  • Patent number: 11677845
    Abstract: A method includes receiving first event data from a device, the first event data including a first identifier (ID) that identifies the device, web browser metadata, and data associated with an application state. The method includes generating a first persona including the first ID and a first event identifier that identifies a first user action. The method includes receiving second event data, the second event data including device metadata and a second ID that identifies the device. The method includes generating a second persona based on the second event data, the second persona including the second ID and a second event identifier that identifies a second user action. Additionally, the method includes determining that the first and second personas are associated with the device based on matches between the browser metadata and device metadata and transmitting a response to the device configured to route the device to the application state.

  • Patent number: 11650870
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for monitoring operation of and/or interaction with a website to detect events (“frustration events”). In at least one embodiment, a detection system is disclosed that can monitor a website for the same or unrelated interaction and operation to detect events that affect the performance of a website, while contributing to the frustration of user interaction with the website. The detection system can monitor interaction with and/or operation of one or more documents of a website. Interactions with a website, operations of the website, or a combination thereof, may be assessed with respect to a threshold defining an event. One or more criteria (e.g., a time period) of the event may be assessed for the interactions and operations. Event data may be generated for the event(s) that occur, and the event data may be sent to a host system to adjust operation of the website.

  • Patent number: 11638459
    Abstract: Protective goggles for human use including a pair of protective goggles for human use with at least one lens, an upper edge that is positioned against the user's forehead and a lower edge that is positioned against the user's cheek. Each of the user's eyes are covered by a separate section of lens and each of these sections extends along at least one line of curvature. It is intended that each lens section has a first and a second line of curvature that, at least in substantial part, are positioned transversely to one another, and along which the individual sections of lens extend; furthermore, that the lines of curvature of one lens section are inclined towards the lines of curvature of the other lens section in terms of their positioning.

  • Patent number: 11639868
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for determining a volume of remaining liquid in a container are disclosed. A container profile can first be developed using image analysis to determine a maximum liquid level in the container. The profile can then be broken into divisions, each corresponding to an equal volume. When real-world measurements of a liquid level in a real-world container are made, these can be translated to one of the divisions, which can be summed with all underlying divisions to estimate a volume of remaining liquid in the real-world container.

  • Publication number: 20230127790
    Abstract: Techniques can capture, store, and regenerate a view of content in applications (e.g., native applications) on devices (e.g., a mobile device). A capture management system can produce compact data storage of views of content in an application on a device and the efficient search thereof of views of content provided in the application. The views of content can be translated into a transportable data layer, such as HTML, and captured using delta encoding to identify changes and modifications in content accessed in any application at a device. A capture management system can accurately and efficiently capture events displayed for an application at a device and send the events to a server-side system, which can combine the events to reassemble the events. A user interface and user interaction events on an application at a mobile device can be reassembled for the purpose of playback and analysis of interactions with the application.

  • Publication number: 20230090108
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for identifying and masking instances of private information in tracked user interactions with a network site during a network session. A scanning module can receive set of captured user interactions (e.g., movements between portions of the network site and data provided in one or more fields on the network site) with the network site during the network session. Instances of private information can be identified and a number of nodes in a document object model (DOM) for the network site that correspond to each identified instance of private information. Information about each corresponding node can be provided to update a capture agent to mask each corresponding node in future user interactions.

  • Publication number: 20220353345
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for determining an impact of slow performing webpages on a website. For example, a detection system may be provided to determine timing distributions for webpages by analyzing timing measurements for different timing metrics. The detection system may determine ranges of the timing distributions for slow and fast group of users of the website. The detection system may analyze user interactions of slow and fast group of users on the website. The detection system may further determine impacts of poor performing webpages on the website's performance based on the analysis of the user interactions on the webpages. The detection system may classify the impacts the webpages of the website and display the classifications to a website provider for identifying network operation(s) contributing to poor performance of the webpages.

  • Publication number: 20220279032
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for identifying issues related to digital interactions. For example, a detection system may be provided to analyze suspect sessions to determine if one or more stages associated with the suspect sessions are underperforming compared to corresponding stages associated with similar sessions. The detection system may provide a user interface that allows a user to select one or more attributes that may be associated with one or more sessions. Selection of the one or more attributes may identify multiple sessions (referred to as suspect sessions herein). The one or more suspect sessions may be analyzed to determine whether one or more stages associated with the one or more suspect sessions are underperforming compared to corresponding stages associated with one or more other sessions determined to be similar to the one or more suspect sessions.

  • Publication number: 20220245013
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for evaluating user activities on a website for detecting and alerting anomalies with the website. For example, an alerting system may determine a set of time-windows for each of a set of attribute value(s) and use a set of performance metrics and/or web session events for the time-windows from historical web sessions to detect an anomaly in a current time-window. The alerting system may determine an evaluation range based on weighted performance ranges, and alert a client indicating a performance anomaly if a performance metric at the time of evaluation are out of the evaluation range. Attribute value(s) related to a website issue can be identified based on a correlated to anomalous web session events or to an anomalous time-window.
