  • Patent number: 11372744
    Abstract: Mobile devices worldwide execute applications that utilize data services, with issues involving the transfer of data via networks impacting the operation and user experience of those applications. Data is acquired from a mobile computing device executing an application and processed to determine occurrence of a group of related activities performed when executing the application. Parameters of the activities are analyzed, and those parameters associated with poor performance are presented in a user interface. The interface provides impact information about the effect of the activities on operation of the application and may include recommended actions to mitigate the poor performance. A user may interact with data within the interface to trigger a workflow to analyze indicated portions of the data. Subsequent results of this analysis may be returned to the user via the user interface or may be implemented as analytic rules for subsequent data processing.
