Patent number: 10318598Abstract: A system displays and filters reports including website vitiation data in response to receiving user input. The system allows users to launch various reports onto a workspace and filter the entire result set by selected criteria. The system allows the user to specify and configure segments while viewing reports, simply by clicking next to the desired criteria within the report alone or in combination with various keyboard functions. Filtered reports can be further adjusted per additional filters and criteria. The results are returned virtually instantaneously, enabling users to analyze the effects of combinations of factors.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2015Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Brett Michael Error, Catherine Jen Wong

Publication number: 20170357985Abstract: A system for classifying and managing keywords across multiple campaigns comprises a classification manager, a bid management system, a web analytics tool and a search engine. The classification manager interfaces with the bid management system and the web analytics tool to provide user interfaces for reviewing data about specific keywords across multiple campaigns. The classification manager includes a classification keyword repository, a classification creation module, a classification measurement module and a classification user interface module for generating the user interface. This is particularly advantageous because statistics corresponding to keywords can be classified across multiple campaigns to provide greater flexibility in the analysis of web data. The present invention also includes a novel method for the classification of keywords across multiple campaigns.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2017Publication date: December 14, 2017Inventors: Richard Zinn, Brett Michael Error

Patent number: 9396478Abstract: Tools and techniques are provided to allow partners of analytics providers and others who use web-beacons to submit web-beacon plug-ins for scrutiny, and for the plug-in to either be refused or else to be certified for use in a core JavaScript file or similar component. Analytics providers and others may also write web-beacon plug-ins. Certified plug-ins are executed in response to page loads, visitor clicks, and other visitor and programmatic actions at a website that has been tagged by the analytics provider's web-beacon, without requiring re-tagging of the website with a separate web-beacon for the partner. This allows the partner to obtain analytics data by piggybacking on the analytics provider, without re-tagging, and without compromising the availability and accuracy of the analytics data already being gathered. To be certified, web-beacon plug-ins must satisfy specific criteria as to their size, behavior, namespace, and the like.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: Adobe System IncorporatedInventors: Catherine Wong, Brett Michael Error

Patent number: 9390138Abstract: Multiple selected checkpoints define a group of paths represented in an analytics database. One or more events which appear between the multiple checkpoints on each of a plurality of the paths are identified as common bridge events. Path analysis information is then output, such as a bridge event analysis including a list of website visitor common bridge events that are ranked by their frequency of appearance, the frequencies calculated without regard to where each visitor event appears on a given path.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2015Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Christopher Reid Error, Brett Michael Error, John Pestana

Patent number: 9189561Abstract: Two selected checkpoints define a group of paths represented in an analytics database. One or more events which appear between the two checkpoints on each of a plurality of the paths are identified as common bridge events. Path analysis information is then output, such as a bridge event analysis including a list of website visitor common bridge events that are ranked by their frequency of appearance, the frequencies calculated without regard to where each visitor event appears on a given path.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2008Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Christopher Reid Error, Brett Michael Error, John Pestana

Patent number: 9171093Abstract: A system and method provide a summary comparison of data. The summary may compare filtered and unfiltered data or one set of filtered data to another. The system presents a status pane or window to a user in conjunction with filtered data that is dynamically updated to correspond to the data. A summary of the filtered data is available for display side by side with other filtered data or unfiltered data. The reports and summary are dynamically updated.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2011Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventor: Brett Michael Error

Patent number: 8880541Abstract: Tools and techniques are provided to assist detection of invalid clicks in website activity data. A system calculates or otherwise obtains a historic click quality characterization based on historic web analytics data. The system then identifies a click quality anomaly in the website activity data, namely, a departure from the historic click quality characterization. The identified anomalies may then be used to help guide searches for invalid clicks.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2008Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Alex T. Hill, John Vandermay, Brett Michael Error

Patent number: 8417807Abstract: Systems and methods enable displaying an indication of traffic quality. The system retrieves keyword or other traffic data for at least one keyword associated with at least one search engine. The system compares the traffic data for a first time period to the traffic data for a second time period, according to one or more date ranges and other parameters selected by a user for each time period. As a result of the comparison, an indication of the traffic quality associated with a disparity between the first time period data and the second time period data, if any, is displayed.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2012Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Dipendra Malhotra, Brett Michael Error

Patent number: 8365150Abstract: Tools and techniques are provided to allow partners of analytics providers and others who use web-beacons to submit executable web-beacon plug ins. Analytics providers and others may also write web-beacon plug-ins. Certified plug-ins are executed in response to page loads, visitor clicks, and other visitor and programmatic actions at a website that has been tagged by the analytics provider's web-beacon, without requiring re-tagging of the website with a separate web-beacon for the partner. Web-beacons may invoke core analytics code of an analytics provider, where core analytics code may include multiple plug-ins selected by respective analytics provider partners, where each plug-in may send different analytics data from a website visitor's system to a respective analytics provider partner server. This allows the partner to obtain analytics data by piggybacking on the analytics provider, without re-tagging, and without compromising the availability and accuracy of the analytics data already being gathered.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2008Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Catherine Wong, Brett Michael Error

Patent number: 8239522Abstract: Tools and techniques are provided to assist in gathering web analytics data from wireless devices and in other configurations where passing data to an analytics server in a web-beacon query string has been difficult due to lack of an embedded scripting language and/or inaccessibility of desired data values. A dynamic variable specification is built on the web-reading device, including variables with associated data sources, operators, and literal values. The dynamic variable specification is sent to an analytics server, where an interpreter gathers data values and assigns them to variables.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2007Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Chris Luby, Brett Michael Error
