Patent number: 8170993Abstract: Website administrators can specify page groups and/or single pages as checkpoint nodes for site analysis reporting purposes, and can configure the system of the invention to provide information as to a particular visitation path through the checkpoints. Any group of pages can be designed as a single checkpoint node for website traffic analysis and reporting purposes. Page groups can be used in place of or in addition to individual web pages in any context where site traffic analysis is being presented or performed.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2008Date of Patent: May 1, 2012Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Christopher Reid Error, Brett Error

Patent number: 8135722Abstract: A system and method for defining a segment for filtering website visitation data is disclosed. The method allows for creation and editing of a segment using various rules. The rules are defined using events and containers, which act as criteria by which the data is filtered. The system displays the segments and allows the user to apply them to stored data.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2010Date of Patent: March 13, 2012Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Christopher Reid Error, Brett Michael Error

Patent number: 8099491Abstract: In the context of a site analysis report showing paths between nodes, nodes are automatically positioned within the report in an intelligent manner, according to specified criteria so as to provide useful information about the represented pages. For example, the Y-axis can indicate relative depth of a page in the site, while the X-axis represents conversion rate. Alternatively, node position can represent any other quantitatively representable data, either specified as a default or selected by the user. In one embodiment, the automatic positioning can be overridden by a user, if desired.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2007Date of Patent: January 17, 2012Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventor: Christopher Reid Error

Patent number: 8024651Abstract: Tools and techniques are provided to visualize and manage data. A hierarchical pie chart is placed in operational correspondence with a hierarchical table. Slices of a pie chart level correspond to nodes of a table level. When a user causes a change in a node/slice, the software automatically performs a matching change in the corresponding slice/node. This occurs for operational changes such as selection, creation, deletion, expanding (zoom in, drill down), contracting, updating data, and changing a label. The path taken through the table to reach the present data breakdown may also be displayed.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2007Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventor: Christopher Reid Error

Patent number: 8006187Abstract: Tools and techniques are provided for interactive fallout analysis. Checkpoints, such as web pages visited, are defined through user input. As the second and subsequent checkpoints are added, fallout metrics are automatically calculated and displayed for the checkpoint pairs. The user receives fallout information interactively, in response to each change in the sequence of checkpoints, rather than being forced to define all checkpoints and then wait while the fallout metrics are calculated for a batch of checkpoint definition changes. Special coloring or other visualization highlights indicate when the fallout between two checkpoints is total.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2007Date of Patent: August 23, 2011Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Michael Paul Bailey, Christopher Reid Error

Patent number: 7603373Abstract: Elements on a website are associated with the business success of the website, such as determined by sales or orders. Contribution of the elements to the business success is accomplished by assignment a fraction of the success value to each element using allocation, participation, and/or allocated participation methods. Reports are generated quantifying website element usage, for example by superimposing color shadings or other visual indicia on a representation of a page of the website.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2004Date of Patent: October 13, 2009Assignee: Omniture, Inc.Inventors: Brett M. Error, Christopher Reid Error

Publication number: 20090006995Abstract: Objects on a web page are associated with stored records indicating historical object usage. Associations between objects and records take into account discrepancies in object identifiers resulting from authorial edits and/or differences in browser assignment of object identifiers. An object having an object identifier that differs from that of a stored record by not more than a predetermined tolerance value, and that has other indicia that match the stored record, is considered to match the stored record. Reports are generated quantifying web page object usage, for example by superimposing color shadings or other visual indicia on a representation of a web page.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2008Publication date: January 1, 2009Applicant: OMNITURE, INC.Inventors: Brett M.

Publication number: 20080181463Abstract: In the context of a site analysis report showing paths between nodes, color is used to indicate a direction of traffic that follows a particular node-to-node path. Different colors are assigned to different nodes in a site analysis report. Paths are color-coded according to their destination nodes, so as to provide a distinctive visual identification of a traffic flow direction. Node connection direction can be reinforced by static or moving arrows.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2007Publication date: July 31, 2008Applicant: Omniture, Inc.Inventor: Christopher Reid Error

Publication number: 20080184113Abstract: In the context of a site analysis report showing paths between nodes, a relevance slider allows a user to dynamically specify how many node-to-node connections should be shown at any given time. The user can position the slider as desired, so as to specify a threshold level. Only those node connections having a relevance level (measured, for example, as a traffic level) exceeding the specified threshold are shown. In one embodiment, lines representing node connections fade in and out as the slider is moved, so as to provide instantaneous visual feedback.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2007Publication date: July 31, 2008Applicant: Omniture, Inc.Inventor: Christopher Reid Error

Patent number: 7383334Abstract: A system compares website visitation data sets in response to receiving user input. The system includes a client for processing the input to define one or more data sets as a query to a network, which returns the requested data. The system calculates, for at least one website visitation metric, a difference between values of the website visitation metric for the data sets, and displays one or more reports. In addition, reports can be further adjusted per additional data input. The results enable users to analyze the effects of combinations of factors.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2006Date of Patent: June 3, 2008Assignee: Omniture, Inc.Inventors: Catherine Jen Wong, Christopher Reid Error, Brett Michael Error
