Publication number: 20170213225Abstract: Techniques are described for collecting customer data through a software application in order to optimize registration form to maximize registration success rates, based on a user engagement score related to user's interest, needs, registration behavior patterns, and source of user. In some examples, a method includes evaluating user data indicating interactions of a user with a software application. The method further includes determining a user engagement score for the user based at least in part on the user data. The method further includes determining, based at least in part on the user engagement score, a number and a type of one or more registration fields. The method further includes outputting the one or more registration fields to a display device based at least in part on a triggering event.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2016Publication date: July 27, 2017Inventors: Richard A.
