  • Systems and methods for measuring time spent associated with a social networking system
    Patent number: 10404817
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media can obtain a first event stream including one or more events of a first type, where each event of the first type is associated with a timestamp. A second event stream including one or more events of a second type can be obtained, where each event of the second type is associated with a timestamp. The first event stream and the second event stream can be merged to generate information associated with a metric relating to a system, based on the timestamps associated with the one or more events of the first type and the timestamps associated with the one or more events of the second type.

  • Systems and methods for estimating user attention
    Patent number: 10404815
    Abstract: Techniques for estimating user attention on a website or application are provided. First activity data for a first user of a website or an application may be identified. The first activity data may indicate activities of the first user on the website or the application. A first predetermined period of inactivity may be detected in the first activity data. A response triggering event may be initiated after the first predetermined period of inactivity. An indication of a user response to the response triggering event may be monitored for. Whether the first user is passively present on the website or the application may be determined based on the monitoring for the indication of the user response.

  • Systems and methods for receiving and processing detected events
    Patent number: 9648117
    Abstract: Techniques for receiving and processing detected events are provided. A bit array may be received from a device. Each bit value in the bit array may indicate whether a user initiated event relating to interaction with a website was detected by the device. Data regarding a start time associated with the bit array may be received. Each bit value in the bit array is associated with a time increment after the start time.
