  • Patent number: 10705858
    Abstract: Techniques to facilitate acquisition of analytics associated with an application are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, an analytics function call from main program code of the application to a third party analytics function is monitored. Responsive to the analytics function call, the analytics function call is intercepted and a call handler function is invoked instead of the third party analytics function. The call handler function processes the analytics function call to extract analytics data from the analytics function call. A copy of the third party analytics function is then called.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10282216
    Abstract: Techniques to facilitate acquisition of analytics data in a mobile application are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, a software module of the mobile application monitors for an analytics function call from main program code to third party analytics code. The analytics function call is intercepted to redirect the analytics function call to a call handler function. The call handler function processes the analytics function call to extract analytics data from the analytics function call. The analytics function call is then passed to the third party analytics code.

  • Publication number: 20170019490
    Abstract: Techniques to facilitate collection of usage statistics of an application are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, one or more visual elements of the application that respond to user inputs are determined. Frequency of use information for the one or more visual elements of the application is also determined. The frequency of use information for the one or more visual elements of the application is transferred to an application server, and the application server is configured to calculate usage statistics for the one or more visual elements of the application based on the frequency of use information.
