  • Patent number: 12367017
    Abstract: A host computer is programmed to receive input specifying definitions of two or more stages, each of the stages representing an attribute of one or more end-user profiles that have undertaken one or more interactions, using computing devices associated with the end-user profiles, with one or more networked computers. For each stage, the user computer can interoperate with a graphical user interface comprising a virtual canvas, a palette comprising a plurality of different graphical icons each representing at least an entry condition and an activation order for digital presentation of information. Visual selection and dragging operations can move copies of an entry condition icon and an activation icon from the palette to the virtual canvas. An entry condition icon is defined using rules to match one or more subsets of the end-user profiles and one or more subsets of the interactions. An activation icon has order attributes order for the digital presentation of information.
