  • Patent number: 9021361
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating visualization data representing network traffic flow in or out of one or more nodes, each node representing the network traffic for one or more web pages. The method includes visualizing data configured to connect the one or more nodes with one or more connectors, each connector configured to connect two nodes, the one or more connectors configured to have a dimension that indicates a number of visits between two nodes. The network traffic capable of being highlighted when a user selects the one or more nodes or connectors.

  • Patent number: 8994746
    Abstract: A system and method for generating a flow based on multiply types of interactions are provided. Data defining one or more sequences of multiple interactive nodes are received for the multiple interactive nodes, where each of the multiple interactive nodes corresponds to a particular type of interaction. One of the interactive nodes is designated as the starting interactive node and other interactive nodes are designated as intermediary interactive nodes, where the starting interactive node and at least one of the intermediary interactive nodes correspond to different types of interactions. Intermediary interactive nodes are connected to the starting interactive node based on the one or more sequences, where the connection includes one edge corresponding to a direct connection to the starting interactive node or multiple edges corresponding to an indirect connection via at least one other intermediary interactive node. Visualization data for the interactive nodes is generated and provided for display.

  • Patent number: 8838602
    Abstract: Systems and methods for webpage grouping based on URLS include receiving a uniform resource locator item; receiving a plurality of flow paths from a database, each flow path representing a path of web page visits by a user, each flow path comprising the uniform resource locator item, each flow path further comprising at least one other uniform resource locator item having a uniform resource locator prefix; defining a node for display based on the uniform resource locator prefix common to the plurality of flow paths; and generating display data comprising a representation of the uniform resource locator item and a representation of the defined node.

  • Patent number: 8650492
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a navigation flow visualization of network traffic. The system and method configured to receive user input that identifies a node that is a grouping of network resources. Generating a visualization data of network traffic flowing into the identified node from the incoming nodes and displaying the network traffic flowing out of the identified node to the outgoing nodes. The method includes connecting the incoming nodes with the identified node using the connectors, the connectors having a width dimension that indicates a number of visits from the incoming nodes to the identified node. The method includes connecting the identified node with the outgoing nodes using the connectors that has a width dimension that indicates a number of visits from the identified node to the outgoing nodes.
