Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 11:
12. The system of claim 11, wherein the control circuitry, when determining, based on an amount of time between receipt of the electronic communication and a detected change of state of the user, whether the electronic communication caused the change of state of the user, is configured to:
determine the user accessed the electronic communication;
identify a first time instance when the user accessed the electronic communication and a second time instance corresponding to the change of state of the user;
determine the second time instance occurred after the first time instance;
in response to determining the second time instance occurred after the first time instance, calculate a time lapse between the first time instance and the second time instance;
compare the time lapse to a threshold period of time;
determine whether the time lapse is less than the threshold period of time; and
in response to determining the time lapse is less than the threshold period of time, determine the electronic communication caused the change of state of the user.
