Abstract:
1. A method of analyzing Internet-based communication sessions using group profile states representing an aggregated function of individual electronic transmissions, the method comprising: detecting, by a computer system, one or more interactions between a web server and a first client device, wherein the one or more interactions are part of a first communication session; detecting, by the computer system, a characteristic associated with the communication session; identifying, by the computer system, a second communication session that is also associated with the characteristic, wherein the the second communication session is associated with a second client device; accessing, by the computer system, or generating a group profile that is associated with the second communication session, where: the group profile is assigned a first group profile state in a state-machine-based progression of group profile states, and the group profile is associated with a group lead score; associating, by the computer system, the first communication session with the group profile; adjusting, by the computer system, the group lead score based on the one or more interactions between the web server and the first client device; determining, by the computer system, that adjusting the group lead score caused the group lead score to cross a threshold value; moving, by the computer system, the group profile from the first group profile state to a second group profile state in response to the group lead score crossing the threshold value; and authorizing, by the computer system, the first client device and the second client device to access additional data content of the web server in response to moving the group profile to the second group profile state.
