Abstract:
1. A system in a computer networked environment for generating monitoring information about a display of content, comprising: a content provider site that stores a content file, wherein the content file is associated with at least one computer executable monitoring function to cause collection of monitoring information about the display of content associated with the content file; a content display site to receive the content file from the content provider site and to display the content associated with the content file, wherein the content display site receives the at least one monitoring function in response to a request to the content provider site for the content, wherein the content display site executes the at least one monitoring function when the content is accessed, thereby causing monitoring information about the display of the content to be collected by selectively requesting an operating system to redraw at least a portion of an image associated with the content and monitoring a response of the content display site; and a remote site to receive the collected monitoring information, wherein the remote site includes a graphical user interface to provide selective access to monitoring data based on the monitoring information, wherein the graphical user interface displays a percentage of time that an image was unobstructed based on the monitoring information.
