Patent ID: 10025645

Abstract:
A system for processing user events from a platform having a plurality of users comprises: an input configured to receive user events of the platform, each of which is associated with an identifier of one of users of the platform; a plurality of event processors for processing the user events; an event allocator configured to allocate the user events to the event processors based on the user identifiers associated with the events; and a total count generator. Each of the user events is assigned to one of the event processors, and the event allocator is configured to allocate all of the user events associated with that user identifier to that same event processor. Each of the event processors is configured to generate, from the user events allocated to it, a local user count indicating a number of unique user identifiers associated with those user events. The total count generator is configured to generate, by summing the local user counts from all of the event processors, a total user count indicating a total number of unique users of the platform.
