Patent ID: 8032591

Claim:
A system for mapping user experiences over a network, the system comprising: a server having a communication component for: communicating with a user via a client device over the network; and the server having a processing component for: tracking user navigation events of the user over the network, obtaining previous path data related to a plurality of previous sequences of user navigation events, obtaining revised path data related to a plurality of revised sequences of user navigation events, comparing the previous path data to the revised path data, identifying changes to the previous path data based on the comparison of the previous path data to the revised path data, and generating a map of the user navigation events based on the identified changes to the previous path data, wherein the map comprises a first path taken by the user before a node has been deleted and a second path taken by the user after the node has been deleted, wherein the first and second paths are visually distinct, wherein the deleted node is visually distinct from nodes in the revised data path, wherein changes to path data include at least one of re-routed sequences of user navigation events, deleted sequences of user navigation events, and added sequences of user navigation events, and wherein sequences of user navigation events comprises sequences of network traffic between webpages, and wherein re-routed sequences includes re-routed network traffic between webpages, deleted sequences includes re-routed sequences around deleted webpages, and added sequences includes re-routed sequences through added webpages.
