Patent ID: 7035925

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for analyzing interaction data to identify occurrences of defined types of interactions by using information about times of the occurrences, the method comprising: receiving an indication of interaction data that is associated with a content set and that has at least one entry, each entry related to an interaction with the content set and including an indication of when the interaction occurred; receiving an indication of multiple interaction type definitions that each specify a type of interaction with the content set and that are each applicable to interactions with the content set that occur at indicated times; and for each entry of the interaction data, determining whether the entry matches one of the interaction type definitions in such a manner that the related interaction for the entry is of the type specified by that interaction type definition and occurred at a time when that interaction type definition is indicated to be applicable; and when it is determined that the entry matches one of the interaction type definitions, indicating an occurrence of that interaction type.
