System and method for capturing browser sessions and user actions
First Claim
1. A method for collecting data about at least one of a user action and a user interface reaction, comprising:
- detecting at least one of a user action and a user interface reaction;
separating at least one of a user action and a user interface reaction into at least one event and associated data;
storing said at least one event and associated data, such that at least one of a user action and a user interface reaction is constructable from said at least one event and associated data.

Abstract
A system and method for the collection of data with regard to the actions of the user during an interactive session over a network. The present invention preferably features a client which is operated by the computational device of the user, and which more preferably collects information both about user input device actions and the reactions which are displayed through the user interface. The user interface is preferably a GUI (graphical user interface), but optionally and more preferably is a Web browser interface. Alternatively, the user interface is any type of interface which becomes altered upon receiving user input through a user input device. The client preferably collects these different types of data and then more preferably sends the data to be stored in a central database.

12. A method for collecting data about an interactive user session, comprising:
-
displaying a Web page as part of the interactive user session;
detecting at least one of a user action and a user interface reaction as part of the interactive user session; and
collecting data about said Web page and said at least one of a user action and a user interface reaction. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21)

22. A method for capturing a Web-based session by a user computational device, comprising:
-
connecting a Web browser of the user computational device to a Web server;
establishing the Web-based session between said Web browser and said Web server;
capturing data about the Web-based session by the user computational device, including data about at least one Web page; and
processing said captured data such that said at least one Web page is displayable. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29)

30. A system for collecting data about an interactive user session, comprising:
-
(a) a user computational device;
(b) a client operated by said user computational device for collecting the data about the interactive user session to form collected data;
(c) a server for performing the interactive user session with said user computational device; and
(d) at least one process for parsing said collected data into a plurality of data components, such that replaying said plurality of data components enables the interactive user session to be replayed. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34)
