Method for continuous, frame-specific click-stream recording
First Claim
1. A data processing system-implemented method of tracking movement between network addresses comprising:
- receiving a first frame identifier and a first network address at a first time;
finding a record including the first frame identifier, a second network address, and a second time, wherein the second time precedes the first time; and
generating an entry for a table that includes the first frame identifier, the first network address, the second network address, and a third time.

Abstract
A data processing system-implemented method can be used to better track a user'"'"'s movements between network addresses. The method can comprise sending a frame identifier and a requested (current) network address at a first time. The method can also comprise finding a record including the frame identifier that has a prior network address and a time prior to the current time. The method can further comprise generating an entry for a table that includes the frame identifier, the current network address, the prior network address, and time. A server computer or a client computer can generate the entry. Improved accountability and improved user profile accuracy can be obtained with the method. A data processing system readable medium can comprise code that includes instructions for carrying out the method.

8. A data processing system-implemented method of tracking movement between network addresses comprising:
-
displaying a first view to a user, wherein the first view includes a first frame having a first frame identifier and a second frame having a second frame identifier;
receiving a first request for a first network address from the user, wherein the first request is generated by the user activating a first object within the first frame;
sending the first frame identifier and the first network address at a first time;
finding a record including the first frame identifier, a second network address, and a second time, wherein, for the first frame identifier, the second time precedes the first time; and
generating a first entry for a table that includes the first frame identifier, the first network address, the second network address, and a third time. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A data processing system readable medium having code embodied therein, the code including instructions executable by a data processing system, wherein the instructions are configured to cause the data processing system to perform a method of tracking movement between network addresses, the method comprising:
-
receiving a first frame identifier and a first network address at a first time;
finding a record including the first frame identifier, a second network address, and a second time, wherein the second time precedes the first time; and
generating an entry for a table that includes the first frame identifier, the first network address, the second network address, and a third time. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
