System and Method for Tracking and Scoring User Activities
First Claim
1. A method for generating a peer-group score, comprising:
- receiving at a server information including a device identifier, a user score associated with the device identifier, and content provider information from a content provider, the device identifier being based on one or more of user-configurable and non-user-configurable parameters of a user device used to access network-accessible content of the content provider;
categorizing the content provider as belonging to one or more classes of service based on the received information;
retrieving from a database one or more provider-generated user scores belonging to an identical one of the one or more classes of service and being associated with an identical device identifier; and
generating a peer-group score for the received device identifier based on the received user score and the one or more retrieved provider-generated user scores.

Abstract
A system for tracking user activities on a computing network and generating a peer-group score based on those activities may be implemented in hardware and software that when executed performs steps for receiving at a server information including a device identifier, a user score associated with the device identifier, and content provider information from a content provider, the device identifier being based on one or more of user-configurable and non-user-configurable parameters of a user device used to access network-accessible content of the content provider, categorizing the content provider as belonging to one or more classes of service based on the received information, retrieving from a database one or more provider-generated user scores belonging to an identical one of the one or more classes of service and being associated with an identical device identifier, and generating a peer-group score for the received device identifier based on the received user score and the one or more retrieved provider-generated user scores.

15. A system for generating a peer-group score, comprising:
-
a server configured to receive information including a device identifier, a user score associated with the device identifier, and content provider information from a content provider, the device identifier being based on one or more of user-configurable and non-user-configurable parameters of a user device used to access network-accessible content of the content provider; a data analyzer coupled to the server, the data analyzer configured to categorize the content provider as belonging to one or more classes of service based on the received information; a database manager coupled to the server, the database manager configured to retrieve one or more provider-generated user scores belonging to one of the classes of service and having an identical device identifier; and a statistic engine coupled to the server, the statistic engine configured to generate a peer-group score for the received device identifier based on the received user score and the one or more retrieved provider-generated user scores. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
