SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MODIFYING LINKS WITHIN A WEB SITE
First Claim
1. A method for managing an interactive system, the method comprising:
- accessing a representation of a first structure of the interactive system, the interactive system having a plurality of states, and the structure being defined by a plurality of transitional links between the states of the interactive system;
analyzing session data based on a predetermined set of parameters that are defined by the first structure of the interactive system, the session data representing actual user navigation between two or more of the states of the interactive system; and
determining, with a computer processor, a second structure for the interactive system when the session data fails to meet the set of parameters, wherein as compared to the first structure, the second structure has an additional transitional link directly between a first state of the interactive system and a second state of the interactive system.

Abstract
Methods for managing an interactive system, such as a web site, are disclosed. An interactive system can comprise a plurality of states, and a first structure of the interactive system can be defined by transitional links between those states. Session data can represent user navigation through the states, and a predetermined set of parameters for session data can be defined by the first structure of the interactive system. The method can include accessing a representation of the first structure of the interactive system, and analyzing the session data based on the predetermined set of parameters. A second structure for the interactive system can be determined when the first set of parameters are not met, such that as compared to the first structure, the second structure adds or removes a transitional link directly between the a first state of the interactive system and a second state of the interactive system.

19. A computer program product embodied in a computer-readable medium, the computer program product comprising an algorithm adapted to effectuate a method for managing an interactive system, the method comprising:
-
identifying a first set of transitional links between a plurality of states of an interactive system; analyzing user interaction data representing navigation of one or more users through the states of the interactive system; identifying a first anomaly in the interactive system based on analysis of the user interaction data; and determining a second set of transitional links to reduce the identified anomaly, wherein the second set of transitional links is modified from the first set of transitional links based on analysis of the user interaction data. - View Dependent Claims (20)
