Usage management system
First Claim
1. In a usage management system for tracking a sequence of events generated by a plurality of applications in response to usage activities of users of an interactive system, a usage processing system, comprising:
- a usage application server adapted to receive a plurality of event records generated in response to said usage activities of said users of said interactive system, said application server further adapted to track the time of occurrence of each one of said generated events, wherein said event records contain at least one domain identification, each domain representing a logical location corresponding to an application, and said usage application server tracking the time of occurrence of each domain; and
a database coupled to said usage application server adapted to store data corresponding to an identity of said generated events and corresponding times of occurrence.

Abstract
A usage management system for tracking usage of applications available to subscribers of an interactive network includes an application server adapted to process a plurality of applications on demand by the users. The application server generates a plurality of event records each event record including at least one active domain identifier representing a domain being executed. Each domain represents an executable logical location within an application. A usage processing server is coupled to the application server, which is adapted to receive signals from the application server corresponding to the generated event records. The usage processing server is further adapted to track the time of occurrence of each domain identified in each event record.
