System and method for tracking and scoring user activities
First Claim
1. A method for generating a peer-group score, comprising:
- receiving at a computing system 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 at least one user-configurable parameter and at least one non-user-configurable parameter of a user device used to access network-accessible content of the content provider, wherein the at least one non-user-configurable parameter comprises a degradation measurement of processing speed over time of a computer chip of the user device;
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.

7. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer executable instructions that, when executed by a device, cause the device to perform a method comprising:
-
receiving at 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 at least one user-configurable parameter and at least one non-user-configurable parameter of a user device used to access network-accessible content of the content provider, wherein the at least one non-user-configurable parameter comprises a degradation measurement of processing speed over time of a computer chip of the user device; 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 one or more of the classes of service and having 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. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. 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 at least one user-configurable parameter and at least one non-user-configurable parameter of a user device used to access network-accessible content of the content provider, wherein the at least one non-user-configurable parameter comprises a degradation measurement of processing speed over time of a computer chip of the user device; 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 (14, 15, 16, 17)
