Systems and methods for remote replay of user interaction with a webpage
First Claim
1. A system for facilitating remote replay of a user interaction with a webpage, the user interaction occurring from a user computer being connected over a network to a server hosting the webpage, the user computer comprising a web browser and input/output devices, the webpage being an HTML document including dynamic elements being configured to execute operations that write modifications to the HTML document, and with a tracking script providing instructions to the web browser to record a tracking record and with the tracking record including information regarding the input/output devices, the system comprising:
- a tracking server communicating over the network with at least one of the user computer and the server and being configured to fetch, from at least one of the user computer and the server, the tracking record comprising the user interaction with the webpage and including the dynamic elements of the webpage; and
an analysis computer communicating with the tracking server over the network;
wherein the tracking server is configured to normalize the tracking record by removing modifications written to the HTML document by operations executed with the dynamic elements; and
wherein the analysis computer requests the normalized tracking record from the tracking server to create an interaction visualization based on the normalized tracking record to replay the user interaction with the webpage.

Abstract
A system and method for replaying a user'"'"'s interaction with a webpage by requesting playback of user interaction data from a replay server, receiving a media asset from the replay server to allow playback the requested user interaction data, the media asset being pre-fetched for use by a proxy application, periodically requesting and receiving the user interaction data from the replay server, recreating an interaction visualization from the user interaction data, and playing back said interaction visualization based on data received from the replay server.

10. A computer-implemented method for utilizing a tracking server to facilitate remote replay of a user interaction with a webpage, the user interaction occurring from a user computer being connected over a network to a server hosting the webpage, the user computer comprising a web browser and input/output devices, the webpage being an HTML document including dynamic elements for executing operations that write modifications to the HTML document, and with a tracking script providing instructions to the web browser to record a tracking record and with the tracking record including information regarding the input/output devices, the computer-implemented method comprising:
-
fetching, with the tracking server, the tracking record from at least one of the user computer and the server and with the tracking record comprising the user interaction with the webpage and including the dynamic elements of the webpage; normalizing, with the tracking server, the tracking record by removing modifications written to the HTML document by operations executed with the dynamic elements; and providing, with the tracking server, the normalized tracking record to an analysis computer to create an interaction visualization based on the normalized tracking record to replay the user interaction with the webpage. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions to facilitate remote replay of a user interaction with a webpage, the user interaction occurring from a user computer being connected over a network to a server hosting the webpage, the user computer comprising a web browser and input/output devices, the webpage being an HTML document including dynamic elements for executing operations that write modifications to the HTML document, and with a tracking script providing instructions to the web browser to record a tracking record and with the tracking record including information regarding the input/output devices, the computer-executable instructions, when executed by one or more processors, are configured to:
-
fetch the tracking record from at least one of the user computer and the server and with the tracking record comprising the user interaction with the webpage and including the dynamic elements of the webpage; normalize the tracking record by removing modifications written to the HTML document by operations executed with the dynamic elements; and provide the normalized tracking record to an analysis computer to create an interaction visualization based on the normalized tracking record to replay the user interaction with the webpage.
