User logging of web traffic on non-browser based devices
First Claim
1. A method for metering web traffic, comprising:
- receiving, at a first computing device, a first request from a second computing device to access data from a first remote server;
determining, by the first computing device, that the first computing device lacks authorization to associate the first request with a user of the second computing device;
determining, by the first computing device, that the second computing device is unable to render a user login interface;
identifying, by the first computing device, a plurality of users associated with the second computing device;
transmitting, by the first computing device to a third computing device in proximity to the second computing device, personal information associated with each of the plurality of users associated with the second computing device;
receiving, by the first computing device from the third computing device, a selection of personal information associated with one of the plurality of users and authorization to associate the first request with the selected personal information; and
generating, by the first computing device, a first data record for the first request, the first data record comprising an identifier of the first request and the selected personal information.

Abstract
A method for associating a web event with a member of a group of users is implemented at a first computing device. The method includes: receiving a data access request from a second computing device; determining whether the second computing device provides a user login service; if so, causing the second computing device to render the user login service so that the user can provide an instruction of whether or not to associate the data access request with the user of the second computing device; if not, identifying a third computing device that is physically proximate the second computing device; and causing the third computing device to output an alert signal prompting the user of the second computing device to respond; and in response to the user'"'"'s response through the third computing device, generating a data record to associate the data access request with the user of the second computing device.

19. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that cause one or more processors of a first computing device executing the instructions to:
-
receive, at the first computing device, a first request from a second computing device to access data from a first remote server; determine that the first computing device lacks authorization to associate the first request with a user of the second computing device; determine that the second computing device is unable to render a user login interface; identify a plurality of users associated with the second computing device; transmit, from the first computing device to a third computing device in proximity to the second computing device, personal information associated with each of the plurality of users associated with the second computing device; receive, by the first computing device from the third computing device, a selection of personal information associated with one of the plurality of users and authorization to associate the first request with the selected personal information; and generate a first data record for the third request, the first data record comprising an identifier of the first request and the selected personal information. - View Dependent Claims (20)
