Method and system for collecting data on a wireless device
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- generating, with a processor, a first hierarchical tree structure for a first wireless device metering event associated with a plurality of data attributes describing an occurrence of the first wireless device metering event associated with an application by;
identifying, with the processor, the first event as a highest node of the first hierarchical tree structure; and
forming, with the processor, lower level nodes of the first hierarchical tree structure based on the plurality of data attributes;
generating, with the processor, a second hierarchical tree structure for a second wireless device metering event associated with a plurality of data attributes describing an occurrence of the second wireless device metering event associated with the application by;
identifying, with the processor, the second event as a highest node of the second hierarchical tree structure; and
forming, with the processor, lower level nodes of the second hierarchical tree structure based on the plurality of data attributes;
linking, with the processor, a first lower level node of the first hierarchical tree structure to a second lower level node of the second hierarchical tree structure when a first data attribute associated with the first lower level node and a second data attribute associated with the second lower level node share a feature, the first wireless device metering event and the second wireless device metering event being separate and independent events; and
storing the first hierarchical tree structure and the second hierarchical tree structure.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and tangible computer readable storage media for collecting data on a wireless device are disclosed. An example method includes generating a first hierarchical tree structure for a first wireless device metering event associated with a plurality of data attributes describing an occurrence of the first wireless device metering event associated with an application. The example method includes generating a second hierarchical tree structure for a second wireless device metering event associated with a plurality of data attributes describing an occurrence of the second wireless device metering event associated with the application. The example method includes linking a first lower level node of the first hierarchical tree structure to a second lower level node of the second hierarchical tree structure when a first data attribute associated with the first lower level node and a second data attribute associated with the second lower level node share a feature.
