| 20080295003 | Method, System, and Computer Program Product For Efficiently Serializing Navigational State in a Portal - The present invention provides a method, system, and computer program product for efficiently serializing navigational state into URLs or the header of the new portal page by using a complete stream-based serialization. The inventive serialization is divided into two sub-processes which are both stream-based. The first stream-based serialization sub-process which is hierarchy-oriented uses the hierarchical object representation of the navigational state and transforms it into a series of events. The events serve as the input for various strategies for compacting information that is associated with these events. At the end of the sub-process the compacted navigational state information carried by the received events is transformed into a character-based representation and the hierarchical structure of the navigational state is derived from the order of the received events and transformed into an additional character-based representation both being directly streamed to the second sub-process. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20100070856 | Method for Graphical Visualization of Multiple Traversed Breadcrumb Trails - A method for graphical visualization of multiple clickstreams traversed by a user that involves initiating a clickstream session in response to a user log-in and intercepting and storing all navigation interactions of the user during the clickstream session by a clickstream recorder component. In response to the user's request, the stored navigation interactions of the user for the clickstream session are analyzed by a clickstream analyzer to identify segments comprising interconnected nodes sequentially traversed by the user in a single navigation path during the session and to distinguish segments comprising nodes unrelated to other nodes traversed during the session. A graphic depiction of the identified segments comprising the interconnected nodes sequentially traversed by the user in a single navigation path during the session is presented to the user by a clickstream visualizer. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100070929 | Method for Automatically Constructing Pageflows by Analysing Traversed Breadcrumbs - A method for constructing pageflows by analyzing multiple clickstreams traversed by a user involves analyzing stored navigation interactions of a user to identify segments comprising interconnected nodes sequentially traversed by the user in a single navigation path during a session and to distinguish segments comprising nodes unrelated to other nodes traversed during the session and generating and storing a pageflow consisting of a list of semantically related nodes sequentially traversed by the user at least a pre-determined number of times in a single navigation path during the session based on an analysis of the stored navigation interactions of the user for the clickstream session. The stored pageflow is displayed for the user by a pageflow navigator, and the user is prompted with options to select and recall sequences of nodes from the pageflow and/or to transform the pageflow into an XML structure for export. | 03-18-2010 |
