Abstract

A collection configuration management system can be used to manage one or more monitoring objects, such as tags, included in one or more content objects. The collection configuration management system can compartmentalize monitoring object configurations into a monitoring object bundle that may be executed as a result of loading the one or more content objects. The monitoring object bundle can be generated to include one or more monitoring objects, as well as monitoring object management loader functionality.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for controlling collection and transmission of data indicative of interactions with a content object, the system comprising:
one or more processors programmed to:
generate a first user interface comprising functionality for a user to configure a monitoring object bundle, the monitoring object bundle comprising instructions that when executed by an electronic device cause the electronic device to:
gather interaction data indicative of interactions with one or more content objects, and
transmit the interaction data via a computer network to a computing system,

generate a second user interface comprising functionality for the user to associate the monitoring object bundle with a first content object and a second content object so that, when the electronic device loads a first content page that causes loading of the first content object and when the electronic device loads a second content page that causes loading of the second content object, the monitoring object bundle is requested and processed by the electronic device and causes the electronic device to gather and transmit the interaction data indicative of the interactions with the first content object or the second content object, and
output the first user interface and the second user interface for presentation to the user; and

a memory device in communication with the one or more processors, the memory device being configured to store the first user interface and the second user interface.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors is programmed to, responsive to a first user input via the first user interface that denotes a first monitoring object and a second monitoring object, indicate to include the first monitoring object and the second monitoring object in the monitoring object bundle.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the one or more processors is programmed to, responsive to a second user input via the first user interface that denotes a third monitoring object, indicate to remove the third monitoring object from the monitoring object bundle.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors is programmed to, responsive to a user input via the first user interface, indicate to change the monitoring object bundle so that gathering of the interaction data by the electronic device is adjusted.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors is programmed to, responsive to a user input via the second user interface, indicate to associate the monitoring object bundle with the first content object and the second content object by assignment of a common identifier to the monitoring object bundle, the first content object, and the second content object.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second user interface comprises functionality for the user to further associate the monitoring object bundle with a third content object so that, when the electronic device loads a third content page that causes loading of the third content object, the monitoring object bundle is further requested and processed by the electronic device.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors is programmed to communicate via the computer network to a computing device (i) configuration data that was received with the first user interface for the monitoring object bundle and (ii) an association of the monitoring object bundle with the first content object and the second content object that was received with the second user interface.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors is programmed to generate a third user interface comprising functionality for the user to provide authentication data for a content object server to permit access to content organization data comprising a plurality of identifiers associated with a plurality of content objects including the first content object and the second content object.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors is programmed to generate the first user interface and the second user interface by a browser.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the interactions with the first content object or the second content object comprise user interactions with the first content object or the second content object.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the monitoring object bundle is a data file comprising script language, and the first content object comprises a first image or a first video and the second content object comprises a second image or a second video.

12. A method of controlling collection of data indicative of interactions with a content object, the method comprising:
by one or more processors:
generating a first user interface comprising functionality for a user to configure a monitoring object bundle, the monitoring object bundle comprising instructions that when executed by an electronic device cause the electronic device to:
gather interaction data indicative of interactions with one or more content objects, and
transmit the interaction data via a computer network to a computing system;

generating a second user interface comprising functionality for the user to associate the monitoring object bundle with a first content object and a second content object so that, when the electronic device loads a first content page that causes loading of the first content object and when the electronic device loads a second content page that causes loading of the second content object, the monitoring object bundle is requested and processed by the electronic device and causes the electronic device to gather and transmit the interaction data indicative of the interactions with the first content object or the second content object; and
presenting the first user interface and the second user interface to the user on a display.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:
indicating to include a first monitoring object and a second monitoring object in the monitoring object bundle in response to a first user input via the first user interface that denotes the first monitoring object and the second monitoring object; and
indicating to remove a third monitoring object from the monitoring object bundle in response to a second user input via the first user interface that denotes the third monitoring object.

14. The method of claim 12 , further comprising, in response to a user input via the first user interface, indicating to change the monitoring object bundle so that gathering of the interaction data by the electronic device is adjusted.

15. The method of claim 12 , further comprising, in response to a user input via the second user interface, indicating to associate the monitoring object bundle with the first content object and the second content object by assigning a common identifier to the monitoring object bundle, the first content object, and the second content object.

16. The method of claim 12 , further comprising communicating via the computer network to a computing device (i) configuration data that was received with the first user interface for the monitoring object bundle and (ii) an association of the monitoring object bundle with the first content object and the second content object that was received with the second user interface.

17. The method of claim 12 , further comprising generating a third user interface comprising functionality for the user to provide authentication data for a content object server to permit access to content organization data comprising a plurality of identifiers associated with a plurality of content objects including the first content object
