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

1 - 20 . (canceled)

21 . A system for controlling collection and transmission of data indicative of user interactions with a content object, the system comprising:
computer-readable storage; and one or more processors programmed to:
receive a bundle request from a user system, the bundle request identifying an identifier of a plurality of identifiers, the plurality of identifiers being associated with a plurality of content objects, the identifier being associated with a first content object and a second content object;
access a monitoring object bundle using the identifier identified by the bundle request, the monitoring object bundle comprising instructions that when executed by the user system cause the user system to transmit, to a computing system, interaction data indicative of user interactions with the first content object or the second content object; and
transmit the monitoring object bundle to the user system causing the user system to gather the interaction data and transmit the interaction data to the computing system.

22 . The system of claim 21 , wherein the one or more processors are programmed to generate the monitoring object bundle.

23 . The system of claim 22 , wherein the monitoring object bundle is generated in response to receiving the bundle request.

24 . The system of claim 22 , wherein the one or more processors are programmed to store the monitoring object bundle in the computer-readable storage prior to receiving the bundle request, wherein the monitoring object bundle is accessed from the computer-readable storage.

25 . The system of claim 21 , wherein the monitoring object bundle is configured so that:
when the user system loads a first content page that causes loading of the first content object, the monitoring object bundle is requested and processed by the user system and causes the user system to gather and transmit the interaction data indicative of the user interactions with the first content object, and when the user system loads a second content page that causes loading of the second content object, the monitoring object bundle is requested and processed by the user system and causes the user system to gather and transmit the interaction data indicative of the user interactions with the second content object.

26 . The system of claim 21 , wherein the one or more processors are programmed to:
transmit an identifier request to a content object server to obtain the plurality of identifiers associated with the plurality of content objects; and receive the plurality of identifiers associated with the plurality of content objects from the content object server.

27 . The system of claim 21 , 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.

28 . A computer-implemented method comprising:
under control of a computing system comprising one or more computing devices configured to execute specific instructions:
receiving a bundle request from a user system, the bundle request identifying an identifier of a plurality of identifiers, the plurality of identifiers being associated with a plurality of content objects, the identifier being associated with a first content object and a second content object;
accessing a monitoring object bundle using the identifier identified by the bundle request, the monitoring object bundle comprising instructions that when executed by the user system cause the user system to transmit, to a computing system, interaction data indicative of user interactions with the first content object or the second content object; and
transmitting the monitoring object bundle to the user system causing the user system to gather the interaction data and transmit the interaction data to the computing system.

29 . The computer-implemented method of claim 28 , further comprising generating the monitoring object bundle.

30 . The computer-implemented method of claim 29 , wherein generating the monitoring object bundle is performed in response to receiving the bundle request.

31 . The computer-implemented method of claim 29 , further comprising storing the monitoring object bundle in computer-readable storage prior to receiving the bundle request, wherein accessing the monitoring object bundle comprises accessing the monitoring object bundle from the computer-readable storage.

32 . The computer-implemented method of claim 29 , wherein generating the monitoring object bundle comprises generating the monitoring object bundle so that:
when the user system loads a first content page that causes loading of the first content object, the monitoring object bundle is requested and processed by the user system and causes the user system to gather and transmit the interaction data indicative of the user interactions with the first content object, and when the user system loads a second content page that causes loading of the second content object, the monitoring object bundle is requested and processed by the user system and causes the user system to gather and transmit the interaction data indicative of the user interactions with the second content object.

33 . The computer-implemented method of claim 28 , further comprising communicating, to a computing apparatus, configuration data indicative of the association of the monitoring object bundle with the first identifier.

34 . The computer-implemented method of claim 28 , further comprising:
transmitting an identifier request to a content object server to obtain the plurality of identifiers associated with the plurality of content objects; and receiving the plurality of identifiers associated with the plurality of content objects from the content object server.

35 . The computer-implemented method of claim 28 , 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.

36 . Non-transitory physical computer storage comprising computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, are configured to implement a process comprising:
receiving a bundle request from a user system, the bundle request identifying an identifier of a plurality of identifiers, the plurality of identifiers being associated with a plurality of content objects, the identifier being associated with a first content object and a second content object; accessing a monitoring object bundle using the identifier identified by the bundle request, the monitoring object bundle comprising instructions that when executed by the user system cause the user system to transmit, to a computing system, interaction data indicative of user interactions with the first content object or the second content object; and transmitting the monitoring object bundle to the user system causing the user system to gather the interaction data and transmit the interaction data to the computing system.

37 . The non-transitory physical computer storage of claim 36 , wherein the process comprises generating the monitoring object bundle.

38 . The non-transitory physical computer storage of claim 37 , wherein generating the monitoring object bundle is performed in response to receiving the bundle request.

39 . The non-transitory physical computer storage of claim 37 , wherein the process comprises stori
