Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Computer-implemented systems and methods are described for eliminating duplicate events. In accordance with some implementations, a computer-implemented system is provided which includes a computer-readable storage medium that stores program code and a processor that executes the program code. The operations performed by the processor may include capturing an event comprising a user interaction with an article stored in association with a client device and determining a level of similarity between the event and a stored event. The operations performed by the processor may also include determining if the event is a duplicate of the stored event based at least in part on the level of similarity between the event and the stored event and indexing the event on the client device dependent on the determination of whether or not the event is a duplicate of the stored event.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

That which is claimed: 1. A computer-implemented system, comprising: a processor for executing program code; and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program code executable to perform steps comprising: capturing an event comprising a user interaction with an article stored in association with a client device; determining an amount of elapsed time between the event and a stored event, wherein the amount of elapsed time is greater than zero; determining…
