Abstract

Push Reporting is disclosed. A first payload comprising feature reporting information and meta information is received from a first device at a first time. A second payload comprising feature reporting information and meta information is received from a second device at a second time. At respective third and fourth times, respective third and fourth payloads are received from the first and second devices, respectively. The third and fourth payloads include additional feature reporting information and meta information. The processing of the information received from the first and second devices is coordinated. A request for information is received. Metrics are provided as output. The metrics are based at least in part on the processing of the information received from the first and second devices.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the processing engine is further configured to increment counters associated with the extracted features.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processing engine is further configured to determine hard conversions corresponding to direct response open events of an application that occurred directly from the push notifications.

14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processing engine is further configured to determine soft conversions corresponding to influenced open events of an application that occurred in response to receiving instances of the push notification, but not directly from the push notifications.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein determining soft conversions includes estimating a baseline.

16. The system of claim 1 , wherein the interface is further configured to receive a selection of an audience segment.

coordinating processing of at least a portion of the information received from the first and second devices;

receiving a request for information indicating influence of the delivered push notifications; and

responsive to the request for information, providing metrics as output, wherein the metrics indicate influence of the delivered push notifications and include measures of user responses to received instances of the push notifications on the first and second devices, the metrics based at least in part on the processing of the information received from the first and second devices.

19. A computer program product embodied in a transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for: receiving, from a first device at a first time, a first payload comprising feature reporting information associated with a push notification delivered to the first device and meta information; receiving from a second device at a second time, a second payload comprising feature reporting information associated with the push notification delivered to the second device and meta information; coordinating processing of at least a portion of the information received from the first and second devices; receiving a request for information indicating influence of the delivered push notifications; and responsive to the request for information, providing metrics as output, wherein the metrics indicate influence of the delivered push notifications and include measures of user responses to received instances of the push notifications on the first and second devices, the metrics and are based at least in part on the processing of the information received from the first and second devices.

20. A system, comprising:
