Using a router based web meter in a mixed mode configuration

摘要

A method for associating a web event with a member of a group of users is implemented at a first computing device, the method including: receiving a data access request from a second computing device; examining the data access request to determine whether the second computing device provides a user login service; if the second computing device provides the user login service: causing the second computing device to collect personal information and authorization from the user of the second computing device using the user login service; receiving the user's personal information and authorization from the second computing device; and associating the data access request with the user's personal information in accordance with the user's authorization; and otherwise, associating the data access request with an identifier of the second computing device.

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
at a router having memory and one or more processors:
receiving a data access request from a first computing device, wherein the data access request includes a first identifier of the first computing device and the data access request is generated by a user of the first computing device for accessing data service at a remote server;using the first identifier to look up a first device record in a device table stored at the router, wherein the first device record corresponds to the first computing device;examining the first device record to determine whether the first computing device provides a user login service through which the user can authorize the router to associate the data access request with the user of the first computing device;when the first computing device provides the user login service:
causing the first computing device to collect personal information and authorization from the user of the first computing device using the user login service;receiving the user's personal information and authorization from the first computing device; andassociating the data access request with the user's personal information in accordance with the user's authorization; andwhen the first computing device does not provide the user login service:
associating the data access request with the first identifier.
