AUTOMATED DECISIONING SYSTEM FOR ACCEPTABILITY OF USER PRIVACY NOTICES AND CONTROLS ON A USER INTERFACE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240346104 titled 'AUTOMATED DECISIONING SYSTEM FOR ACCEPTABILITY OF USER PRIVACY NOTICES AND CONTROLS ON A USER INTERFACE
The abstract of the patent application describes a system that determines whether a web resource complies with a policy for displaying an informational notice by analyzing the document object model (DOM) representation of the web resource. The system traverses the DOM representation to identify the presence of the informational notice and assesses the visibility of the content element containing the notice based on visual parameters and a visibility metric.
- The system analyzes the DOM representation of a web resource to check for compliance with a policy for displaying an informational notice.
- It calculates the likelihood that a content element corresponds to the informational notice based on associated keywords.
- The system determines the visual parameters of the content element and evaluates the visibility metric to decide if the web resource displays the content element.
- An indication is generated to confirm the presence of the informational notice in the web resource based on the visibility metric.
Potential Applications: - Content compliance monitoring for websites - Automated policy enforcement for displaying informational notices
Problems Solved: - Ensuring web resources display required informational notices - Streamlining compliance checks for website content
Benefits: - Improved adherence to display policies - Efficient monitoring and enforcement of informational notices on websites
Commercial Applications: Title: Automated Compliance Monitoring System for Web Content This technology can be used by digital marketing agencies, regulatory bodies, and website owners to ensure compliance with display policies and regulations. It can streamline content monitoring processes and enhance the visibility of informational notices on websites.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system calculate the likelihood that a content element corresponds to the informational notice? 2. What are the key visual parameters used to determine the visibility of the content element?
Original Abstract Submitted
to determine whether a web resource complies with a policy for displaying an informational notice, a system obtaining a document object model (dom) representation of the web resource, the dom representation specifying a hierarchy of pages and including instructions for displaying content elements. the system traverses the dom representation of the web resource to determine whether the web resource includes the informational notice, including calculating a likelihood that a content element corresponds to the informational notice based on one or more keywords associated with the informational notice. in response to determining that the content element corresponds to the informational notice, the system determines a set of visual parameters of the content element, and determines whether the web resource is configured to display the content element according to a visibility metric. the system further generates an indication of whether the web resource contains the informational notice according to the visibility metric.
