Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes, by one or more server computing devices, receiving state data of a client computing device. The state data includes event data indicating events generated by or occurring at the client computing device and context data associated with the event data. The context data indicates device states of the client computing device that each coincide with one or more of the events and indicate a context of the one or more of the events. The method also includes, by one or more server computing devices, ordering the events and the device states in the event and context data into a state-data-review structure and analyzing the state-data-review structure to generate one or more recommendations on operation of the client computing device.
