Collection and processing method for information as to viewing of videos by user and device and server using the same

Abstract

A collection method for information as to a user viewing videos can be executed in a device. The device comprises at least a decoder and at least one video application providing video content. The decoder decodes video contents. The device monitors pages of the video application and configures a table of browsing record for each of the pages. When it is monitored that a target page of the video application is opened and that the decoder is running, the device collects viewing information associated with the video content and records the viewing information in a table of target browsing record. On termination of the target page of the video application, the device transmits the table of target browsing record to a server. A processing method for viewing information, a device, and a server are also disclosed.
