Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a mobile or computer reader application that obtains articles or other computer files from a central database and displays the articles to a user of the device. In addition to providing the articles to the reader application, an article providing system may also determine the quality or popularity of particular articles and provide the most popular articles to users of the system. In one embodiment, the system may receive one or more anonymous interaction metrics from one or more devices connected to the system. The anonymous interaction metrics may be associated with a particular article and provide some indication of a user's engagement with the article. The system utilizes these interaction metrics or measurements to set or adjust a score or ranking associated with the particular article. The score may then be utilized by the system to rank the article in relation to other articles available through the system to provide the most popular or highest ranked articles to users of the system.

Abstract translation: 本公开的方面涉及从中央数据库获取文章或其他计算机文件并将文章显示给设备的用户的移动或计算机阅读器应用。 除了将文章提供给读者应用之外，文章提供系统还可以确定特定文章的质量或流行度，并向系统的用户提供最受欢迎的文章。 在一个实施例中，系统可以从连接到系统的一个或多个设备接收一个或多个匿名交互度量。 匿名交互度量可以与特定文章相关联并且提供用户与文章的参与的一些指示。 系统利用这些交互指标或测量来设置或调整与特定物品相关联的得分或排名。 然后系统可以利用该分数来对文章进行排序，以便通过系统可获得的其他文章来为系统的用户提供最流行或最高排名的文章。
