The patent application (Publication Number: US20240029099A1) describes a method and system for identifying and managing bot accounts on a network site. The method involves accessing performance metrics of a network site user, determining a quality score based on these metrics to identify potential bot accounts, modifying the account settings of the identified user, and displaying a warning message on the graphical user interface to indicate the likelihood of the user being a bot. The warning message can also include actions like suspending or banning the user from the network site.

Furthermore, the system described in the patent application includes a processor and memory that execute instructions to access performance metrics, determine quality scores, modify account settings, and display warning messages on the graphical interface. The warning messages are designed to indicate the likelihood of a user being a bot based on predefined thresholds. Additionally, the system can generate performance metrics by analyzing the interaction history of the user on the network site and take actions like suspending or banning the user post displaying the warning message. This technology aims to enhance the security and user experience on network sites by effectively identifying and managing bot accounts.
