APPARATUSES, METHODS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR MULTI-STEP INSTALLED APPLICATION PROGRAM SNAPSHOT PROCESSING

Abstract:

Embodiments are provided that improve data processing and determinations therefrom utilizing multiple steps of processing installed application program snapshots. Such embodiments improve actions and/or determinations derived from changes between the installed application program snapshots. Some example embodiments generate an application program characteristic set for each application program of a first installed application program set, generate a profile category set based at least in part on the application program characteristic set, retrieve an updated installed application list indicating a second installed application program set, determine at least one uninstalled application based on a comparison of the first installed application program set and the second installed application program set, generate a second application program characteristic set associated with the at least one uninstalled application, and update the profile category set based on the second application program characteristic set associated with the at least one uninstalled application.
