A method and system for crediting a reward to an electronic wallet account, wherein an electronic wallet account is pre-established for a user who has a pre-authorized electronic device with an electronic wallet application module, a reward application module and an image processing application module. A table of identifiers associated with a reward is pre-established, and the identifier is encoded in an image to be shown on a product. A registration of the user as a participant in a campaign is pre-established. Identifier information contained in an image captured by the electronic device is received, and it is determined whether the identifier information is in the table of identifiers. The reward associated with the user's electronic wallet account is credited, the identifier is removed from the table of identifiers, and notification of the crediting of the reward is provided.

A facility for constructing an advertising message in connection with a web page is described. The facility obtains text associated with the web page, and uses the obtained text to generate a query. The facility uses the generated query to select a stock photography image, and generates an advertising message that incorporates the selected stock photography image.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products for adaptively generating an initial electronic bid value for a new digital content object.

Various media or other related information may be provided during a call between a calling device and a called device. One example method of operation may include initiating a call via an origination device to a recipient device, transmitting a call notification to an enhanced information server responsive to initiating the call, retrieving enhanced information associated with the intended recipient device and/or the origination device, transmitting the enhanced information to the intended recipient device and/or the origination device, and connecting the call between the origination device and the intended recipient device.

Devices and methods are provided for using an interactive wrapper for media content. A method may include identifying, by a first device, a software container including a call to action. The method may include identifying non-interactive advertising content. The method may include generating an interactive advertisement by adding the advertising content to the software container, and sending the interactive advertisement to a second device for presentation. The method may include receiving an indication of a user interaction with the interactive advertisement, and determining, based on the user interaction, an action. The method may include sending data associated with the action to the second device or a third device for presentation.

Systems and methods for multi-signal fault analysis are described. The system receives signal message information, over a network, from a collection device comprised of a plurality of mobile devices including a first mobile device and a second mobile device that are associated with a first user. The first signal message information includes a first maintenance message including characterization information that was received by the first mobile device from a component that includes a sensor that operates to sense a first part that is assembled into a vehicle. The second signal message information includes signal information that was received by the second mobile device including an audio signal that a microphone in the second mobile device sensed. The system analyzes the multi-signal information to diagnose a problem and communicate a message to the first user with a diagnosis of the problem.

A method of, and system for, presenting a product to an audience. The method includes the steps of: obtaining a lightbox assembly having a volume in which at least a part of the product to be presented can be placed; placing the at least part of the product in the volume of the lightbox with the lightbox at a first location; illuminating the at least part of the product in the volume of the lightbox; and continuously transmitting images of the at least part of the product illuminated in the volume of the lightbox through a wired or wireless network that are viewed by at least a first user at a second location.

Recorded broadcast programs, including advertisements, are selected for playback responsive to user input. The user input may include pressing a button multiple times to cause recorded programs to be scanned through for a particular preset channel from newest recorded to oldest recorded. Pressing another button multiple times causes the recorded programs to be scanned through for the particular present channel from oldest recorded to newest recorded.

Pressing another button multiple times causes the recorded programs to be scanned through for the particular present channel from oldest recorded to newest recorded.

The exemplary embodiments relate to implementing a mechanism that is configured to select and insert a video advertisement into a video stream that is to be provided to a user device by a streaming service. This may include receiving a request for a video stream from a user device. In response to the request, transmitting a first portion of the video stream to the user device and determining that second a portion of the video stream is to include multiple video advertisements. One or more video advertisements may be selected from a database that includes a set of video advertisements that were previously removed from a further video stream. The one or more video advertisements may then be inserted into the video stream. The second portion of the video stream is then transmitted to the user device.
