This application relates to apparatus and methods for automatically determining and providing item advertisements, such as for display on a website. In some examples, a computing device obtains a prioritized list of item advertisements for each of a plurality of item categories. The computing device also obtains an item category for each of a plurality of positions of a display interface. Each item category may correspond to one or more of the plurality of item categories. Further, the computing device determines, for each position of the plurality of positions of the display interface, an item advertisement based on the item category for the position and the prioritized list of item advertisements. The computing device generates display interface position data identifying the item advertisement determined for each position of the plurality of positions of the display interface. The computing device transmits the display interface position data to a web server.

Systems and methods are provided herein for displaying recommendations that are temporally relevant to activities of a user and are contextually relevant to a portion of viewed media. This may be accomplished by a media guidance application identifying activities a user has planned, as well as respective times for which each of the plurality of activities was planned to be performed by the user. The media guidance application may filter the activities by determining which of the first plurality of activities has a corresponding respective time that is within a threshold period of time. The media guidance application may then identify characteristics of each filtered activity and of a media asset that the user is consuming at the present moment, and may compute whether the characteristics match. If the characteristics match, the media guidance application may generate for display a recommendation relating to the respective activity.

Methods, systems and apparatus, including computer program products are described for providing temporally relevant targeted content items. A set of user data is used to determine current user interests as indicated by one or more recent events. Content items relevant to those events are identified and ranked based on a time that the corresponding event occurred. One or more of the top ranked content items can be delivered to a user.

A mobile media projector system is provided with a chassis, configured for attachment to a mobile platform, having a screen deployment mechanism. A viewing screen is selectively deployable when the mobile platform is parked in a stationary geographic location. An imaging projector subsystem projects an image onto the deployed viewing screen. Typically, the chassis is configured for attachment to an automotive vehicle with a roof, and the viewing screen is deployed over an exterior surface of the automotive vehicle. The system may include a WLAN and/or WPAN access point. A targeting application may select the geographic location from a group of stationary geographic locations, each having a weighted value. A second mobile media projector system includes a chassis configured for attachment to a roof of an automobile having a side mirror. An image projected onto the side mirror is reflected onto a surface such as the automobile door.

The information processing device includes an information acquisition means, an estimation means and a messaging means. The information acquisition means acquires information related to a target animal. The estimation means estimates an event related to the target animal based on the acquired information. The messaging means transmits message information based on at least one of the event and relevance when the estimated event related to the target animal has the relevance.

Content relevant to an operator of a music player may be identified using contextual information from music and music player environmental factors. Identification information for a song and music player identification information, environmental information, and listener information may be received. A song may be matched with information in a song categorization database so that one or more categories associated with the song are identified. A listener profile may be matched using a listener knowledge database to identify one or more categories associated with the listener. Content may be selected by matching the one or more song categories with categories in a campaign database and by matching the one or more listener categories with categories in the campaign database. Content includes, but is not limited to, advertising, trivia, referential information, weather, stock market prices, traffic information, news information, social media information, etc. The selected content is sent to the music player.

A method for publishing advertising information comprising the following steps: (a) capturing an image; (b) deleting data which may result in a person and/or a vehicle; (c) deleting the image captured in step (a); (d) analysing the image produced in step (b); (e) deleting the image generated in step (b); (f) acquiring GNSS data and sensor data; (g) determining where in option A) the data remains unchanged, or in option B) the image is replaced by a random image from the land vehicle database after the capturing process in step a), and the captured image is deleted or the information obtained in step f) is replaced by a random image from the land vehicle database; (h) analysing the data obtained in step (d) and/or the data obtained in step (f); (i) selecting information based on the analysis (h) using predefined parameters in a database; (j) publishing the selected information.

An aircraft media projection system is provided with a deployment subsystem having an interface to supply an enablement signal with an identification code, in response to an aircraft maintaining a selected midair position in the atmosphere above the ground. A location subsystem determines the midair geographic location of the aircraft, and a communications subsystem, typically a cellular link, has an interface to receive verification information including the enablement signal, identification code, and geographic location, and an interface to transmit the verification information to a server. In one aspect, the system may include a WiFi hotspot that is available for use by the public at large. A targeting software application permits the selection of the midair position from a plurality of potential midair positions. Each potential midair stationary position may have a corresponding weighted value. In another aspect, the system may include a media projection subsystem to selectively project media.

A computing device can receive a geolocation from a client device. The geolocation can correspond to a location of the client device. The computing device can identify an event within a predetermined distance from the geolocation. The computing device can send a list of events comprising the event to the client device. The computing device can determine a promotion associated with the event and at least one condition associated with the promotion. The computing device can determine that the client device satisfies the at least one condition associated with the promotion. The computing device can transfer an award for the promotion to a user account corresponding to the client device in response to determining that the client device satisfies the at least one condition.

A system and method for dynamically tracking and capturing content and displaying the content on public or semi-public non-personal digital displays. In exemplary embodiments, the content may include an urgent notification that is displayed within a slot of looped content with the manner in which the urgent notification is displayed depending on the level of urgency and attributes of the non-personal digital displays.
