Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for context-based content injection into content stream. An apparatus includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to determine a current context of a user, the current context of the user comprising one or more current environmental circumstances associated with the user, determine content to present to the user that is relevant to the user's current context, and dynamically inject the determined content into a current content stream that the user is consuming.

In certain aspects, the disclosed implementations include methods and systems for dynamically generating and determining transaction affinity relationship information associated with a set of merchants involved in a set of transactions. In certain implementations, the transaction affinity relationship information may reflect affinity relationships between merchant chains in a merchant affinity network. The disclosed implementations may receive an adjustment to an affinity relationship associated with a merchant chain, and based on the adjustment, predicts one or more changes to affinity relationships associated with other merchant chains in the merchant affinity network.

A system and methods for facilitating transactions relating to slots in a content promoter's performance. The system allows content promoters to publish available slots in their performances and receive submissions from artists requesting their content be presented in those slots. The system facilitates transactions between promoters and artists using an escrow and “proof of play” system. The escrow system charges an artist in advance for content submitted to be presented, but holds payment of those charges until after the promoter has presented the content and proof of play has been confirmed. Proof of play may be directly confirmed by the artist, may be confirmed by the system, or may be provided to the artist in an audiovisual recording made by the promoter. The escrow and proof of play system helps protect promoters and artists against potential default by either party to the transaction.

Aspects discussed herein may relate to methods and techniques for automatically generating a test drive schedule for a user based on known inventory, user preferences, demographic information, employee availability, and other factors, as well as detecting conflicts and rescheduling test drives in response to those conflicts. This may allow for easier access to test drives for the consumer, which may promote more test drives and higher resultant sales, as well as allowing for rescheduling in advance of conflicts, which may reduce lost consumers due to test drives that were conflicted.

Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in a content system supported by or configured with personal computing devices, servers and/or platforms. The systems interact to identify and retrieve data across platforms, which data can be used to improve the quality of data used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The disclosed systems and methods determine breaking or trending news stories from social media activity, which are then communicated to users via personalized delivery. Thus, the disclosed systems and methods leverage social data, expert knowledge and/or user feedback, which are all available on-line, to determine breaking news stories, which are then delivered to users in a personalized manner specific to each user.

Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The methods include, for instance: automatically selecting an optimal marketing collateral for a location in a venue based on a group of a patron and a relationship of the group and notifying the patron with the optimal marketing collateral such that the patron may utilize the optimal marketing collateral.

A computerized system is provided for generating a visual presentation for visually organizing one or more activities of a user, including consumers & vendors. The systems are directed to teaming up, calendaring, social networking, planning, E-COMMERCE for users, including vendors, consumers and enterprises.

An online system promotes physical store visits by presenting users with content items for a physical store location and subsequently logs visits of online system users to the physical store location to track performance of a campaign associated with the presented content item. The online system registers attention events associated with the presented content items presented to users on third party publishing sites via tracking pixels and registers attention events as store front visit conversion events if, within a predetermined period of time from a valid attention event, a user has subsequently gone in and visited the physical store front location.

A system for automatically displaying output information on a display surface based on activities in a target environment includes an image capturing device for capturing data of the target environment in real-time, a processing unit for processing the data to determine a location for displaying the output information, and determine a content of the output information, and a video output unit for displaying the output information on the display surface. The video output unit is configured to rotate in a 360° manner, and wherein an angle of rotation of the video output unit is controlled by the processing unit. The image capturing device further captures the output information displayed on the display surface in real time, and provides feedback data to the processing unit in real-time, so as to enable the processing unit to control a focus, a direction, and the output information displayed on the video output unit.

Methods and systems providing digital signage and interactive gaming services in compliance with federal and state laws and regulations are described. A service fee is collected from a retailer, and a service fee may or may not be collected from a retailer (e.g., a bar). An advertising fee is collected from a first advertising provider. The first advertising provider is involved in alcohol distribution/wholesaling or manufacturing. A second advertising fee from a second advertising provider is collected. The second advertising provider is involved in a non-alcohol related industry. A portion of a subscription fee is collected based on a separate source of fees (e.g., text message or jukebox fee) received from a patron. The message may contain information indicating that the patron wishes to pay a service fee. Revenue sharing is implemented by distributing a portion of the service fee to the retailer and distributing a portion of the advertising fee from the second advertising provider to the retailer in compliance with federal and state laws.
