In an approach to improve enhancing advertising effectiveness in a virtual environment, embodiments identify placement context for an identified advertisement in a predetermined area in a virtual world based on received advertisements, visual data from a user, identified contextual data, and the identified objects in the predetermined area. Further, embodiments associate the advertisement and the placement context with a priming event or an object, wherein the object is an object associated with the advertisement, and select, for the user in the virtual world, a timing and position of the priming event or the object in a presentation window. Additionally, embodiments present, by a client computer through a user interface, the priming event or the object when the user is within the presentation window.

Method and system for generation of audio clip replicating the voice of a human speaker that may be dynamically inserted as an audio clip in digitally requested media files, such as podcasts, streams and broadcasts. Using a sample of speech from a previously-recorded audio file, a streaming audio source or a broadcast, a text-to-speech synthesis engine mimicking or cloning the voice present in the audio input is used to generate novel audio clip which is inserted in the requested media file.

A third party-directed mobile media system is provided with a chassis, configured for attachment to a mobile platform associated with a first entity. An included media subsystem may be a media projection subsystem or a publically accessible access point (or both). Examples of an access point include WLAN and WPAN devices. Examples of a media projection subsystem include an image projector, a retractable screen deployed over an exterior surface of the mobile platform, a media topper, a switchable glass display, or a wallscape. A location subsystem determines the geographic location of the mobile platform. A wireless communications subsystem has an interface to receive verification information including the mobile platform geographic location, and an interface to receive mobile platform geographic location destination instructions from a second entity. An autonomous driving application may be included, permitting the mobile platform to be autonomously driven to the selected mobile platform geographic location destination.

In certain aspects, the disclosed implementations include methods and systems for dynamically generating and providing transaction affinity recommendation data. In certain implementations, the transaction affinity recommendation data may include information that identifies a target merchant and associated merchant promotion data that may be generated based on a dynamic analysis of transaction data corresponding to an account record. The disclosed implementations may determine temporal relationships between pairs of sequential transactions corresponding to the account record, and based on such relationships, may identify pairs of transactions involving separate merchants. The disclosed implementations may determine affinity relationships associated with one or more pairs of the temporally related transactions and a target merchant, and based on such relationships, generate and provide the transaction affinity recommendation data.

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose an information display method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The information display method includes: displaying a live page; obtaining popularity information corresponding to the resource; and displaying the popularity information in an area which is associated with the first multimedia information on the live page.

A public exposure monitored media projection system is presented made up of a media projection subsystem that is configured for attachment to a mobile platform, and which may be selectively enabled. A monitoring subsystem measures public exposure to projected media and supplies exposure measurements. A communications subsystem accepts verification information including media projection subsystem enablement and the exposure measurements. A handicap subsystem offsets the media value associated with the enablement of the media projection subsystem, which is calculated in response to the exposure measurements. Typically, a rewards subsystem provides a reward to an entity (e.g., the media projection subsystem (MPS) owner) in response to the media value offset by the exposure measurement. The system may also include a publically accessible access point, a location subsystem, and a targeting subsystem for selecting a media projection subsystem target geographic location.

An interface mechanism in a system receives a service request for a service associated with an environment from an electronic device of an entity. In response to the service request, a control mechanism in the system identifies an environmental monitoring device within the environment, where the environmental monitoring device provides sensor data that represents an environmental condition in the environment, and the environmental monitoring device is associated with a second entity that is different from the entity and a third entity associated with the system. Moreover, the control mechanism provides, via the interface mechanism, a data request for the sensor data to the environmental monitoring device. Furthermore, in response to the data request, the interface mechanism receives the sensor data from the environmental monitoring device. Then, the control mechanism provides the service to the entity based on the environmental condition.
