This disclosure describes a system for presenting items to a user at a presentation area within a materials handling facility. In some instances, a predicted items list that identifies items that are likely to be picked by a user are determined and, when the user arrives at the materials handling facility, those predicted items are presented to the user for selection. For example, predicted items may be determined and inventory holders that contain the predicted items may be routed to a presentation area and positioned for presentation to the user. The user may browse the presented items and pick the items they desire.

An advertisement delivery apparatus according to the present application includes a receiving unit, a classifying unit, and a determining unit. The receiving unit receives a delivery request for a plurality of advertisements to be delivered to a terminal device. The classifying unit classifies the advertisements for which the delivery request is received by the receiving unit into a plurality of groups, based on a predetermined condition. The determining unit determines the advertisements to be delivered, for each of the groups classified by the classifying unit.

Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and apparatuses that can provide, for example, dynamic page feed recognition for providing zero-configuration analysis of web pages and tailored advertisement provision to website visitors. The systems, methods, and apparatuses can be used to analyze inventory feed. Based on analysis of user interaction data on the web pages, one or more matching methodologies can be used to determine matching data between the visited web pages and the inventory feed.

A method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for facilitating communication between a merchant and a client are provided. An example method may include creating a beautician identification record for a beautician, receiving an information related to an interaction between the beautician and a client, determining at least one product or service for the client from the information, and creating, using a processor, a communication to the client. The communication may include an indication of the at least one product or service. The method may also include sending the prescription to the client. Example systems, apparatuses, and computer readable media are also provided.

There is disclosed a computer-implemented method of generating a content recommendation for a user of an electronic device, the method executable by a recommendation, the content recommendation being associated with a content item available at one of a plurality of network resources accessible via the communication network. The method comprises: executing a first machine learning algorithm module in order to determine a sub-set of recommended content sources from a plurality of possible content sources that is based on at least some of a first sub-set of user-specific content sources and a generated second sub-set of user-non-specific content sources; analyzing the sub-set of recommended content sources to select a plurality of potentially-recommendable content items; executing a second machine learning algorithm module in order to select, from the plurality of potentially-recommendable content items, at least one recommended content item; the selection being made on the basis of a user-profile-vector.

Systems and methods are provided for dynamically engaging a user with media, and providing the user with supplemental information about products or services appearing in or associated with the media. In one embodiment of the invention, sample media data is received from a media source, such as live TV or a television or radio commercial, the sample media is identified by comparing the sample media to previously identified media stored in a database, and supplemental media information, such as product placement information, is provided to the user via a network.

Systems and methods are described for providing an enhanced rebate and marketing program which may automatically enroll a consumer in a loyalty programs after the consumer completes rebate form; filter consumer information to provide to customer relationship management campaigns; capture real-time consumer responses to queries; provide real-time and dynamic, targeted offers and other communications to consumers and recipients; and provide bonus added value to consumer received rebates.

Provided are methods and systems for, in one aspect, managing content delivered to one or more devices. Methods may comprise receiving a first identifier associated with a user of content. The content may comprise one or more advertisement or placement opportunities. A second identifier may be determined based at least on the first identifier. The second identifier may be a perishable identifier configured to expire based on an event. The second identifier may be transmitted to an entity associated with an advertisement inventory, wherein the second identifier facilitates the targeted placement of one or more advertisements from the advertisement inventory without exposing the first identifier to the entity.

A method for maintaining user privacy in advertisement networks may include receiving first persona data associated with a first user from at least one publisher system. The first persona data may be generalized to form first generalized persona data. A session key may be generated. The first generalized persona data and the session key may be encrypted with a first public key of an advertisement network system to form a first ciphertext. The first ciphertext and first user identity data may be communicated to a mediator system. The first user identity data may be associated with first user's identity. A first encrypted targeted advertisement may be received based on the first generalized persona data from the advertisement network system via the mediator system. The first encrypted targeted advertisement may be decrypted with the session key to form a first targeted advertisement. A system and computer program product are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to a system for mediating personal data of a user, and it is an object of the present invention to provide the personal data mediation system which allows information to be more reasonably mediated.
