Disclosed is an information providing method of an electronic apparatus. The information providing method may include identifying a category selected by a user from among a plurality of categories, identifying a brand selected as a brand of interest by the user from among one or more brands in the category, and displaying products satisfying a certain condition among a plurality of products corresponding to the brand of interest in a partial area of a screen.

A system and method of displaying advertising content includes transmitting data associated with a vehicle to a data center. An advertisement is generated based on the transmitted data. The advertisement is transmitted to the vehicle. An evaluation period is determined during which the advertisement is prevented from being displayed. The advertisement is displayed on a display of an in-vehicle infotainment system following the evaluation period.

A notification of a selection of a code displayed by a user computing device is received at a transaction processing server. One or more user identifiers associated with the user computing device are determined. Each user identifier identifies a user account at an online system and is determined based on a session with the online system active on the user computing device. Using the determined user identifiers, a user account including a mobile device identifier and user financial information is accessed. A request for user input is sent to a mobile device identified by the mobile device identifier. The request for user input includes a request for completion of a physical act on the mobile device by the user. Responsive to receiving an indication that the physical act was provided at the mobile device, the financial information is transmitted to a merchant server for conducting a financial transaction.

Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to tiered immersive experiences for bimodal avatar groups. According to one aspect disclosed herein, a virtual assistant (“VA”) can be executed by a user device. The VA can obtain a preference for an immersive experience. The VA can generate a search request directed to an immersive experience marketplace. The search request can include the preference and a tier desired for the immersive experience. The user device can send the search request to the immersive experience marketplace, and in response, the user device can receive a search result that identifies at least one match for the immersive experience based, at least in part, upon the preference and the tier.

A method and a system include receiving an alert enrollment request based on a user selection from a mobile device of a user, the mobile device corresponding to a communication endpoint identifier; generating a user interface element that corresponds to a confirmation of an option to initiating a communication channel; in response to receiving an indication of the confirmation, initiating the communication channel via the mobile device; and transmitting an invitation of a survey communication through the communication channel, the survey communication including an identity verification request associated with a selected phrase to be repeated by the user.

In at least one embodiment, a profile/content system generates, accesses, and/or serves a compilation profile for targeting content to identifiable communication devices (“ICDs”). The compilation profile can include data associated with a user of an ICD, and the profile/content system obtains the data from multiple data sources. The data sources can include a particular ICD and can also include particular applications running on the ICD and other data sources such as web sites and data aggregators that store data associated with the IDC user. The profile/content system can operate in a variety of modes depending upon a type of request received by the profile/content system. Exemplary modes are: (1) a direct content provision mode, (2) an indirect content provision mode, and (3) a compilation profile provision mode. In at least one embodiment, in the direct content provision mode, the profile/content system receives a request for content directly via an ICD.

A method, apparatus, and computer program product are disclosed to improve generation of electronic communications. The method may provide a plurality of content slots each configured to receive content, the content comprising at least one of promotion content or non-promotion content. The method may also include maintaining a database comprising a plurality of promotion content generators and non-promotion content generators, and determining, using a processor, one of the plurality of promotion content generators or non-promotion content generators for respectively supplying corresponding promotion content or non-promotion content to each of the plurality of content slots. The determining the one of the plurality of promotion content generators or non-promotion content generators may include determining selection parameters, and scoring the plurality of promotion content generators and non-promotion content generators based at least in part on the selection parameters.

Opt-out systems and methods for tailored advertising are disclosed herein. An example method includes registering an endpoint with a service provider hosting an opt-out service that allows users to opt-out of tailored advertising from the endpoint, receiving a first request from a user including an email address, generating a hashed representation of the email address according to a hashing algorithm selected for the endpoint, transmitting a second request to the endpoint, the second request including the hashed representation of the email address, and receiving an acknowledgment that the endpoint has processed the second request. When the second request is processed the user does not receive the tailored advertising from the endpoint.

An application on a user device sends a request for promotional material to a server while the application is active on a user device. The application receives the promotional material from the server and stores the promotional material in a data store on the user device. A management client on the user device receives a user interaction with the promotional material and sends data representing the user interaction to the server independent of web-browser technology.

In certain aspects, a media content management and deployment system is provided. A data store stores content metadata associated with media content items and specifying a target demographic of each of the media content items. A demographic information server obtains first demographic data specifying a first demographic in a first timeslot at a location of a first signage device, predicts a second demographic in a second timeslot at the location based on the first demographic data, wherein the second timeslot is subsequent to the first timeslot, and generates second demographic data specifying the second demographic. When a deployment module obtains the second demographic data, the deployment module compares the content metadata with the second demographic data, selects a media content item from the plurality of media content items based on the comparison, and sends a media item identification identifying the selected media content to the first signage device.
