Systems, devices, media, instructions, and methods are provided for presentation of media collections with automated advertising. In one embodiment, display time data associated for a first plurality of content elements and a first advertising element as displayed on a first device are used in adjusting a presentation order for a second content collection comprising a second plurality of content elements and at least a second advertising element, where a placement of the second advertising element within the presentation order is based on the display time data. In some embodiments, a ratio of advertising to content elements is targeted over time for a user based on user interactions with various content and advertising elements.

Methods and systems for handling online requests based on information known to a service provider. One method may comprise: obtaining first information, the first information relating to an online request made using a communication apparatus; using a logical identifier assigned to the communication apparatus to obtain second information, the second information pertaining to a profile associated with the logical identifier, comparing the first information to the second information; and performing an action related to handling of the online request based on a result of the comparing.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for receiving a notification of an ad space, the ad space being for presentation in a user interface of an application executing on a client device, sending, to the client device, instructions configured to be executed by the client device for determining view-ability data of the ad space, the view-ability data comprising whether the ad space is within a viewport of the user interface, receiving, from the client device, the view-ability data as determined by the instructions at a first time instance, calculating a predicted view-ability that the ad space is positioned within the viewport at a second time instance after the first time instance, and sending, to a plurality of bidders, a bid request for bidding on an auction of the ad space, the bid request comprising the predicted view-ability.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for controlling the timing of customer interactions (e.g., targeted product or service offerings to customers) in order to determine optimally efficient usage of a seller's available inventory are disclosed. A customer selection problem (CSP) may be formulated and solved to implement a customer selection policy for controlling the timing with which customers from a customer pool will be targeted with offerings. The customer selection policy may include dynamic optimization to account for intertemporal effects of customer decisions.

A method for the organizing, managing, mapping, distributing, transportation and displaying of multi-layered content and/or data in a tactile volumetric (three-dimensional), flat (two-dimensional) and/or multi-dimensional container and/or panel which functions as a macro controller through tactile, sensatory, audible and/or other forms of user control. This includes the means to manipulate content and/or data through a visual and/or multi-sensatory interface that stores content and media in a nested and sub-nested hierarchical container and sub-container array which can give real-time feedback to any involved party. These containers and/or panels provide a means to permanently move and validate content between servers, devices and/or users, while giving a real-time visual and/or multi-sensatory response and representation to that user. This system also provides a means to ingest and convert legacy media formats.

Systems and methods for selecting content based on an event associated with a device identifier are provided. One or more processors can receive a request to serve content. The processors can identify a device identifier associated with the request. The processors can determine, from the device identifier, an event for which to serve content. The processors can determine, from the request, a length of time between a time the request to serve content is received and a time at which the event is scheduled to occur. The processors can select, based on the determined length of time and event parameters associated with the event, content for display and provide the selected content for display at a computing device associated with the device identifier.

Advertisement systems and methods for distributing advertisements are provided. An advertising system according to one embodiment includes an advertisement server configured to manage the ordering and printing of advertisements at predetermined locations and at predetermined times. The advertising system also includes a plurality of printing devices operating at the predetermined locations, each printing device configured to print an advertisement on an item associated with a purchase. A network is configured to enable communication between the advertisement server and the plurality of printing devices. The printing devices are configured to print the advertisements according to the plurality of predetermined times based on when at least one advertiser intends for the advertisements to be printed. Other implementations of advertisement systems include three-dimensional printing or etching of advertisements and displaying advertisements on electronic devices. Advertising may also be based on weather conditions, traffic conditions, or other conditions.

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.

The present invention relates to a method of displaying an advertisement using a blockchain-based application. The application is stored or installed in a computing device of a user, and communicates with a blockchain framework via a communication network. The application includes a programming code that allows the user to search and select a preferred time slot out of the plurality of time slots. The plurality of time slots is provided in the smart contracts in the form of cryptocurrency. The blockchain framework further includes a server comprising a receiving unit that receives the input feed from the user, a calculation unit that calculates the cost of a selected time slot based on code assigned to the particular time slot, and a display unit for displaying the advertisement when the conditions of the smart contract are fulfilled.

Systems and methods for selecting content based on an event associated with a device identifier are provided. One or more processors can receive a request to serve content. The processors can identify a device identifier associated with the request. The processors can determine, from the device identifier, an event for which to serve content. The processors can determine, from the request, a length of time between a time the request to serve content is received and a time at which the event is scheduled to occur. The processors can select, based on the determined length of time and event parameters associated with the event, content for display and provide the selected content for display at a computing device associated with the device identifier.
