Disclosed herein are systems and techniques for using a content delivery network to perform various functions within a digital advertising ecosystem, in ways that yield technological benefits such as improved security, efficiency, and speed (for example, reduction in publisher load times). As one specific example, a content delivery network can be used for the creation of electronic tokens for user identity protection between demand side platforms, supply side platforms, content creators (for example, advertisers), and publishers.

The invention relates to means for advertising and informing. The technical result is to expand the functional capabilities of a method and a system for advertising and informing, to raise the effectiveness of same and to expand the existing range of advertising methods. A method of adaptive advertising and informing consists in arranging a peripheral processor in a bag/backpack, equipping the bag/backpack with a video camera and a screen/display which are connected to the peripheral processor and are aimed outward so that an image of people entering the field of view of the video camera can be read with the aid of said video camera, and allowing the visualisation of photo and/or video material on the screen/display according to display criteria set by the user, the continuous monitoring for compliance with said display criteria, the termination of display if one or all of the display criteria are not met, and the generation of a post-display report to allow subsequent processing and analysis of the corresponding data.

Disclosed embodiments relate to conversational persuasion systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums that are aimed to provide pertinent product recommendations and mimic the benefits of in-person interactions via an online assistance platform. The disclosed embodiments leverage the data processing power of computing devices while still providing customers with a productive online conversation that provides responses to customers based on historical and current information. The disclosed embodiments analyze the information using a model that applies one or more weights to the information and selects responses to present to the customer. The responses provided increase the likelihood of a customer purchase or another customer event.

Techniques are provided for generating a content sequence of campaigns for providing users with content items. A first campaign of the content sequence is generated to include a first content item to display to a first audience of users. A second campaign of the content sequence is generated to include a second content item to display to a second audience of users that viewed the first content item. A third campaign of the content sequence is generated to include a third audience of users that interacted with the second content item. In this way, the content sequence is implemented to serve content items to users.

An apparatus, system, and methods for displaying information and advertisements in public or private venues including a body portion adapted to a seat structure or other seat supported apparatus, either as a base unit or a retrofit apparatus, wherein the seat structure or seating apparatus may provide the structure and housing for electronics necessary to power and control an electronic display that may be disposed on an adjustable modular bracket system that may be attached to a seat, a seat back, a cupholder, a cupholder attachment apparatus, a portable or mobile device attachment apparatus, which may be accessible, visible, and/or useable by a patron at a public venue.

A system and method for delivering a message to a user makes use of a voice applications agent that is located, at least in part, on the user's local device, the voice applications agent being configured to perform a voice application in order to deliver the message to the user. The voice application comprises a set of instructions about how to interact with the user. Performing the voice application on the user's local device comprises the voice applications agent following the set of instructions that comprise the voice application in order to interact with the user.

Embodiments are directed towards employing multiple profiles to track identification of users across multiple domains. Multiple application-domain profiles and multiple web-domain profiles may each include a statistical identifier. A profile enrichment store may be generated from the application-domain profiles and web-domain profiles, where each entry in the profile enrichment store may be based on statistical identifiers. The profile enrichment store may be utilized to determine categories associated with a statistical identifier for a request from a client device. A targeted advertisement may be determined based on the determined category and may be provided to the client device. A client caching identifier may be used in a mobile web domain, in combination with the statistical identifier, to track mobile web users. If a request is associated with a profile that includes an affirmative opt-out flag, categories in the profile enrichment store for a corresponding statistical identifier may be cleaned up.

Systems and methods are disclosed for determining segments of online users from a correlated dataset. One method includes receiving, over a network, a plurality of datasets including user-related data of a plurality of users, each dataset being transmitted from a data owner; correlating, by at least one processor, the plurality of datasets into a correlated dataset; receiving a segmentation request for determining a plurality of users that qualify for a segment, the segmentation request including a set of segment rules to apply to the correlated dataset; determining, by accessing the correlated dataset, whether each user of the plurality of users qualifies for the segment based on the segment rule; and storing an indication of the segment in the correlated dataset for each user determined to qualify for the segment.

Methods, apparatus, and computer program products are disclosed for providing an impression to a consumer based on consumer preferences for future promotions. The methods include accessing consumer preferences for future promotions that specify at least one promotion request relating to a provider or a promotion category, and one or more promotion qualities, analyzing a plurality of promotions to identify those that satisfy the consumer preferences, and providing an impression to the consumer indicating the availability of the identified promotions. In embodiments, the methods can be used to identify promotions that are combinable with additional promotions offered by the same provider. Corresponding apparatus and computer program products are also provided.

Disclosed are systems and methods for monitoring and policing online advertisements. Content of a website is evaluated and assigned a score. The content evaluated may be either first-party content or third-party content or both. If the score fails predetermined criteria, a report is generated. Synthetic user profiles can be generated using a browser (or other software) to visit a number of predetermined or pseudo-random sites and accumulate user-specific data as it visits each of the sites. The browser stores off the accumulated user-specific data in conjunction with a synthetic user profile.
