Publication number: 20220078263Abstract: A computer-implemented method for controlling content distribution includes forwarding information associated with a user to a device operated by the user, the information being configured for use in selecting content from any of multiple content providers for a content distribution to the user. The method includes receiving, in response to the information, an edit of the information forwarded from the device. The edit identifies a first content provider and including a first modification of the content distribution regarding the first content provider. The method includes storing the edit in association with the information such that the first modification is taken into account in the content distribution. The method can be implemented using a computer program product tangibly embodied in a computer-readable storage medium.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2021Publication date: March 10, 2022Inventors: Aitan Weinberg, Rajas Moonka, Brad H. Bender, Brian Axe, Oren E. Zamir, Gregor Hochmuth

Patent number: 8423410Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for generating user identifier profiles. A user identifier profile characterizes a user based on events that occurred during past user sessions for a user (e.g., past online activities). An event is an action that occurs during a user session, such as a web page view, an advertisement click-through, and a conversion. A user identifier profile can be used, for example, to select advertisements targeted to the user. A user identifier profile includes information about inferred user interests and inferred user demographics.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2011Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Xuefu Wang, Sarah Sirajuddin, Oren E.
