  • Patent number: 9846890
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20150348094
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and programming for advertisement conversion measurement. In one example, a request of serving an advertisement is received. The advertisement is provided to a user on a mobile device. A first identifier is generated based, at least in part, on an attribute related to the mobile device. Information related to a plurality of online activities that are associated with the advertisement is received. Each of the plurality of online activities is performed on a mobile device. A second identifier for each of the plurality of online activities is generated based, at least in part, on the attribute related to the corresponding mobile device. At least one online activity from the plurality of online activities is identified by matching the corresponding second identifier with the first identifier. A measure of serving the advertisement is determined based on the identified at least one online activity.

  • Publication number: 20150348096
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and programming for associating discrete user activities on mobile devices. In one example, first information related to a first online activity associated with a first user performed on a first mobile device is received. The first online activity relates to an exposure of an advertisement. A first identifier is generated for the first online activity based on an attribute related to the first mobile device. Second information related to a second online activity associated with a second user performed on a second mobile device is received. The second online activity relates to an event associated with the advertisement. A second identifier is generated for the second online activity based on the attribute related to the second mobile device. A connection between the first and second online activities associated with the advertisement is identified and recorded based on the first identifier and the second identifier.
