  • Patent number: 9449330
    Abstract: Game mechanics may be incorporated into a web site, mobile site, and/or app using an automated access, self-serve platform. A user interface may be generated based on input provided by or on behalf of a publisher of a site and/or app. The user interface may be configured to be incorporated with the site and/or app. An economy governing game mechanics associated with the user interface may be defined. The user interface may be provided for integration with the site and/or app. Integration of the user interface with the site and/or app may provide the game mechanics to the site and/or app. In some implementations, generating the user interface may include generating, at a gamification server, a widget configured to provide the user interface, the site and/or app being provided by a site server, the gamification server being separate and distinct from the site server.

  • Publication number: 20080010153
    Abstract: A system for providing digital content to users under an advertising and revenue sharing basis. The system may provide music to users via the Internet, in combination with time-shifted advertisements presented by an application that resides on the user's computer. The system receives digital advertisements from advertisers and digital content from content providers. Advertisers provide compensation based on the presentation of their advertisements to users. Content providers receive a variable amount of compensation based on how many users access the digital content during a particular time period. Each content provider may receive a share of the advertising revenue that is generated by each user that accesses content during a particular time period.
