  • Patent number: 11921800
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides novel techniques to segment mobile entities based on signals from mobile devices associated with these mobile entities. In certain embodiments, a data file is built for each mobile entity to transform originally extremely high dimensional raw data derived from mobile devices communicating with a network into structured data characterizing associated mobile entities. The data files are structured for filtering and searching with respect to features associated with the signals from mobile devices, including location and non-location features. The data files are used to determine feature gains corresponding respectively to features related to a mobile segment. The features include first features of a first type and second features of a second type. The feature gains are used, among other things, to rank mobile entities for the mobile segment, with feature gains corresponding to the first features given a larger weight than feature gains corresponding to the second features.

  • Publication number: 20230351348
    Abstract: A method may include determining a combination of values of attributes represented by reference data associated with payment transaction by training a machine learning model based on an association between (i) respective values of the attributes and (ii) the payment transactions having a given result. The combination may be correlated with having the given result. The method may also include selecting a subset of the payment transactions that is associated with the combination of values. The method may additionally include determining a first rate at which payment transactions of the subset have the given result during a first time period and a second rate at which one or more payment transactions associated with the combination have the given result during a second time period, and generating an indication that the two rates differ.

  • Patent number: 10949883
    Abstract: The disclosed technology includes system and method for discovering key places for a mobile device based on historical location data associated with the mobile device. The key places are discovered by mapping the historical location data into predefined land areas in a geographical region, aggregating the historical location data into time interval sessions, selecting a first set of the predefined areas based on density of location data in each of the predefined land areas, and filtering the first set of the predefined areas to obtain the key places. The key places are used to estimate one or more travel routes routinely taken by a user of the mobile device, and to build an association database, where one or more billboards and/or points of interests near the travel routes are associated with the mobile device or its user. Information documents for delivering to the mobile device are selected based at least on data in the association database.

  • Patent number: 10939258
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a mobile advertising platform in which mobile user locations and other information are translated into indications of mobile user intent to approach certain businesses, and advertisers can fill mobile advertising requests or choose to price their bids for mobile supplies based on such indications. In certain embodiments, pre-defined places associated with business/brand names are created, and mobile advertising requests are processed to determine if the associated with mobile devices have triggered any of these pre-defined places. If a mobile advertising request is determined to have triggered one or more of the pre-defined places, it is annotated with the triggered place(s), and advertisements are selected based on the triggered places and other factors. The annotated requests with the triggered places can also be commodities in a location market place, which are auctioned to the mobile advertisers, who can place their bids on the triggered places.
