Patent number: 11127032Abstract: Approaches provide for or automatically optimizing sponsored content campaigns for a sponsored content provider for a particular consumption category across different content publisher networks. For example, performance data for sponsored content campaigns can be used to train a model for a consumption category to determine allocation scores that quantify a relationship between target audiences and the consumption category. In response to a content placement request to initiate a sponsored content campaign associated with the consumption category, allocation scores can be determined and used to dynamically determine an allocation of resources to appropriate audiences or segments based at least in part upon the trained optimization model. A campaign template can be generated that includes the target audience(s), sponsored content, and respective budget allocation, and any other information for the campaign.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2018Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: EVENTBRITE, INC.Inventors: Tim Thimmaiah, Nick Elsbree, Jake Rush

Publication number: 20210243279Abstract: A user computing device is loaded with a ticket identifier for an event and configured to act as a beacon device transmitting a unique identifier. At the event, a first event computing device located at a first area of the venue (e.g., the main entrance) detects the transmitted beacon and interacts with the user computing device to authenticate the ticket and enable access to the first area. A second event computing device located at a second area of the venue (e.g., VIP area) detects the transmitted beacon and interacts with the user computing device to authenticate the ticket and enable access to the second area.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2021Publication date: August 5, 2021Applicant: Eventbrite, Inc.Inventors: Nadim Awad, Steven Elliott Lewandowski, Edial W.

Patent number: 11012536Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for facilitating customized process flows at an event. A beacon generating device is positioned at the event and is configured to transmit information including a unique identifier associated with the beacon generating device. A user having a mobile communications device running an event management application detects the transmission and sends the detected unique identifier to an event management server. Alternatively, the user's mobile communications device generates and transmits a beacon that is detected by an event organizer device. The event management server returns information to allow the mobile communications device or the event organizer device to run an event-related process.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2015Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: Eventbrite, Inc.Inventors: Nadim Awad, Steven Elliott Lewandowski, Edial W.
