Abstract: A method includes receiving at a media broadcast system, via a first packet-switched network interface, a station identifier transmitted from a hybrid media device using a second packet-switched network interface included in the hybrid media device. The station identifier corresponds to an over-the-air media station received by an over-the-air tuner included in the hybrid media device. An address of a streaming media station corresponding to the station identifier is transmitted from the media broadcast system to the hybrid media device. A request to receive the streaming media station is transmitted from the hybrid media device and received at the media broadcast system, which transmits the streaming media station to the hybrid media device, in response to the request.

Abstract: A system for contextual modification of content based on multimodal extraction of metadata from the content, wherein the metadata is extracted by processing one or more scenes in the content to extract metadata corresponding to multiple extraction modes, and an embedding model for each extraction mode wherein an aggregated embedding model responsive to the extracted metadata for each mode formulates an aggregated embedding. A process controller may include an embedding extractor responsive to a control input. The control input may specify one or more features appearing in the content defining a content modification opportunity. The embedding extractor may include an embedding model coordinated with the embedding model for one or more of the embedding modes to generate an opportunity embedding in the form of a vector. A vector comparison processor determines the distance between the opportunity embedding and the aggregated embedding, wherein the embeddings are in the form of vectors.

Abstract: The technology is generally directed to determining whether a consumer being presented with a digital component is a disengaged and/or qualifying disengaged consumer at the time the digital component is being selected. An artificial intelligence model may be trained and used to predict whether the consumer is a disengaged and/or qualifying disengaged consumer. The prediction may be a probability representing the likelihood that the user is a disengaged and/or qualifying disengaged consumer for a given merchant. The probability may be used to dynamically adjust the merchant's bid at the time of auction to have the merchant's digital component selected. The probability may, in some examples, may be used to dynamically adjust the conversion values after the merchant's digital component is provided for output.

Abstract: A product offered by the advertisement is displayed to the consumer in a multi-retailer cart which allows the consumer to select the product from among a plurality of retailers identified in the multi-retailer cart that offer the same or similar products and the mobile. The plurality of retailers to be displayed in the multi-retailer cart is determined by application of any of several factors that include the current location of the consumer, where those retailers that are most proximate to the consumer are displayed; incentives that are uniquely available based on consumer location; profile information associated with the consumer, such as retail preferences, affinity memberships; retailer factors, such as the availability of discounts, coupons, availability of the product in inventory, etc. The retailers may be ranked in the cart based on any one or more of these factors, and/or based upon payment of a promotion fee.

In particular, the offers and coupons can interact with stored payment information resident (or tokens thereof) on a digital wallet data structure. The approach can be implemented as a computing system, a computing method operable on a computing system, or a computer program product affixed in the form of a non-transitory computer readable medium storing machine-interpretable instructions.

Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods provide a system for dynamically serving personalized content for presentation across computing devices of different guests in an online retail environment. A server system can: retrieve, from a data repository, a subset of predefined content stories having a predetermined activation status and guest purchase data for at least a portion of guests in the online retail environment, the guest purchase data indicating products each guest purchased, determine product embeddings for each story in the subset, each embedding indicating a product linked to the story, determine, based on applying a guest story similarity (GSS) model to the guest purchase data for each guest, a similarity score between the guest purchase data and the embeddings that indicates a likelihood the guest would purchase products embedded in the story, and serve a content story having a similarity score that satisfies one or more guest personalization criteria.

Abstract: External notifications of events that take place within a virtual space may be provided to users. External notifications may be sent, for example, via email, text message, instant message (external from the virtual space), push notification and/or through other external communication media. These external notifications may be generated based on parameters, such as user parameters, event parameters, and/or other parameters. The parameters may include one or more parameters that are dynamic and/or one or more parameters that are static. The notifications may include incentive offers. The incentive offers may include offers of virtual items within the virtual space. The incentive offers may require a response to the notification for redemption. The incentive offers may enhance engagement with the virtual space by users.

Abstract: A system and a method for allocating energy credits is provided. The system includes circuitry that identifies a vehicle identifier associated with an electric vehicle and retrieves usage data comprising battery charging records for the electric vehicle. Each record includes a charging time-period, quantity of electrical power used, and geographic location. The circuitry determines a carbon intensity score for the electrical power consumed during each charging time-period based on the usage data. An adjusted quantity of electrical power for allocation of energy credits is determined based on the carbon intensity score and usage data. The circuitry transmits a request to an energy credit provider for allocation of energy credits against the vehicle identifier based on the adjusted quantity.

Abstract: A product purchase system includes a first communication terminal carried by an advertising user, a second communication terminal provided to be movable with a vehicle, and a server. The first communication terminal sends advertisement product information indicating a product worn or held by the advertising user to the server. The second communication terminal sends a product search request including second position information and second time information to the server. The second position information indicates a position of the vehicle when a specific action performed by an occupant in the vehicle is detected while the vehicle is moving. The second time information indicates a clock time when the specific action is detected. The server extracts candidate product information from the advertisement product information, based on the second position information and the second time information. The server then sends the extracted candidate product information to the second communication terminal.
