Publication number: 20240104152Abstract: A content management system server can obtain a protocol based data transmission via a computer network from a script that executes at the publisher device server, and can obtain search result content items from an index of electronic documents that include snippets of text extracted from the search result content items and that include hypertext links to the search result content items. The system can extract feature vectors and document identifiers of the search result content items, and can determine information retrieval scores of search result content items. Based on the network identifier, location probabilities of device locations can be ranked and compared to thresholds. The system can determine a confidence threshold representing a minimum degree of certainty of the geographical location of the devices and can select content for protocol based transmission accordingly.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Krzystof Duleba, Amin charaniya, Vibhor Nanavati, Aileen Tang

Patent number: 9824156Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for improving geographic targeting of digital content. In some implementations, a targeting request that identifies a target geographic region is received. Groups of geographic regions that each include the target geographic region and at least another geographic region are identified. Combined targeting accuracies are computed for the groups of geographic regions. One or more of the groups of geographic regions are selected based on their combined targeting accuracies being higher than a targeting accuracy for the target geographic region. Data describing the selected one or more groups of geographic regions is provided for output in response to the targeting request.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2016Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Luuk van Dijk, Jeffrey D. Oldham, Hartmut Maennel, Krzysztof Duleba, Zoltan Szamonek, Fiona Herring, Aileen Tang

Publication number: 20170324805Abstract: Configurations for providing a multi-tier hierarchy to manage geographical data are disclosed. The subject technology identifies a first geographic location and determines where, in a geographic hierarchy, the first location belongs, including associating one or more labels with the first location. Each label is associated with a respective level in the geographic hierarchy that includes the first location. The subject technology identifies a second, different geographic location and determines where, in the geographic hierarchy, the second location belongs. One or more different number of levels in the geographic hierarchy are determined to associate with the second location than a number of levels in the geographic hierarchy associated with the first location. The subject technology associates one or more labels for the one or more different number of levels with the second location, and uses respective labels to target content delivered to users associated with the first or second locations.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 3, 2014Publication date: November 9, 2017Inventors: Amin CHARANIYA, Krzysztof Duleba, Jessica Mignone, James Thomas Dowdell, Aileen Tang, Smita Hashim, Ankur Gupta, Luuk Van Dijk

Patent number: 9053495Abstract: Configurations for geographical targeting for managing content of campaigns are disclosed. In one example, the subject technology provides a user interface including controls for enabling selection of targeting criteria by a content sponsor. The user interface includes a campaign tool for receiving input on campaign details to be executed by a content delivery system. The campaign tool includes a search control for receiving search strings and responsive thereto providing search completions that represent one or more geographic areas and reach information for each geographic area. The campaign tool also includes a control for adding a geographic area to a campaign, excluding the geographic area from the campaign, or presenting a map of the geographic area.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2012Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Shu Niu, Amin Charaniya, Jamie Samdal, Krzysztof Duleba, Jessica Mignone, Audrey Yang, Prabhu Balasubramanian, James Dowdell, Doris Bruneder, Aileen Tang, Smita Hashim, Ankur Gupta, Graham Jenkin, Luuk van Dijk

Patent number: 9043223Abstract: Configurations for targeting nearby geographic locations for managing content are disclosed. The subject technology identifies one or more geographic locations for targeting content from a campaign for delivery to users and the campaign associated with a content sponsor. One or more geographic locations that are nearby the one or more geographic locations associated with the campaign are automatically presented to the content sponsor, including presenting candidate nearby geographic locations and estimated reach information along with each candidate geographic location. The subject technology receives a selection of one or more candidate geographic locations for inclusion in the campaign, and adds the selection to the campaign.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2012Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Shu Niu, Amin Charaniya, Jamie Samdal, Krzysztof Duleba, Jessica Mignone, Audrey Yang, Prabhu Balasubramanian, James Dowdell, Doris Bruneder, Aileen Tang, Smita Hashim, Ankur Gupta, Graham Jenkin
