Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting improper presentation of content items by applications executing on client devices. A method can include: (i) receiving content requests from a plurality of client devices, wherein each of the content requests is generated by an application executing on a respective client device of the plurality of client devices; (ii) transmitting to each client device of the plurality of client devices, responsive to a content request from the client device, a content package including at least a content item and an interaction confirmation script; (iii) determining a location parameter associated with the interaction confirmation script; (iv) determining a performance metric of the content item; and (v) determining whether the application receives inadvertent clicks at the content item based on the performance metric and the location parameter.

Abstract: Techniques for increasing security and privacy while requesting digital advertisements for mobile applications are provided. Such techniques use a separate ad management application on the same mobile computing device as an ad-requesting application to receive an ad request and to provide an ad response that provides digital ad assets to the ad-requesting application. The ad request and the ad response may be remote procedure calls. To obtain and provide the digital ad assets of a digital advertisement, the ad management application generates an ad request message based upon the ad request (which may include augmenting the ad request), sending the ad request message to a supply-side platform (SSP) of a digital advertising network, receiving an ad response message including the digital ad assets from the SSP, and sending the ad response with the digital ad assets to the ad-requesting application for display to a user of the mobile computing device.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores instructions that implement an application programming interface (API). When invoked by a software entity executing on a computing device, the API is configured to receive, from the application, an indication of a geographic location (304); obtain, from an operating system of the computing device, an indication of a general geographic area associated with a home location of a user, wherein the operating system prevents the software entity from accessing the indication of the general geographic area (306); and provide, to the software entity, an indication of whether the geographic location is within the general geographic area (308).

Abstract: A method for establishing content authenticity when aggregating content includes receiving a content package that includes a content item hosted by a content publisher site and a first digital signature. The method also includes determining whether the content package satisfies authenticity criteria, at least in part by decrypting the first digital signature using a first public key to produce a plurality of hashes. The first public key is associated with a particular content publisher, the plurality of hashes includes a hash of first data that includes at least a first portion of the content item and a hash of second data that includes at least a second portion of the content item and omits at least the first portion. The method also includes providing aggregated content to content consumers, by including or restricting access to a link based on whether the content package satisfies the authenticity criteria.

A method can include receiving a content package including a first content item, a second content item and an interaction confirmation script, the interaction confirmation script configured to execute within an application and cause the application to detect, responsive to the first content item presented, a first interaction event with the first content item; present, upon detecting the first interaction event on the first content item, the second content item; detect a second interaction event with the second content item; transmit, upon detecting the second interaction event, a confirmation of the first interaction event; and transmit a request to access an information resource linked to the second content item. The method can further include presenting the information resource responsive to the second interaction event on the second content item.

Abstract: The present application is directed to techniques and processes for using various types of data to generate criminal statistics associated with a geographic area. For instance, a system may store first criminal statistics for a first geographical area. The system may further store image data generated by an electronic device and information describing the image data. Next, the system may determine a second geographic area for generating second criminal statistics, where at least a portion of the first geographic area is located within the second geographic area. The system may then determine that at least a portion of the first criminal statistics occurred in the second geographic area and the electronic device is located in the second geographic area. Based on the determinations, the system may generate the second criminal statistics, where the second criminal statistics includes at least a portion of the first criminal statistics and the information.
