  • Publication number: 20160180407
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for providing programmatic creation and modification of advertising services including advertising campaigns. In one embodiment, a system includes an advertising campaign framework having one or more application programming interfaces (APIs) and software components that include one or more software programs and software code libraries. A storage medium stores instructions of the one or more APIs and software components. Processing logic is coupled to the storage medium. The processing logic is configured to execute the instructions of the one or more APIs and software components to receive a function call from an ad campaign software of an advertising entity, to provide a set of functionality for programmatically creating an ad campaign and programmatically modifying an ad campaign, and to generate a response that is sent to the ad campaign software of the advertising entity.

  • Publication number: 20160162940
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for providing advertising services to devices with a customized adaptive user experience based on adaptive algorithms. In one embodiment, a system includes a storage medium to store one or more software programs and an adaptive decision unit coupled to the storage medium. The adaptive decision unit includes or is coupled to processing logic that is configured to execute instructions of at least one adaptive decision algorithm to obtain data for different variables including at least two of an advertisement (ad) engagement history for a user, application (app) engagement history for the user, and in-app purchase engagement history for the user when making an ad selection decision. The at least one adaptive decision algorithm determines an ad selection decision for at least one relevant ad or ad content served in an engaging manner to a device of the user.

  • Publication number: 20160162939
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for providing advertising services to devices with a customized adaptive user experience. In one embodiment, a system includes a user interface (UI) configurator to provide a custom scripting framework to create and edit customizable ad formats for display on a device. The ad system receives an ad request from the device with the ad request including different types of information including publisher settings of a selected software application on the device, an application id to identify the selected software application, placement information for timing placement of at least one ad or interstitial ad to be displayed on the device. The ad system processes the ad request to determine an ad format and timing placement of the at least one ad or interstitial ad based on the information contained in the ad request.
