Abstract: In some embodiments, an entry management module may receive a set of entries, each entry of the set of entries including a time-stamp value and a path identifier to a data object having content that may be changed. An entry selection module may select a first entry from the set of entries based on a first time-stamp value of the first entry, the first time-stamp value identifying a first time being no later than other times identified by time-stamp values of other entries. A crawler module may retrieve first content from a first data object using a first path identifier of the first entry. A freshness module may calculate a first updated timestamp value using a first freshness value, the first freshness value indicating a priority to retrieve possibly changed content from the first data object, the first updated time-stamp value replacing the first time-stamp value.

Abstract: A computer system includes a master controller that receives an HTTP request for a first URL. The URL indicates a first state of a first mobile application. A navigation controller navigates to the first state of the first mobile application within a device. A content scraper extracts content from the first state and identifies forward links to corresponding additional states of the first mobile application. The computer system includes an output formatter configured to package the content and the forward links into an HTTP response and transmit the HTTP response to a source of the first HTTP request. The HTTP response includes a forward URL for each additional state of the first mobile application reachable from the first state. For each additional state, the forward URL includes an indicator of the first mobile application and a path to reach the additional state within the first mobile application.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to selecting an advertisement to be presented in an ad space of a webpage. A criterion (e.g., keyword, image, audio element, etc.) is selected to evoke the advertisement. In an embodiment, the criterion is selected based on a relevance of the criteria to a user, and not necessarily based solely on a relevance to the webpage. Whether a criterion should be used to evoke the advertisement might be based on various factors, such as the likelihood that the user will select a criterion-evoked advertisement, regardless of whether the criterion appears in among content of the webpage, and an expected gain of presenting the criterion-evoked advertisement.
