  • Patent number: 9824374
    Abstract: An ad gateway is disclosed. The ad gateway comprises a processor, a memory, and an application stored in the memory. The application when executed by the processor, determines a type of network connection by which a mobile communication device is communicatively coupled to a communication network and a current quality of service (QOS) level of the communication network. The application then selects an advertisement type based on the type of network connection and based on the current QoS level of the communication network. The application then requests an advertisement of the selected type for the mobile communication device from an advertisement data store, wherein the advertisement types comprise a static image type, an animation type, a video type, and a high definition video type. The application then receives the advertisement from the advertisement data store. The application then transmits the advertisement to the mobile communication device.
