  • Publication number: 20150348095
    Abstract: Measuring advertising effectiveness is disclosed. Attribute data included in a first user profile may be used to select a second user profile that is substantially similar to the first user profile. First behavior information may be determined based at least in part on an association between the first user profile and a location associated with an advertising content data. The first user profile may include an indication of exposure to the advertising content data and the second user profile does not. Second behavior information may be determined based at least in part on an association between the second user profile and the location. An advertising effectiveness value may be generated based at least in part on the first behavior information and the second behavior information.

  • Patent number: 6868169
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for organizing a number of digital images. The system and method advantageously provide a geographical context for viewing the digital images. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes the steps of associating the number of digital images with a digital map in a computer system, and geographically indexing each of the digital images on the digital map in the computer system. To geographically index each of the digital images, the present invention further provides the steps of obtaining a set of geographical coordinates associated with each of the digital images, and identifying a position on the digital map that represents the geographical coordinates for each of the digital images. In addition, the present method may include the step of positioning an image icon on each of the positions on the digital map, thereby indicating the geographical location of the corresponding digital image.
