Patent number: 11956202Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to determining and/or utilizing one or more attributes for an Internet Protocol (IP) address and/or other source identifier(s). In some implementations, the attributes may include a physical address and/or email address associated with the source identifier(s). Some implementations are directed to determining physical addresses for inclusion in a postal campaign and/or determining email addresses for inclusion in an email campaign. In some of those implementations, the physical addresses and/or email addresses are determined based on computing devices having source identifiers associated with those addresses having submitted searches with search content assigned to the campaign.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: EL TORO.COM, LLCInventors: Stacy B. Griggs, David T. Stadler, III, Benjamin Charles Woolley

Patent number: 11930555Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are set forth for providing digital and non-digital content to a segment of a population that is identified using geolocation data and other activity data. In some implementations, non-digital content is delivered via postal mail to a segment of a population according to whether the segment of the population viewed certain content before, during, or after visiting a particular geographic location. In other implementations, digital content, such as phone calls or voice messages, can be delivered to a segment of a population according whether the segment of the population is present or has recently been present at a particular location and previously viewed certain content associated with the location. Segmenting populations in this way can conserve computational resources and materials that might otherwise be wasted on serving a larger population that may have less of an interest in the content.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: EL TORO.COM, LLCInventors: Stacy B. Griggs, David T. Stadler, III, Daniel L. Kimball, Richard M. Teachout, III

Patent number: 11798032Abstract: Methods related to determining and utilizing one or more attributes to associate with an IP addresses. Attributes are determined based on request data provided with requests from an IP address and one or more available secondary information sources. Attributes may include physical locations and/or category designations for the IP address. One or more attributes may be assigned a likelihood value indicative of likelihood that the attribute is associated with the IP address. Some implementations are directed to utilizing the attributes and likelihood values to identify likely fraudulent information provided with requests. Some implementations are directed to utilizing the attributes and likelihood values to provide advertisements in response to requests from IP addresses.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2022Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: EL TORO.COM, LLCInventors: Stacy B. Griggs, David T. Stadler, III, Richard M. Teachout, III, Benjamin Charles Woolley

Patent number: 11790439Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media (transitory and non-transitory) are provided herein for automated bidding on auctioned online content. In various embodiments, a bidder process operating on a bidder management computing system may determine an IP address associated with an impression to be populated with consumable content. The impression may be solicited by a content auction computing system. The bidder process may retrieve, e.g., from volatile memory local to the bidder process management computing system, bidding guidelines associated with the IP address. The bidder process may determine, based on the retrieved bidding guidelines, a bid for a particular consumable content item to populate the solicited impression. The bidder process may then submit the bid to the content auction computing system.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2021Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: EL TORO.COM, LLCInventors: Stacy B. Griggs, David T. Stadler, III, Richard M. Teachout, III, Benjamin Charles Woolley

In some of those implementations, the attributes may include a physical address associated with the IP address. Some implementations are directed to determining physical addresses for inclusion in a postal campaign based on computing devices having IP addresses associated with those physical addresses having retrieved content of one or more electronic resources (e.g., webpages) assigned to the campaign.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2021Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: EL TORO.COM, LLCInventors: Stacy B.

Patent number: 11449902Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media (transitory and non-transitory) are provided herein for automated submission for solicited application slots. In various embodiments, a digital component source process executing on a first computing system may determine a device identifier associated with an application slot to be populated with digital component(s). The application slot may be solicited by a digital component liaison process executing on the first computing system or a second computing system. The digital component source process may retrieve application slot attainment parameter(s) associated with the device identifier. The application slot attainment parameter(s) may be generated based on location ordinal(s) associated with the device identifier. The digital component source process may determine, based on the retrieved application slot attainment parameters, a submission to populate the application slot with a particular digital component item.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2019Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: EL TORO.COM, LLCInventors: Stacy B.
