  • Patent number: 10937053
    Abstract: An online system predicts, using a first targeting model, a first group of users as candidates to be in a targeting cluster, and predicts, using a second targeting model, a second group of users as candidates to be in the targeting cluster. The online system determines a first set of users that are not part of the first group of users, and a second set of users that are not part of the second group of users, and provides surveys to the first and second set of users. The online system determines a first subgroup of the first group of users and a second subgroup of the second group of users, and provides an ad preferences tool to the first subgroup and the second subgroup. The online system scores the first and second targeting models based in part on responses to the surveys and/or the ad preferences tools.

  • Patent number: 10594820
    Abstract: Conditionally combining data from several sources may include retrieving data from several sources in response to a single request and using one or more redirection responses. The request from a client device may include a device identifier, a third-party identifier, a join identifier based, at least in part, on the device identifier, and first data from a first source, such as a first cookie, associated with the received request. A redirection destination may be determined based on configuration data associated with the third-party identifier, such as whether one or more services are selected and/or activated by a publisher of a resource. A redirection response is transmitted to the client device responsive to the received request and includes the redirection destination and the join identifier. The first data from the received request and second data received from the redirection destination may be associated based on the join identifier.

  • Patent number: 10523780
    Abstract: An online system propagates settings from a user's client device to the online system itself for the user. If multiple users of the online system use the client device, the online system propagates settings of a primary user of the client device to the online system, but does not propagate settings of other users of the client device to the online system. The online system logs accesses to the online system each day from the client device of each user. A user having a maximum number of logged days accessing the system and accessing the online system for at least 50% of the logged days is determined to be the primary user by the online system. The online system may use determination that a user is a primary user of the client device for associating actions with the user, selecting content for the user, and identifying the user.

  • Patent number: 9946746
    Abstract: The subject technology provides configurations for propagating information from an initial analytics tracking data communication to subsequent analytics tracking data communications at an analytics server. In one example, the subject technology receives an analytics tracking data communication. The subject technology determines if the received analytics tracking data communication includes state changing information based on analytics tracking data included in the analytics tracking data communication. The subject technology then determines one or more attributes for propagating to subsequent analytics tracking data if the analytics tracking data communication includes state changing information. The state changing information are stored as one or more of the determined one or more attributes. The subject technology stores the analytics tracking data including the determined one or more attributes.

  • Publication number: 20180084460
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for sharing system resources between a first mobile device and a second mobile device. In an aspect, an external interface controller of the first mobile device establishes a connection between the first mobile device and the second mobile device, receives, from the second mobile device, data representing system resources of the second mobile device, and performs a function utilizing the system resources of the first mobile device and the system resources of the second mobile device, wherein performance of the function is facilitated by a data routing and resource control module of the first mobile device exchanging, independently of a processor of the first mobile device, data related to the function with the second mobile device via the external interface controller.

  • Patent number: 9645982
    Abstract: A method for loading a web page is provided. Primary executable script are asynchronously loaded. Commands associated with the primary executable script are pushed onto a first queue and processed by asynchronously loading secondary executable script if the command is a dependency command and pushing the dependency command onto a second queue; registering secondary executable script referenced in the command if the command is a fulfillment command, and pushing the command onto the second queue if the command is neither a dependency nor a fulfillment command. Commands in the second queue are processed by, if the command is a dependency command, determining if the secondary executable script referenced in the dependency command is registered, and associating the secondary executable script with an object if the secondary executable script is registered. If the command is not a dependency command, then the command is executed and removed from the second queue.
