Publication number: 20240119515Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses to match content providers and interested content users are described. Input indicating an accessing of a network location by a user is received along with the user's identifier. The identifier is obfuscated and transmitted to a content provider configured to provide content to the user at the network location. A re-direct identifier is transmitted to the user instructing the user to directly contact the content provider. When the user contacts the content provider, the user transmits a provider-specific identifier by which the content provider identifies the user and the obfuscated user identifier. The content provider updates a database of obfuscated user identifiers and provider-specific user identifiers based on the received identifiers. Thus, the content provider is enabled to identify interested users based on obfuscated and provider-specific user identifiers.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Adrian Dumitru Corduneanu, Eyal Manor, Scott Spencer, Joerg Heilig

Publication number: 20230362427Abstract: A request from a user to view a video content item may be received, the requesting user being associated with at least one of a set of preferences or a context. group of similar users may be identified based the set of preferences or the context. A number of candidate video items corresponding to the video content item may be identified. A watch time difference may be determined for each candidate video item of the number of candidate video items. A subset may be determined based on the watch time difference associated with each candidate video items.

Patent number: 10721513Abstract: A promotional message may be provided to a first portion of a group of users. A first watch time may be identified based on an amount of time during a period of time that users of the first portion view the video content items after being provided the promotional message. A second watch time may be identified based on an amount of time during the period of time that users of a second portion of the group view video content items where the promotional message is not provided to the users of the second portion of the group. A difference between the first watch time and the second watch time may be calculated. A determination of whether to provide the promotional message to a subsequent user sharing one or more characteristics with the group of users may be based on the difference between the first watch time and the second watch time may be made.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2016Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Prachi Gupta, Eyal Manor

Publication number: 20140229252Abstract: This specification describes technologies relating to selection and delivery of online content. One aspect of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods that include determining a share fraction based on a received reserve price and based in part on a distribution of past bids for content inventory units in one or more content slots provided by a publisher. The methods may further include determining a second reserve price based in part on the received reserve price and based in part on a distribution of past bids for content inventory units in one or more content slots provided by the publisher. The methods may further include receiving one or more bids for the content inventory unit and allocating the content inventory unit to a buyer based in part on the one or more bids and the second reserve price.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2013Publication date: August 14, 2014Applicant: Google Inc.Inventors: Renato Gomes, Martin Pal, Gagan Goel, Seyed Vahab Mirrokni Banadaki, Eyal Manor

Patent number: 8543715Abstract: The capability to limit the number of user redirects for a third-party content provider or third-party content provider network, such as, for example, an advertiser or advertising network, is provided. Such a capability extends the functionality of an attribute of a HyperText Markup Language (HTML) element to establish a limit to the number of user redirects. Accordingly, such a limit can be used to enforce restrictions on the number of user redirects through a user's web browser.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2011Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Richard Rabbat, Eyal Manor

Publication number: 20030236918Abstract: The present invention includes a network layer module which may communicate with a computing device's network layer and intercept packets produced by one or more source applications running on the computing device. A protocol unwrapping unit may unwrap the intercepted packets, and a prioritization module may assign a priority value to each unwrapped packet based on the packet's source application. A synchronized data packing module may insert into an encapsulated packet at least a portion of an unwrapped packet, wherein the inserted portion of an unwrapped packet's size relative to the encapsulated packet's size is correlated to the inserted packet's relative priority value.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2002Publication date: December 25, 2003Inventors: Eyal Manor, Hagai Sela

Publication number: 20030208603Abstract: There is presented a system and method for initiating communication between a computing device with a client application accessing data from a server and a representative workstation associated with the server. According to the present invention, an activity detector may monitor inputs to the computing device and a behavior filter may determine whether the detected activity qualifies for the establishment of communication between the computing device and the representative workstation. A communication module may initiate a communications application, mode or link between the computing device and the representative workstation upon receiving a signal or indicator from the behavior filter.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2002Publication date: November 6, 2003Inventors: Eyal Manor, Zeev Pritzker
