  • Publication number: 20240073276
    Abstract: Methods, configured mobile devices, and computer-readable media for displaying content on mobile devices are disclosed. An exemplary method of displaying content on a mobile device includes receiving a first content request provided by a native app that closed and that is executing on one or more processors of the mobile device; responsive to receiving the first content request, determining whether the native app is permitted to display app content on a screen of the mobile device while the native app is closed, wherein said determining includes examining at least one of: mobile device location, mobile device motion, and date/time; and in the event that the native app is permitted to display app content on the screen of the mobile device while the native app is closed: transmitting a second content request to a content server; receiving app content from the content server in response to the second content request; and displaying the app content on the screen of the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 11915458
    Abstract: A process for reducing time of transmission for single-band, multiple-band or hyperspectral imagery using Machine Learning based compression is disclosed. The process uses Machine Learning to compress single-band, multiple-band and hyperspectral imagery, thereby decreasing the needed bandwidth and storage-capacity requirements for efficient transmission and data storage. The reduced file size for transmission accelerate the communications and reduces the transmission time. This enhances communications systems where there is a greater need for on or near real-time transmission, such as mission critical applications in national security, aerospace and natural resources.

  • Patent number: 11652869
    Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying mobile ads on a mobile device of a user are disclosed. In various embodiments, a mobile application (app) is provided to the mobile device for installation, where the mobile app is configured to display mobile ads to a device screen of the mobile device. A server communicatively coupled to the mobile device tracks a reward associated with the user where the reward is based on enabling the mobile device to receive mobile ads. The server transmits one or more mobile ads to the mobile device, which, upon receipt at the mobile device, causes the mobile app to display the one or more mobile ads outside of the mobile app.

  • Patent number: 11212340
    Abstract: Methods, configured mobile devices, and computer-readable media for displaying content on mobile devices are disclosed. An exemplary method for displaying content on a mobile device includes steps for receiving a first content request provided by a native app executing on one or more processors of a mobile device; computing a priority of the native app to display app content on a lock screen of the mobile device; and in the event that the native app has higher priority than other requesting apps to display app content on the lock screen of the mobile device, transmitting a second content request to a content server; receiving app content from the content server in response to the second content request; and displaying the app content on the lock screen of the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 9923953
    Abstract: App content, such as an app notification, is displayed on a lock screen or home screen of a mobile device even when the app is closed. In contrast to present app content, the content may be full-screen, engaging, interactive, and media-rich. An app content SDK is inserted into an app and works directly with native app software. The content SDK determines whether the app has permission to display content on, for example, a lock screen. It may also determine whether the app has priority in displaying the content. The content itself is retrieved either from a content server or from the app itself. In either case, the retrieval and display of the content is coordinated and managed by the SDK which may use other constraints, such as date/time, geographic location, and device motion patterns to determine which content should be displayed.

  • Patent number: 9619824
    Abstract: Ads delivered to mobile devices by virtue of a mobile app executing on the device are displayed on the device screen outside the confines or borders of the mobile app. This enables app developers to display ads through their apps to app users wherein the ads are displayed outside the confines of the actual app as displayed on the device. That is, the ad may be displayed as what may be characterized as a ‘regular non-app generated’ ad, such as on the device's home or lock screen (display areas not normally associated with an app). In this manner, clutter is decreased within mobile apps that would otherwise be caused by the ads. Consequently, advertisers are more likely to pay higher rates thereby generating more revenue for app developers or related entities.
