  • Publication number: 20250245699
    Abstract: An input dataset corresponding to an audience is augmented by joining a first set of individual IDs of the audience with a second set of individual IDs in a set of reference audiences stored within a cloud system. An engagement score is generated for each individual in the first set of individual IDs by processing the input dataset with augmented data using a trained machine learning model. Each ID in the first set of individual IDs is assigned to a tier category. A target audience (a subset of the first set of individual IDs belonging to a particular tier category) is identified. A similarity score is calculated for each individual belonging to the target audience with the second set of individual IDs in the set of reference audiences. An expanded audience is generated based on the similarity scores.

  • Patent number: 12154139
    Abstract: Systems are disclosed for determining contextual segments for targeting contextual advertising in metaverses. The system can deploy an observer avatar in a metaverse to capture information inside a portion of a metaverse from behaviors and interactions of a target user avatar. The observer avatar can capture audio, video, images, and text perceived by the observer avatar in the area of the user avatar, along with metadata describing the captured information. Using the captured observations, the system can determine contextual segments classifying the portion of the metaverse. Using a library of the contextual segments, advertisers can distribute contextually targeted advertisements.

  • Publication number: 20240304101
    Abstract: A learning and motivation booster application for posing questions and taking inputs from user's in response to the questions; designed to provide rewards to user's in the form of movies and video games that can only be assessed when a user specified threshold/rules/objectives is achieved and, depending on the correctness of the user's responses. The first part of the apparatus comprise of computing and application devices that receive inputs and converts them to machine readable codes considered as users' response. It then compares those responses to existing correct responses. The second part is comprised of device that stores questions and answers which can be activated by the first set of devices to display to the user. The third part of the apparatus comprises an entertainment database and all other potential entertaining devices and software with contents to reward users based on the correctness of their inputs/responses.
