Abstract: A system coupled to a packet-based network is configured to generate geo-blocks for location-based information services. Each of the geo-blocks corresponds to a geographical region within a geographical area and has at least one border defined by a real-world object. The system is configured to obtain geo data related to real-world objects including transportation routes and natural boundaries in the geographical area, partition the geographical area into initial geo-blocks using the geo data, process a plurality of information requests with respect to at least some of the initial geo-blocks and with respect to initial geo-fences associated with a plurality of points of interests (POIs) to generate entries in one or more databases, and machine train a mobile device location prediction model based on the entries in the one or more databases.

Abstract: A system for processing information requests associated with mobile devices comprises an evaluation module configured to determine at least one performance measure for each of a plurality of information documents using at least data in one or both of a requests database and events database. The at least one performance measure includes at least one of an impression-based performance measure, a click/call-based performance measure, and an off-line site-visit-based performance measure. The system further comprises an information server configured to select a first information document for transmitting to a first mobile device to fulfill a first request.

Abstract: A system for processing information requests associated with mobile devices comprises an information server configured to build a search query for an information request based on the location features and other data therein and to search an information database for matching information documents. The matching information documents including information documents having different types of performance measure, including a first document using an impression-based performance measure, a second document using a click/call-based performance measure and a third document using an off-line site-visit-based performance measure. The information server is further configured rank the matching documents based on their respective performance measures and to select a matching document based on their respective rankings.

Abstract: A system coupled to a packet-based network is configured to generate geo-blocks based on geo data related to real-world objects including transportation routes and natural boundaries in a geographical area such that each of the geo-blocks corresponds to a geographical region within the geographical area and has at least one border defined by a real-world object. The system is further configured to determine a performance measure with respect to a point of interest (POI) for each of a set of geo-blocks, and to select one or more geo-blocks each having a performance measure above a threshold from the set of geo-blocks to form a geo-fence for the POI. The threshold is adjustable based on a pacing status of an information campaign associated with the POI.

Abstract: System and methods for running a location-based information campaign (campaign) select one or more first geo-blocks to form a first geo-fence from a plurality of geo-blocks each corresponding to a geographical region having at least one border defined by a real-world object and overlapping substantially with a targeted region associated with the location-based information campaign, and process information requests with respect to the first geo-fence. Each of the one or more first geo-blocks is associated with a respective performance score above a first threshold. The system and methods further monitor a pacing status associated with the campaign, and in response to a pacing goal associated with the campaign not being met, define a second geo-fence for the campaign, the second geo-fence including the one or more first geo-blocks and one or more second geo-blocks each associated with a respective performance score above a second threshold that is below the first threshold.
