  • Patent number: 11961125
    Abstract: One variation of a method for quantifying user engagement includes: serving a digital advertisement to a mobile device; recording a first proportion of pixels of the digital advertisement rendered on a display of the mobile device during a first sampling period; recording a second proportion of pixels of the digital advertisement rendered on the display of the mobile device during a second sampling period offset in time from the first sampling period; calculating a cumulative pixel exposure of the digital advertisement at the mobile device based on a combination of a first product of the first proportion of pixels and a duration of the first sampling period and a second product of the second proportion of pixels and a duration of the second sampling period; and storing the cumulative pixel exposure as an engagement metric for a user consuming the digital advertisement at the mobile device.

  • Publication number: 20230368246
    Abstract: One variation of a method for aggregating advertisement interaction data includes: receiving a ping from a visual element loaded onto a mobile device, the ping containing: a timestamp; and a value representing a proportion of the visual element visible in a viewport at the mobile device; in response to the value exceeding a threshold value, grouping the ping with a group of pings in a ping feed, the group of pings containing a unique identifier associated with the mobile device; in response to the value falling below the threshold value, concluding an advertisement view session containing the group of pings; calculating a time spent value for visibility of advertisement content in the visual element within the advertisement view session based on timestamps of pings in the group of pings; outputting an advertisement view session packet containing the unique identifier and the time spent value to a database.

  • Patent number: 11282106
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a dynamic optimization of delivery of one or more advertising messages of an advertising campaign. The various apparatuses and methods disclosed herein deliver the one or more advertising messages to a targeted audience of the advertising campaign. Thereafter, these apparatuses and methods monitor exposure of the targeted audience to the one or more advertising messages to generate an advertisement exposure list. This list can include members of the targeted audience that have not been exposed to the one or more advertising messages, members of the targeted audience that have been exposed to the one or more advertising messages less than an optimal frequency of exposure, and/or members of the targeted audience that have been exposed to the one or more advertising messages greater than or equal to the optimal frequency of exposure.

  • Publication number: 20200349606
    Abstract: One variation of a method for modeling mobile advertisement consumption includes: serving a first advertisement in an advertising campaign to a computing device associated with a user, accessing a first set of engagement data, recorded by the first advertisement, representing a first set of interactions between the user and the first advertisement at the computing device; accessing a model linking user interactions with a set of advertisements within the advertising campaign and a target outcome for the advertising campaign; estimating a predicted set of interactions between the user and a second advertisement in the advertising campaign based on the model and the first set of engagement data; and in response to the predicted set of interactions anticipating the target outcome, serving the second advertisement, in the advertising campaign, to the user.
