  • Patent number: 11748783
    Abstract: An online system receives information describing a target group of online system users from a third party system that includes one or more user properties, which may identify an action performed by a an online user within a time interval to include the user in the target group. When an opportunity to present advertisement requests to a user is identified, the online system retrieves actions associated with the user and times associated with the actions. If an action associated with the user matches the action identified by the user properties and occurred within the time interval identified by the user properties, and other characteristics of the user satisfy at least a threshold number of the user properties, the online system includes the user in the target group. Advertisement requests having targeting criteria, including the target group, satisfied by characteristics of the user are evaluated for presentation to the user.

  • Publication number: 20160125455
    Abstract: An online system receives information describing a target group of online system users from a third party system as well as an amount of compensation to the third party system if the target group is used to select content for an online system user. If a content item is identified as eligible for presentation to a viewing user because the viewing user is included in the target group, the online system modifies a bid amount associated with the content item based on the amount of compensation to the third party system. Based on the modified bid amount, the online system determines whether to present the content item to the viewing user. If the content item is presented to the viewing user, the online system modifies an amount charged to a user associated with the content item based on the amount of compensation to the third party system.
