  • Patent number: 11366837
    Abstract: A logical segmentation data processing system includes a data retrieval interface configured to receive, from a remote geo-caching data system, geo-caching data representing geographic locations specified by the remote geo-caching data system. The data processing system includes a logical segmentation engine configured to segment a geographic map into geo-areas, each geo-area comprising a subset of the geographic locations represented by the geo-caching data. The data processing system includes an evaluation engine configured to rank, for each of a plurality of the geo-areas, geographic locations in that geo-area. The data processing system includes an aggregation engine configured to select, from each of the plurality of geo-areas, one or more geographic locations with a higher ranking, relative to the rankings of other geographic locations in that geo-area, and to aggregate the selected geographic locations.

  • Publication number: 20160335250
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for user warnings for content items projected to underperform. In one aspect a method includes identifying a first content item for display on a website. The method further includes determining a category of the first content item. The method further includes determining characteristics of the first content item, and identifying other well-performing content items in the category. The method further includes determining characteristics of the other well-performing content items, and contrasting the characteristics of the first content item with the characteristics of the other well-performing content items. In response to these contrasts, a recommendation is provided to a sponsor associated with the content item. The method further includes receiving, from the sponsor, at least one of a command, a replacement content item, or approval of the suggested changes.
