  • Patent number: 12265988
    Abstract: The present invention provides improved techniques that can be used to identify hidden content and/or advertisements on a digital display page and to tell the illegitimate pieces of hidden content apart from legitimate ones, which provide reduced levels of false results. For example, a technique involves performing a plurality of analyses on a digital display page to determine whether the digital display page includes content is hidden, wherein each analysis may determine a different result based on whether content in the digital display page is delivered but hidden, comparing the resulting determinations of the analyses, when the analyses all determine that the content is not hidden, classifying the digital display page as not including hidden content, and when at least one analysis determines that the content is not hidden and at least one analysis determines that the content is hidden, classifying the digital display page as including hidden content.
