  • Publication number: 20260350658
    Abstract: A method includes: accessing a set of biddable objects; and accessing a corpus of web resources. The method includes, for each web resource in the corpus of web resources: extracting a set of language signals from the web resource; deriving a motif of the web resource based on the set of language signals; identifying a biddable object, in the set of biddable objects, represented within the web resource based on the motif; and associating the web resource with the biddable object. The method also includes: receiving a user prompt; extracting a set of language signals from the user prompt; identifying a set of candidate biddable objects exhibiting correspondence to the set of language signals; and, in response to detecting selection of a target biddable object, in the set of candidate biddable objects, by a user, allocating ad slots, on web resources associated with the target biddable object, to the user.

  • 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.
