  • Patent number: 10051341
    Abstract: This application is directed to a method implemented on a computing device for supplementing a live broadcast displayed at a client device. The computing device analyzes descriptive information for the live broadcast and generates first keywords related to the live broadcast from the descriptive information. The computing device receives a plurality of live information streams independent from the live broadcast, and automatically without user intervention, extracts second keywords from the plurality of events. The computing device determines the relevance of each event in the plurality of events to the live broadcast by correlating the first keywords generated from the descriptive information of the live broadcast and the second keywords extracted from the plurality of events, thereby selecting a subset of the plurality of events. Information representing the subset of events is formatted for display.

  • Patent number: 9621932
    Abstract: A method is described for supplementing a live broadcast. The method is performed on a server system having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors to perform the method. The server system receives first keywords related to the live broadcast. The server system then receives a plurality of input streams, wherein each input stream includes a plurality of events. The server system then extracts second keywords from the plurality of events. The server system then determines the relevance of each event in the plurality of events to the live broadcast by correlating the first and second keywords. The server system then transmits the relevant events to a client device.

  • Publication number: 20140372203
    Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and computer-storage media are provided for utilizing a quality-weighted generalized second-price auction to rank, price, and allocate advertisements for presentation on a results page. Advertisements responsive to a search query are identified, and a rank score is determined for each of the advertisements. The rank score is determined based on a quality score associated with each of the advertisements as well as a bid price for each of the advertisements. The satisfied click-through-rate for an advertisement is used as a proxy metric for the quality score. The quality score is further used to determine the cost-per-click of the advertisement. Certain quality metrics may also be utilized to determine the number of advertisements that should be presented on the results page in order to maximize publisher revenue and minimize user cost.
