  • Publication number: 20170109391
    Abstract: Injection of metadata into content items. In an embodiment, a content item is received. Data is retrieved from a plurality of metadata sources by, at least, retrieving first data from at least a first one of the plurality of metadata sources, and using the retrieved first data to retrieve second data from at least a second one of the plurality of metadata sources. Descriptive metadata is generated based on at least the retrieved first data and the retrieved second data, and associated with the content item.

  • Patent number: 9569787
    Abstract: System and methods are provided for analyzing and displaying digital content and advertisements over electronic networks. In accordance with one implementation, a method is provided that calculates, using at least one processor, an engagement metric (including, for example, click probability) for a specific combination of time, promotion slot, and user segment, for an individual promotion of a set of promotions, and calculates a value of a landing page associated with the promotion. The method then can multiply the engagement metric and the value to determine the valuation of the promotion. The method can operate recursively by using previous calculations in later runs of the same method.

  • Patent number: 9342362
    Abstract: A computer system and a method of operating a service-processor-centric computer system. In one embodiment, the computer system includes: (1) a CPU configured to issue control signals and (2) a service processor configured for intercepting and handling the control signals, the handling including delaying, modifying or ignoring the control signals, the service processor further configuring for issuing highest-priority control signals.

  • Publication number: 20090287528
    Abstract: A system and method for selecting a work flow to direct a user to an appropriate form and facilitate the entry of data. The system identifies one or more environmental conditions that are associated with the data that is to be entered. Environmental conditions may include the size of the display on which the form will be displayed, the user that will be utilizing the form, the location, date and/or time that the form will be displayed, and other conditions. Based on the identified environmental conditions, the system selects a work flow that will efficiently direct the user to an appropriate form or series of forms for data entry. The system may select a work flow from a plurality of template work flows. The system may monitor paths taken by users within a work flow and seek to optimize the work flow based on the monitored paths.
