  • Patent number: 10776829
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for dynamic ad selection of ads stored on a device. In one embodiment, a device includes a storage medium to store software programs including advertising services software and software applications. Processing logic is coupled to the storage medium and a display device. The processing logic is configured to execute instructions of at least one of the software programs to receive user input for initiating a software application on the device, determine attributes for the device including software applications currently operating in the storage medium and placement information for the initiated software application, and dynamically select one of the video ads stored on the device based on the attributes including software applications currently operating in the storage medium and placement information for the initiated software application.

  • Patent number: 10438248
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for providing advertising services in a predictive manner to a device with an advertising exchange. In one embodiment, a system receives a configuration call from a device upon initiation of a software application and associated advertising services software on the device. The system generates, prior to a predicted ad play event on the device, a predictive ad request for obtaining at least one advertisement (ad) from at least one of an ad store and an advertising exchange prior to the predicted ad play event. The at least one ad is stored on the device prior to an actual ad play event. The system determines, just prior to the actual ad play event, a bandwidth for a connection between the device and the system. The system determines if any ad source includes at least one ad that is more likely to convert or cause user interaction than the ads stored on the device based on the bandwidth for the connection between the device and the system.

  • Patent number: 9336538
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for providing advertising services to a device with an advertising exchange. In one embodiment, a system receives a configuration call from a device upon initiation of a software application and associated advertising services software on the device. The system sends a configuration file to the device in response to the configuration call. The configuration file includes different options for obtaining an advertisement (ad) to play on the device during an ad play event. The options include playing an ad cached on the device, obtaining at least one ad from an ad store of the system, and obtaining at least one ad from an advertising exchange that includes third party participants.
