Abstract: In order to allow a first presentation application to utilize tracked information collected by a second presentation application, the tracked information being how digital content is presented in user equipment, the information is collected by user equipment into a presentation application independent ratings data file.

Abstract: Event triggered snapshots of display content of software applications facilitate for a user, typically in the role of a software application developer, in the process of power-optimizing an application under development. The invention provides the developers with an ability to correlate specific software application events, e.g. user interface events, to power consumption peaks and lows.

Abstract: A keyboard event server (KES) allows an end user to remotely control a computer. The KES accepts a uniform resource locator having a query string that specifies one or more keyboard events to be simulated. The query string may include mnemonics corresponding to one or more keyboard-key presses that can be simulated one after another and/or simultaneously. An end user can use a wireless-access browser running on a wireless-client device to remotely control a target computer through a wireless-access gateway.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for tracking and reporting campaign status information for an advertiser having an associated computer in communication with a data network. The campaign status information describes the progress of a marketing campaign performed on behalf of the advertiser using a plurality of electronic publishers in communication with the data network. In one aspect, the method includes determining an amount spent on or for each of the electronic publishers. Campaign event information is determined for the marketing campaign. An electronic report can be prepared, including a compilation of one or more of the determined amount spent and campaign event information. The electronic report can be provided for the advertiser computer over the data network.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for performing a marketing campaign on behalf of an advertiser. A plurality of electronic publishers are in communication with a data network. The advertiser has an associated computer also in communication with the data network. An advertising apparatus, in one aspect of the present invention, includes one or more engines. A user interface engine is configured to interact with the advertiser computer over the data network for generating a budget amount, marketing campaign parameters associated with and defining the marketing campaign, and information describing the marketing campaign. A campaign allocation engine is configured to allocate the budget amount among the electronic publishers based on the generated marketing campaign parameters and publisher parameters associated with the electronic publishers.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for generating advertisement information for performing a marketing campaign on behalf of an advertiser. The advertiser has an associated computer in communication with a data network. A plurality of electronic publishers in communication with the data network are used. In one aspect, the method includes receiving, over the data network, information describing subject matter of the marketing campaign. Advertisement information is generated based on the received information describing the marketing campaign subject matter. A plurality of instantiations of the advertisement information are generated using publisher parameters associated with the electronic publishers. Each instantiation is in a format appropriate for a respective one of the electronic publishers. At least one of the generated instantiations is provided to the respective electronic publisher over the data network.
