  • Patent number: 12182832
    Abstract: An online system receives financial account information for a user, such as debit card information, from a merchant system with which the user places an order. From the financial account information, the online system selects a virtual credit card providing one or more rewards, such as cashback, to the user. Based on characteristics of the order by the user, the online system identifies one or more offers, such as discounts or rebates, applicable to the order. The online system provides the virtual credit card information to the merchant system and stores the virtual credit card information, as well as information describing one or more identified offers for the order in association with the user and the virtual credit card, in an account maintained for the user. Rewards may be stored in the user's account at the online system for application when using the virtual credit card associated with the user.

  • Patent number: 12112349
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided herein for summarizing a set of anomalies corresponding to a group of metrics of interest to a monitoring system user. Initially, a set of anomalies corresponding to a group of metrics is identified as having values that are outside of a predetermined range. A correlation value is determined for at least a portion of pairs of anomalies in the set of anomalies. For each anomaly in the set of anomalies, an informativeness value is computed that indicates how informative each anomaly in the set of anomalies is to the monitoring system user. The correlation values and the informativeness values are then used to identify at least one key anomaly and a plurality of non-key anomalies from the set of anomalies. A summary is generated of the identified at least one key anomaly to provide information to the monitoring system user about the set of anomalies for a particular time period.

  • Patent number: 11657430
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards employing multiple profiles to track identification of users across multiple domains. Multiple application-domain profiles and multiple web-domain profiles may each include a statistical identifier. A profile enrichment store may be generated from the application-domain profiles and web-domain profiles, where each entry in the profile enrichment store may be based on statistical identifiers. The profile enrichment store may be utilized to determine categories associated with a statistical identifier for a request from a client device. A targeted advertisement may be determined based on the determined category and may be provided to the client device. A client caching identifier may be used in a mobile web domain, in combination with the statistical identifier, to track mobile web users. If a request is associated with a profile that includes an affirmative opt-out flag, categories in the profile enrichment store for a corresponding statistical identifier may be cleaned up.

  • Patent number: 11636507
    Abstract: A control system determines whether a browser is retrieving supplemental content over a slow or faulty network using a tracking indicator. Based on determining that browser is retrieving supplemental content over a slow or faulty network, the control system modifies responses to opportunities to provide supplemental content to the browser. The control system may modify responses by declining to bid, responding with a lower bid amount, or responding with alternate supplemental content. Based on determining that browser is no longer retrieving supplemental content over a slow or faulty network, the control system modifies responses to opportunities to provide supplemental content to the browser by responding with a higher bid amount or responding with the original supplemental content. Thus, the control system maximizes the use of control system and campaign manager resources by responding to opportunities according to the likelihood that they will result in an impression or a conversion.
