  • Patent number: 11902223
    Abstract: A computing system receives user activity data from a user interacting with content associated with a third party computing system. The computing system generates a profile for the user based on the user activity data. The profile includes tags indicating attributes about the user. The computing system establishes a communication session between the user and the intelligent assistant via a chat interface. The computing system receives a message from the user to the intelligent assistant. The computing system determines that the message includes at least one key word triggering retrieval of relevant content. Based on the determining, the computing system retrieves content that is associated with the key word and relevant to the user based on the tags associated with the user profile. The computing system causes a client device associated with the user to display the content alongside the chat interface.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11544702
    Abstract: Methods and devices for provisioning a secure application on an electronic device with first issuer data for a first issuer are described. In an embodiment, the provisioning system receives and stores first issuer records. The example provisioning system receives a provisioning request to provision the secure application with the first issuer data. The provisioning request includes identifying information. The example provisioning system evaluates the provisioning request based on at least one of the first issuer evaluation criteria, the first issuer records and the identifying information in the provisioning request. When the provisioning request satisfies the first issuer evaluation criteria, the example provisioning system generates a signal using the communication module to provide the first issuer data to the electronic device to provision the secure application on the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 11537623
    Abstract: To select the content to be presented to the user, a first latent vector is determined for a content item based on a first object associated with the content item. A second latent vector is determined for the content item based on a second object associated with the content item. A content item vector is then determined based on the first and second latent vectors. Furthermore, a user vector is determined based on interactions of the user with the first set of content objects and the second set of content objects. A score indicative of the likelihood of the user interacting with the content item is determined based on the content item vector and the user vector.
