Provided are methods and systems for, in one aspect, managing content delivered to one or more devices. Methods may comprise receiving a first identifier associated with a user of content. The content may comprise one or more advertisement or placement opportunities. A second identifier may be determined based at least on the first identifier. The second identifier may be a perishable identifier configured to expire based on an event. The second identifier may be transmitted to an entity associated with an advertisement inventory, wherein the second identifier facilitates the targeted placement of one or more advertisements from the advertisement inventory without exposing the first identifier to the entity.

A system includes a plurality of stocked items arranged throughout a store for picking, a central computing system, and a mobile scanning device. The central computing system is configured to receive a customer order that includes a plurality of ordered items indicating which of the stocked items are to be picked. Each of the ordered items is associated with a location in the store. The central computing system is configured to generate a route for the customer order. The route indicates a sequence in which one or more of the ordered items should be picked. The mobile scanning device includes a display and is configured to wirelessly receive the route from the central computing system and arrange items included in the route on the display based on the sequence indicated in the route.

The disclosure generally pertains to systems and methods for providing targeted content to users. In an example method, audio data can be received from a device. Sensor data associated with the device may also be received, and the sensor data may include location data. Upon receiving the audio data, an intent associated with the audio data can be determined. At least one of a product, service, or entity may be determined based on the intent. Content may then be determined based on the sensor data and at least one of the product, service, or entity. The content may be associated with a vehicle. An indication of the content can then be sent to the device.

In accordance with one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for leveraging a social network to search for local inventory includes communicating with a first mobile communication device over a network, the first mobile communication device associated with a user, and communicating with a second mobile communication device over the network, the second mobile communication device associated with a social network contact. The method further includes obtaining a geo-location of the second mobile communication device, processing a search request from the first mobile communication device, obtaining a radius of coverage for a merchant, determining whether the geo-location of the second mobile communication device is within the radius of coverage of the merchant, and providing a listing to the first mobile communication device of one or more items for sale by the merchant when the second mobile communication device is within the radius of coverage of the merchant.

The present disclosure provides method and system to facilitate definition, tuning and visualization of a geo-fence at a computer system. The method comprises: receiving input parameters for a geo-fence, the input parameters including one or more parameters specifying a geographical region; sampling historical mobile signals based on one or more of the input parameters; dividing the geographical region into a plurality of areas; determining a weight for each respective area of the plurality of areas based at least on density of sampled mobile signals associated with geographical locations in the respective area; selecting a subset of the plurality of areas based on respective weights of the plurality of areas; and forming the geo-fence using the subset of the plurality of areas, the geo-fence including one or more contiguously closed regions each formed by a cluster of adjacent areas among the subset of the plurality of areas.

Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to data delivery. More specifically, some embodiments of the present technology relate to systems and methods for using spatial and temporal analysis to associate data sources with mobile devices. The delivery of data to support a wide variety of services for and about mobile devices that are based on data stored in corporate, commercial, and government databases which is not currently linked to individual mobile devices. Some embodiments allow advertisers to better target their ads to relevant target audience with greater accuracy.

A business accesses a campaign server and inputs information relevant to a marketing campaign. The server sends invitations to social media influencers, who then post content to various platforms to influence customers to act in ways beneficial to the business, either by further advancing the marketing campaign or by actually generating revenue for the sponsor. The system tracks the social media reactions of customers (likes, shares, etc.), as well as real-world activity (product purchases, physical attendance at advertised locations, etc.), attributable to each influencer, and points are awarded based on the activity they generate among customers. The points are weighted according to the type of activity generated and/or the social media platforms on which the activity is generated, and the running point totals of the influencers are published to foster competition among them. A total reward is allocated and paid to the influencers according to their relative total accumulated points.

According to some embodiments, a method performed by an end user electronic device comprises: triggering a digital content display opportunity; generating an opportunity identifier that uniquely identifies the digital content display opportunity within a digital content display opportunity bidding system; obtaining demographic information associated with a user of the end user electronic device; and transmitting the opportunity identifier and the demographic information to a network node in the digital content display opportunity bidding system.

This application relates to systems, methods, devices, and other techniques for dynamic and real-time updated receipts in an autonomous store

Methods and apparatus to associate transactions with media impressions are disclosed. An example method includes transmitting a request for commercial transaction information to a database proprietor, the request including an identifier corresponding to a media impression associated with media presented via a computing device; receiving the commercial transaction information in response to the request, the commercial transaction information comprising data associated with a commercial transaction conducted using an account accessed by the computing device; and associating the media impression with the commercial transaction.
