Non-Intrusive Advertisement Presentation

US Patent:
2012011, May 10, 2012
Filed:
Nov 8, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/941908
Inventors:
Allen Billings - Lafayette CA, US
Assignee:
MOBITV, INC. - Emeryville CA
International Classification:
G06Q 30/00
US Classification:
705 1455
Abstract:
Advertisements are often presented in the context of a media content viewing experience. Advertisement presentation may be intrusive or subtle. In many instances, users may be interested in particular advertisements but may not want to disrupt a media content viewing experience by launching an advertisement window, opening an advertisement application, or otherwise being redirected to another piece of content. Consequently, mechanisms are provided to allow a user to identify advertisements or save advertisement interests for presentation at a later time. Saved advertisement interests can be used to inform future advertisement and/or content suggestions, and the user can be presented with selected advertisements within an application or through external mechanisms.

Optimized Network Employing Seamless And Single Sign On Capabilities For Users Accessing Data Applications On Different Networks

US Patent:
2005009, May 5, 2005
Filed:
Oct 30, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/695805
Inventors:
Varsha Clare - Pleasanton CA, US
Allen Billings - San Francisco CA, US
Kent Hughes - Oakland CA, US
International Classification:
H04Q007/20
US Classification:
455433000, 455432100
Abstract:
The concepts herein address a communication network for managing user identifiers of users accessing data applications on at least two different networks each accessible through a service provider, and providing a seamless sign on when accessing a data application from a mobile station. A wireless communication network links a mobile station with a data application on the wireless network, and a user accessing the data application from the mobile station is identified by a user identifier entered by the user. A communication network other than a wireless communication network links a user interface other than a mobile station with a data application on the other communication network, and the user accessing the data application from the user interface is identified by the user identifier entered by the user. A computer system is in communication with data applications of the wireless communication network and with the other communication network. The computer system facilitates user sign-on capabilities to the data applications from the mobile station and the user interface with the same user identifier. If accessing the data application from the wireless communication network, a computer system leverages authentication information from the Home Location Register for authenticating and authorizing access to the data application for seamless sign-on.
