Definitions

  • Online advertising generates a large amount of online traffic and revenue.
  • Online advertisements are a nearly ubiquitous feature of our online experience because online advertisers typically advertise goods and services on or with websites, mobile apps, video games, set-top boxes, streaming media, and so on.
  • advertisements may be targeted to users based on, for example, demographic information, online activities, search activities (e.g., search queries), online shopping activities, and so on.
  • Online advertisements may take the form of one or more pop-up advertisements, pop-under advertisements, banner advertisements, audio advertisements, video advertisements, animated gifs, and so on.
  • Desktop computers which typically include computer monitors, can offer relatively vast amounts of space for displaying or presenting advertisements.
  • Handheld devices typically provide a limited amount of visual display space or real estate for users to view or interact with, necessarily making online advertisements either annoyingiy large, or small and difficult to interact with.
  • online advertisements may interfere with a user's online experience. For example, a pop-up advertisement may be displayed in such a way that it completely takes over the viewable area of the user's device, As another example, the user may accidentally click on or select the advertisement if the advertisement is displayed over or near a feature of a webpage or application with which the user interacts.
  • At least some embodiments are directed to a computer-implemented methods, devices and systems ("the technology” or “described technology”) of processing data entered via a virtual keyboard or other input device.
  • the data can be analyzed and processed to perform targeted advertising.
  • the targeted advertising is based, at least in part, on data aggregated from virtual keyboard input, navigating one or more online sources via the virtual keyboard, and/or other usage of an electronic device (e.g., mobile telephone, tablet, smart phone, laptop, TV) that displays the virtual keyboard.

  • the virtual keyboard program may not be linked to particular users.
  • the virtual keyboard program can collect any desired data inputted into the device.
  • Older techniques may store user input data as silos of information available only to respective Apps, software, programs, etc. that received that data via a keyboard. For example, a search query entered into a browser is not automatically available to, e.g., a game, blog, SMS text, etc. resulting in low fidelity information about the user.
  • the described technology captures data via the virtual keyboard and the data made available to the technology and/or to a remote system while the data is actively being entered by the user, via the virtual keyboard, and irrespective and independently of the software, server, and/or App, etc. intended by the user to receive the data .
  • the technology does not need to wait to act on the data (e.g., use the data for advertisements, marketing, research, governmental use, etc.) until all of the user's input data is entered or submitted via the virtual keyboard to, e.g., a website and/or mobile App.
  • the technology can act upon each captured data (e.g., a swipe, text, a selection, etc.) in real-time for, e.g., determining one or more advertisement targeted at the user.

  • a user may be able to activate an advertisement displayed in place of or in addition to one or more keys of a virtual keyboard by performing a swipe gesture in a variety of directions, such as up, down, left or right.
  • a swipe gesture for example, can reduce the number unintentional "clicks" on or near the advertisement, thereby increasing the likelihood that activations of advertisements are intentional.
  • a user is directed to one or more websites, applications, and/or files (e.g., media files, video files, or audio files) for or associated with, for example, the advertiser.
  • one or more swipes to the virtual keyboard can forward the advertisement to another user; save the advertisement; foilow the associated advertiser on a social network site (e.g., TWITTER®); share the advertisement or associated advertiser (e.g., company) on a social networking site (e.g., FACEBOOK®, PINTEREST®, etc.); "like” (e.g., performing a binary-like approval or disapproval) the advertisement; and/or rate the advertisement.

  • rating an advertisement has several advantages over "liking" the advertisement. For example, likes" can be arbitrary.
  • Ratings offer a much more accurate picture of what a brand, product, or company means to a person. For example, ranking an advertisement, in some embodiments, allows the advertisement to be marked as irrelevant, offensive, and/or removed from future advertisements from a particular company or a particular type of advertisement.

  • Interactive, real-time advertisement feedback is based, in one or more embodiments, on dynamically receiving and operating on portions of incomplete user input. For example, while the user is actively inputting data into the virtual keyboard (e.g., via one or more key presses and/or gestures) each user input is separately received by the described technology.

  • advertisements are displayed in relative real-time while the user is entering the input. For example, while the user is swiping one or more gestures and/or entering text relating to coffee, data is dynamically used to locally or remotely trigger advertisements for nearby and/or previously visited coffee shops.
