Abstract

A system and computer-implemented method for positioning targeted sponsored content on a mobile communication facility includes the steps of (a) receiving data corresponding to a transaction event having been conducted by a user and correlating the user with their associated mobile communication facility, wherein the transaction event includes transmission of data representative of a first set of products or services having been purchased by the user; (b) selecting advertising content based at least upon a relevance between an advertisement for a second product or a second service and the purchased first set of products or services in the transaction event, wherein the relevance is further based on information relating to compatibility of the advertising content, second product, or second service with the mobile communication facility; and (c) presenting the selected advertising content on a display of the mobile communication facility.

Claims (26)

1. A computer-implemented method for positioning targeted sponsored content on a mobile communication facility, the method comprising the steps of:

selecting advertising content based at least upon a relevance between an advertisement for a second product or a second service and the purchased first product or first service in the transaction event, wherein the relevance is further based on information relating to compatibility of the advertising content, second product, or second service with the mobile communication facility; and

presenting the selected advertising content on a display of the mobile communication facility.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the relevance is further influenced by user characteristics.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the relevance is further influenced by a user history.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the relevance is further influenced by user transactions.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the relevance is further influenced by geographic location.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile communication facility is a cellular phone, a mobile phone, a GSM phone, a CDMA phone, a WiMax phone, a personal digital assistant, or a “pocket” personal computer.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the advertisement is an image, a video, audio, text, a link, a coupon, or an application.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the relevance is further influenced by a keyword or category associated with the advertisement.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the relevance is further influenced by the click-through rate associated with the advertisement by other users who have purchased substantially similar products or services to the respective first product or first service.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the click-through rate is measured for users having substantially similar demographic information or geographic location.

11. A system for positioning targeted sponsored content on a mobile communication facility, the system comprising one or more computers having computer readable mediums having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by one or more processors of the one or more computers, causes the system to perform the steps of:

receiving data corresponding to a transaction event having been conducted by a user and correlating the user with their associated mobile communication facility, wherein the transaction event includes transmission of data representative of a first product or a first service being purchased by the user;

selecting advertising content based at least upon a relevance between an advertisement for a second product or a second service and the purchased first product or first service in the transaction event, wherein the relevance is further based on information relating to compatibility of the advertising content, second product, or second service with the mobile communication facility; and

presenting the selected advertising content on a display of the mobile communication facility.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the relevance is further influenced by user characteristics.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the relevance is further influenced by a user history.
