Abstract

A server device is configured to receive criteria that indicate when a microsite is to be provided to a user device. The user device is configured to obtain sensor data and user profile data and send the sensor data and the user profile data to the server device. The server device is configured to receive the sensor data and the user profile data, identify a relevant microsite, and provide information regarding the relevant microsite to the user device. In some cases, the service device is configured to identify that a particular microsite has been purchased by a user of the user device and provide information, to the user device, identifying that the particular microsite has been purchased.

Claims (44)

1. A method implemented by one or more processors, the method comprising:

causing rendering of a graphical interface that enables defining, of triggering criteria for a particular microsite, based on any one of multiple triggering criteria categories, the triggering criteria categories including a geographic location category, a time category, and a sound category;

receiving, in response to the graphical interface being rendered, a plurality of user interface inputs that define the triggering criteria for the particular microsite, the plurality of user interface inputs including a selection, via the graphical interface, of a representation of the time category, the triggering criteria comprising at least:

a time criterion, for the time category, that defines a time or time range;

assigning, in one or more databases, the triggering criteria to the particular microsite responsive to receiving the plurality of user interface inputs that define the triggering criteria;

subsequent to assigning the triggering criteria to the particular microsite:

determining occurrence of the triggering criteria for the particular microsite; and

in response to determining the occurrence of the triggering criteria:

obtaining particular sensor data, from a particular sensor, based on the particular sensor being defined as relevant to the particular microsite;

transmitting, via one or more communications interfaces and to a stored network address for the particular microsite, a request that includes the particular sensor data, wherein the request includes the particular sensor data based on the particular sensor being defined as relevant to the particular microsite;

in response to transmitting the request:

receiving, via one or more of the communications interfaces, microsite content that is based on the particular sensor data; and

transmitting, via one or more of the communications interfaces, the microsite content to cause the microsite content to be rendered on a client device of a user.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the particular sensor data is obtained independent of input of the user.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein transmitting the request is independent of input of the user.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the particular sensor is from an electronic device that is linked to the client device of the user, but is in addition to the client device of the user.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the microsite content includes embedded instructions.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the triggering criteria further comprise a date criterion that defines a particular day or particular day of the week.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the triggering criteria further comprise a geographic location criterion, for the geographic location category, that defines a geographic location.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the triggering criteria further comprise a sound criterion, for the sound category, that defines a particular sound being detected.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the triggering criteria further comprise a geographic location criterion, for the geographic location category, that defines a geographic location.

10. A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:

cause rendering of a graphical interface that enables defining, of triggering criteria for a particular microsite, based on any one of multiple triggering criteria categories, the triggering criteria categories including a geographic location category, a time category, and a sound category;

receive, in response to the graphical interface being rendered, a plurality of user interface inputs that define the triggering criteria for a the particular microsite, the plurality of user interface inputs including a selection, via the graphical interface, of a representation of the time category, the triggering criteria comprising at least:

a time criterion, for the time category, that defines a time or time range;

assign, in one or more databases, the triggering criteria to the particular microsite responsive to receiving the plurality of user interface inputs that define the triggering criteria;

subsequent to assigning the triggering criteria to the particular microsite:

determine occurrence of the triggering criteria for the particular microsite; and

in response to determining the occurrence of the triggering criteria:

obtain particular sensor data, from a particular sensor, based on the particular sensor being defined as relevant to the particular microsite;

transmit, via one or more communications interfaces and to a stored network address for the particular microsite, a request that includes the particular sensor data, wherein the request includes the particular sensor data based on the particular sensor being defined as relevant to the particular microsite;

in response to transmitting the request:

receive, via one or more of the communications interfaces, microsite content that is based on the particular sensor data; and

transmit, via one or more of the communications interfaces, the microsite content to cause the microsite content to be rendered on a client device of a user.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the particular sensor data is obtained independent of input of the user.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein transmitting the request is independent of input of the user.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the particular sensor is from an electronic device that is linked to the client device of the user, but is in addition to the client device of the user.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the microsite content includes embedded instructions.

15. The system of claim 10 , wherein the triggering criteria further comprise a date criterion that defines a particular day or particular day of the week.

16. The system of claim 10 , wherein the triggering criteria further comprise a geographic location criterion, for the geographic location category, that defines a geographic location.

17. The system of claim 10 , wherein the triggering criteria further comprise a sound criterion, for the sound category, that defines a particular sound being detected.

18. The system of claim 10 , wherein the triggering criteria further comprise a geographic location criterion, for the geographic location category, that defines a geographic location.
