First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for resolving a confidence factor used by a geo-targeting system, comprisingidentifying an impression demand for a time interval for a geographic location;
- estimating impression inventory for the geographic location during the time interval, wherein the impression inventory for the geographic location varies as a function of confidence factor; and
setting a threshold confidence factor used by a geo-targeting system during the time interval based on the impression inventory for the geographic location and the impression demand for the geographic location.

19. A method comprising
receiving a request for targeted content, wherein the request includes a user identifier; -
accessing a geo-targeting system for geographic location data associated with the user identifier, wherein the geographic location information comprises a geographic location and a confidence factor; qualifying the geographic location information by applying a threshold confidence factor corresponding to a geographic location to the confidence factor provided by the geo-targeting system; and accessing a data store of targeted content items, wherein one or more of the target content items is associated with a geographic targeting parameter; and selecting one or more target content items based at least in part on the qualified geographic location information and geographic targeting parameters associated with the one or more target content items. - View Dependent Claims (20)
