Abstract

An example of a method includes receiving an input. The input includes at least one of a network bandwidth associated with an electronic device, a memory bandwidth associated with the electronic device, and a central processing unit (CPU) bandwidth associated with the electronic device. The method also includes determining, electronically, one or more advertisements based on at least one of the network bandwidth, the memory bandwidth, and the CPU bandwidth. In addition, the method includes providing, electronically, the one or more advertisements.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving an input, the input comprising at least one of a network bandwidth associated with an electronic device, a memory bandwidth associated with the electronic device, and a central processing unit (CPU) bandwidth associated with the electronic device;

determining, electronically, one or more advertisements based on at least one of the network bandwidth, the memory bandwidth, and the CPU bandwidth; and

providing, electronically, the one or more advertisements.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein determining the one or more advertisements comprises:

comparing the network bandwidth against a first threshold, the memory bandwidth against a second threshold and CPU bandwidth against a third threshold;

determining advertisements of first type as the one or more advertisements if the network bandwidth exceeds the first threshold, the memory bandwidth exceeds the second threshold and the CPU bandwidth exceeds the third threshold; and

determining advertisements of second type as the one or more advertisements if the network bandwidth does not exceed the first threshold, the memory bandwidth does not exceed the second threshold and the CPU bandwidth does not exceed the third threshold.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein providing the one or more advertisements comprises:

displaying the one or more advertisements.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 and further comprising:

storing the network bandwidth, the memory bandwidth and the CPU bandwidth corresponding to the electronic device.

5. A server comprising:

a communication interface;

a memory to store instructions; and

a processor coupled to the memory and the communication interface, and responsive to the instructions to

receive an input, the input comprising at least one of a network bandwidth associated with an electronic device, a memory bandwidth associated with the electronic device, and a central processing unit (CPU) bandwidth associated with the electronic device,

determine one or more advertisements based on at least one of the network bandwidth, the memory bandwidth, and the CPU bandwidth, and

provide the one or more advertisements.

6. The server as claimed in claim 5, wherein the server is electronically coupled to the electronic device to receive the input.

7. The server as claimed in claim 5, wherein the server is electronically coupled to a storage device, the storage device comprising the one or more advertisements.

8. An article of manufacture comprising:

a machine-readable medium; and

instructions carried by the machine-readable medium and operable to cause a programmable processor to perform;

receiving an input, the input comprising at least one of a network bandwidth associated with an electronic device, a memory bandwidth associated with the electronic device, and a central processing unit (CPU) bandwidth associated with the electronic device;

determining one or more advertisements based on at least one of the network bandwidth, the memory bandwidth, and the CPU bandwidth; and

providing the one or more advertisements.

9. The article of manufacture as claimed in claim 8, wherein determining the one or more advertisements comprises:

comparing the network bandwidth against a first threshold, the memory bandwidth against a second threshold and CPU bandwidth against a third threshold;

determining advertisements of first type as the one or more advertisements if the network bandwidth exceeds the first threshold, the memory bandwidth exceeds the second threshold and the CPU bandwidth exceeds the third threshold; and

determining advertisements of second type as the one or more advertisements if the network bandwidth does not exceed the first threshold, the memory bandwidth does not exceed the second threshold and the CPU bandwidth does not exceed the third threshold.

10. The article of manufacture as claimed in claim 8, wherein providing the one or more advertisements comprises:

displaying the one or more advertisements.

11. The article of manufacture as claimed in claim 8 and further comprising instructions operable to cause programmable processor to perform:

storing the network bandwidth, the memory bandwidth and the CPU bandwidth corresponding to the electronic device.
