Abstract

A computer system that presents mobile communication facility data to a first and second bidder in real time by performing the steps of: (a) retrieving a first datum relating to a mobile communication facility user accessing an application from a provider; (b) retrieving a second datum relating to the same user accessing an application from a second provider; (c) storing the first and second data in a database; (d) presenting the data to a first and a second bidder; (f) receiving a bid from the first bidder, including: (i) a selection of the data; and (ii) a financial consideration; (g) receiving a bid from the second bidder, including: (i) a selection of the same data as the first bidder; and (ii) a financial consideration; (h) determining that the bid of the first bidder is greater than that of the second; and (i) delivering the data to the first bidder.

Claims

1. A system for presenting mobile communication facility data to a first and a second bidder in real time, 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:

(a) retrieving from a publisher a first geographic datum relating to a mobile communication facility user accessing a webpage;

(b) retrieving from a carrier a second geographic datum relating to the mobile communication facility user accessing a webpage;

(c) storing the first geographic datum and the second user geographic datum in a database;

(d) presenting the geographic data to a first and a second bidder;

(e) receiving in real time a bid from the first bidder, wherein the bid includes;

(i) a selection of the data; and

(ii) a financial consideration;

(f) receiving in real time a bid from the second bidder, wherein the bid includes;

(i) a selection of the same data as the first bidder; and

(ii) a financial consideration;

(g) determining in real time that the bid of the first bidder is greater than the bid of the second bidder; and

(h) delivering the geographic data to the first bidder.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the bidder is at least:

(a) an ad server;

(b) an advertiser;

or

(c) a third party.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the geographic datum includes a previous location.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the geographic datum includes a current location.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the geographic datum is determined according to geographic coordinates of a particular mobile communication facility.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the geographic coordinates are determined through GPS.

7. The system of claim 5, wherein the geographic coordinates are determined through triangulation.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the geographic datum is determined using WiFi.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the geographic datum is determined by a user entered location.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the geographic datum is a plurality of geographic regions.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the plurality of geographic regions include one or more states.

12. The system of claim 10, wherein the plurality of geographic regions include one or more cities.

13. The system of claim 1, wherein the geographic datum is determined according to a distance from a specified location.
