MODIFYING REDISTRIBUTION SETS OF USERS BASED ON EXPIRATION TIME
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a redistribution set including a plurality of present users to whom selected content is presentable for a pre-defined duration, wherein a plurality of past users who were included in the redistribution set have previously been removed from the redistribution set based on an expiration of the pre-defined duration;
detecting a modification to the pre-defined duration;
in response to detecting the modification, modifying the redistribution set of users to include one or more past users or to exclude one or more present users resulting in a modified redistribution set of users; and
using the modified redistribution set of users to target content to the plurality of present users in the modified redistribution set.

Abstract
Methods, computer-readable media, and systems for modifying redistribution sets of users based on expiration time. A redistribution set including multiple present users to whom selected content is presentable for a pre-defined duration is received. Multiple past users who were included in the redistribution set have previously been removed from the redistribution set based on an expiration of the pre-defined duration. In response to detecting a modification to the pre-defined duration, the redistribution set of users is modified to include one or more past users or to exclude one or more present users. The redistribution set thus modified is used to target content to users in the modified redistribution set.

15. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving a redistribution set including a plurality of users to whom selected content is presentable for a pre-defined duration; upon an expiration of the pre-defined duration, excluding a subset of the plurality of users from the redistribution set; receiving a new duration for which the selected content is presentable to users in the redistribution set, wherein the new duration is greater than the pre-defined duration; identifying one or more users from users in the subset to whom the selected content is presentable based on a difference between the new duration and the pre-defined duration; including the identified one or more users in the redistribution set resulting in a modified redistribution set; and using the modified redistribution set to target content to the plurality of users in the modified redistribution set. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A system comprising:
-
a first computer-readable memory storing a redistribution set including a plurality of present users to whom selected content is presentable for a pre-defined duration; a second computer-readable memory storing the redistribution set and a plurality of past users who were included in the redistribution set and have previously been removed from the redistribution set based on an expiration of the pre-defined duration; data processing apparatus; and a computer-readable medium storing computer program instructions executable by the data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising; detecting a modification to the pre-defined duration; in response to detecting the modification, modifying the redistribution set of users stored in the first computer-readable memory to include one or more past users stored in the second computer-readable memory or to exclude one or more present users stored in the first computer-readable memory resulting in a modified redistribution set of users; storing the modified redistribution set of users in the first computer-readable memory in place of the redistribution set of users; and utilizing the modified redistribution set of users to target content to the plurality of present users in the modified redistribution set. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)
