MONETIZING IMAGES IN PUBLISHING NETWORKS
First Claim
1. A method performed by one or more computing devices, the method comprising:
- receiving, using the one or more computing devices, image data associated with a first user identifier, the image data defining an image that depicts, in part, an object associated with an advertiser;
receiving, at the one or more computing devices, a definition of a bounded region in which the object is located, the bounded region being a sub-portion of an entire portion of the image;
receiving, at the one or more computing devices, an association of the image data with the advertiser;
providing the image data for presentation on a user device associated with a second user identifier that is different from the first user identifier;
receiving, at the one or more computing devices, from the user device associated with the second user identifier, selection data indicating a selection of the image within the sub-portion of the image; and
in response to receiving the selection data, crediting an account associated with the first user identifier.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for monetizing images in publishing networks. In one aspect, a method includes receiving image data associated with a first user identifier. The image data can define an image that depicts, in part an object associated with an advertiser. A definition of a bounded region in which the object is located can be received, where the bounded region is a sub-portion of the image. The image data can be associated with an advertiser. The image data can be provided for presentation on a user device associated with a second user identifier. Selection data indicating a selection of the image within the sub-portion of the image can be received. In response to receiving the selection data, an account associated with the first user identifier can be credited.

14. A system, comprising:
-
a processing apparatus; a memory storage apparatus in data communication with the data processing apparatus, the memory storage apparatus storing instructions executable by the data processing apparatus and that upon such execution cause the data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising; receiving image data associated with a first user identifier, the image data defining an image that depicts, in part, an object associated with an advertiser; receiving a definition of a bounded region in which the object is located, the bounded region being a sub-portion of an entire portion of the image; receiving an association of the image data with the advertiser; providing the image data for presentation on a user device associated with a second user identifier that is different from the first user identifier; receiving, from the user device associated with the second user identifier, selection data indicating a selection of the image within the sub-portion of the image; and in response to receiving the selection data, crediting an account associated with the first user identifier. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer storage medium encoded with a computer program, the program comprising instructions that when executed by data processing apparatus cause the data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving image data associated with a first user identifier, the image data defining an image that depicts, in part, an object associated with an advertiser; receiving a definition of a bounded region in which the object is located, the bounded region being a sub-portion of an entire portion of the image; receiving an association of the image data with the advertiser; providing the image data for presentation on a user device associated with a second user identifier that is different from the first user identifier; receiving, from the user device associated with the second user identifier, selection data indicating a selection of the image within the sub-portion of the image; and in response to receiving the selection data, crediting an account associated with the first user identifier. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23)
