Patent Images
1. A computer implemented method comprising:
- displaying a content item associated with a content provider on a network accessible device, the content item provided to the network accessible device by a content item selector;
detecting a first distance between the network accessible device and a location associated with the content provider;
subsequently detecting a different, second distance between the network accessible device and the location associated with the content provider;
determining a change in distance between the first and second distances; and
storing data in a memory of the content item selector that associates the change in distance with the displayed content item.

Abstract
System and method for determining a first location of a network accessible device from a location associated with a content item provider when a content item is displayed thereon. A second location of the network accessible device from the location associated with the content item provider is also determined during a predetermined amount of time after the content item is displayed on the network accessible device. The method and system can also operate to determine data responsive to a change in distance between the first location and the second location. The data can then be provided a status value to be used by the content item selector.

9. An apparatus comprising:
-
a memory which stores a population of content items from content providers available to be provided to a network accessible device, the content item provided to the network accessible device by a content item selector; a location analysis engine adapted to determine a first distance of the network accessible device from a location associated with the content provider, determine a second distance of the network accessible device from the location associated with the content provider, determine a change in distance between the first distance and the second distance, and store data in a memory of the content item selector that associates the change in distance with the displayed content item, the second distance being the closest distance the network accessible device is to the location associated with the content provider during a predetermined amount of time after the content item is displayed on the network accessible device; and a second memory for storing the first distance, the second distance, the change in distance and the stored data associated with the change in distance with the displayed content item. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
