Abstract

Exemplary embodiments provide a campaign tool that enables content providers to bid for the opportunity to transmit their content mobile devices associated with consumers though a cloud based computing environment. The campaign tool is hosted by another entity. The content may be any of a variety of different contents types and may be tailored to be relevant to the consumer. The campaign tool may have a bidding system that implements one or more algorithms to manage the bidding process. The content is pushed to the mobile device following an affirmative action, such as an NFC tap, by the consumer.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving, by at least one computer processor, a proposal, from an entity, to provide content to one or more mobile devices;

evaluating the proposal against a set of pre-determined criteria;

electronically providing a first determination regarding an approval of the proposal;

receiving, by the at least one computer processor, a bid to provide the content to the one or more mobile devices;

evaluating the bid using one or more algorithms;

electronically providing a second determination regarding an approval of the bid; and

receiving, by the at least one computer processor, the content for distribution to the one or more mobile devices.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the proposal is not approved.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a second proposal from the entity following the proposal not being approved.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more algorithms evaluate the bid against a set of criteria comprising one or more of:

bid value, consumer ratings of similar content or previous content from the entity, a marketing segment to which the content is directed, and a time frame for delivery of the content.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a profile from the entity that comprises a target audience to receive the content.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the profile is received coincident with the bid.

7. The method of claim 5, wherein the profile further comprises a delivery window for the content.

8. The method of claim 1, comprising:

receiving, electronically, over a network, a data packet from a mobile device of the one or more mobile devices, wherein the mobile device is communicatively coupled to the network and the data packet is transmitted from the mobile device following an action involving the mobile device;

analyzing, by the at least one computer processor, the data packet wherein the data packet comprises information about an identity of the mobile device and a geographic location of the mobile device;

selecting, by the at least one computer processor, content from one or more content providers based on the analysis of the data packet; and

providing, over the network, the content to the mobile device.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

receiving, by the at least one computer processor, registration information from a user of the mobile device, wherein the registration information comprises an opt-in to receive the content and a profile of the user.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the selected content is selected based on the profile of the user.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein the action comprise an NFC tap.

12. A system, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory comprising computer-readable instructions which when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform the steps comprising;

receiving a proposal, from an entity, to provide content to one or more mobile devices;

evaluating the proposal against a set of pre-determined criteria;

providing a first determination regarding an approval of the proposal;

receiving a bid to provide the content to the one or more mobile devices;

evaluating, using one or more algorithms, the bid;

providing a second determination regarding an approval of the bid; and

receiving the content for distribution to the one or more mobile devices.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the proposal is not approved.

14. The system of claim 12, further comprising:

receiving a second proposal from the entity following the proposal not being approved.

15. The system of claim 12, the one or more algorithms evaluate the bid against a set of criteria comprising one or more of:

bid value, consumer ratings of similar content or previous content from the entity, a marketing segment to which the content is directed, and a time frame for delivery of the content.

16. The system of claim 12, further comprising:

receiving a profile from the entity that comprises a target audience to receive the content.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the profile is received coincident with the bid.

18. The system of claim 16, wherein the profile further comprises a delivery window for the content.

19. The system of claim 12, further comprising:

receiving a data packet from a mobile device of the one or more mobile devices, wherein the mobile device is communicatively coupled to the network and the data packet is transmitted from the mobile device following an action involving the mobile device;

analyzing the data packet wherein the data packet comprises information about an identity of the mobile device and a geographic location of the mobile device;

selecting content from one or more content providers based on the analysis of the data packet; and

providing the content to the mobile device.

20. The system of claim 19, further comprising:

receiving registration information from a user of the mobile device, wherein the registration information comprises an opt-in to receive the content and a profile of the user.

21. The system of claim 20, wherein the selected content is selected based on the profile of the user.

22. The system of claim 19, wherein the action comprise an NFC tap.
