1. A method of employing a processor to enable actions for managing different types of click actions for a client device, the actions comprising:
- sending an advertisement to the client device;
receiving a response to the advertisement from the user;
in response to receiving the response to the advertisement;
retrieving data associated with a current context for a location factor and a time constraint for the client device;
determining a set of at least one of a plurality of different types of click actions to be provided to the client device, based on the retrieved data associated with the current context for the location factor, and the time constraint for the client device and a magnitude of a value that corresponds to a type for each click action;
sending a set of at least one link to the client device for display separate from the received advertisement and without having the set of at least one link displayed in a page, wherein each of the set of at least one link corresponding to a click action of the determined set of at least one type of click action;
receiving a request from the client device based on a selection of at least one link, the request including a specification of at least one click action of the set of at least one type of click action that corresponds to the selected link; and

Abstract
A device, system, and method are directed towards facilitating monetization of mobile devices. A click action server determines click actions that are to be sent to a client device based on one or more factors. The click actions are sent to the client device as links. An action handler receives requests indicating a selected action, and facilitates the performance of the action.

11. A system for managing communications with a client device, comprising:
-
a transceiver to send and receive data over the network; and a processor that is operative to perform actions, including; sending an advertisement to the client device; receiving a response to the advertisement from the user; in response to receiving the response to the advertisement; determining a set of at least one of a plurality of different types of click actions based on a current context for a location factor, and a time constraint for the client device and a magnitude of a value that corresponds to a type for each click action; sending a set of links for display separate from the received advertisement and without having the set of at least one link displayed in a page, each link representative of a click action of the determined set of at least one type of click action to the client device; receiving a request from the client device based on a selection of at least one link, wherein the request includes a selection of at least one click action of the set of at least one type of click action that corresponds to the selected link from the client device; and performing the selected at least one click action. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory processor readable storage medium of executable instructions that enable actions by a processor for facilitating a communication with a user of a mobile device, the actions comprising:
-
sending an advertisement to the client device; receiving a response to the advertisement from the user; in response to receiving the response to the advertisement; providing a mechanism for a third party to specify a set of different types of click actions to provide to the user; determining, based on a current context for a location factor, and a time constraint for the mobile device and a magnitude of a value that corresponds to a type for each click action, a subset of the set of different types of click actions, the subset including at least one type of click action of the set of different types of click actions; sending a click action for display separate from the received advertisement and without having the set of at least one link displayed in a page and corresponding to each of the subset of the determined set of different types of click actions to the user; receiving from the user at least one click action that corresponds to at least one of the subset of click action types; and performing the corresponding at least one click action. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
