Abstract

A method, apparatus, and system related to relevancy improvement through targeting of information based on data gathered from a networked device associated with a security sandbox of a client device are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system may comprise a networked device, a relevancy-matching server, and a client device. The networked device may be configured to generate a preliminary data and/or a primary data associated with a user and automatically announce a sandbox-reachable service of the networked device to a discovery module. The relevancy-matching server may be configured to match a targeted data with the primary data based on a relevancy factor associated with the user. The client device may be configured to automatically process an identification data of the networked device and/or the sandbox-reachable service of the networked device from the discovery module and to automatically associate with the networked device based on the identification data.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a networked device to generate a preliminary data;

a relevancy-matching server to;

match primary data generated from the preliminary data with targeted data based on a relevancy factor, and

search a storage for targeted data;

wherein the primary data is any one of a content identification data and a content identification history;

a client device capable of being associated with the networked device to;

process an embedded object,

constrain an executable environment in a security sandbox, and

execute a sandboxed application in the executable environment; and

a content identification server to;

process the preliminary data from the networked device, and

communicate the primary data from the preliminary data to any of a number of devices with an access to an identification data of at least one of the networked device and an automatic content identification service of the networked device.

2. The system of claim 1:

wherein the preliminary data is any one of an audio fingerprint data and a video fingerprint data.

3. The system of claim 1:

wherein the relevancy-matching server is to match the targeted data with the primary data in a manner such that the relevancy-matching server is to search the storage for at least one of a matching item based on the relevancy factor and a related item based on the relevancy factor comprising at least one of a category of the primary data, a behavioral history of a user, a category of the sandboxed application, and an other information associated with the user.

4. The system of claim 1:

wherein a pairing server to;

associate the networked device with the client device,

receive an announcement from the networked device, and

process identification data of the announcement comprising at least one of a global unique identifier (GUID), an alphanumeric name, a hardware address associated with the networked device, a public address associated with the automatic content identification service of the networked device, and a private address associated with the automatic content identification service of the networked device when a shared network is determined to be commonly associated with the client device and the networked device.

5. The system of claim 1:

wherein the embedded object comprises at least one of a script, an image, a player, an iframe, and an other external media included in the sandboxed application.

6. The system of claim 1:

wherein the relevancy-matching server is to cause a rendering of the targeted data to a user through the sandboxed application of the client device.

7. The system of claim 1:

wherein the client device is determined to be associated with a user based on a unique identifier that is unlikely to change.

8. The system of claim 1:

wherein the primary data comprises at least one of a number of descriptive metadata associated with the content identification data, a monitored event, a geolocation, a weather information, a private Internet Protocol (IP) address, and an other data stored in at least one of a volatile memory and a non-volatile memory.

9. The system of claim 1:

wherein the networked device is to automatically announce the automatic content identification service of the networked device to a pairing server.

10. A method of a relevancy-matching server comprising:

matching primary data generated from a preliminary data with targeted data, based on a relevancy factor and to search a storage for targeted data using a processor communicatively coupled with a memory;

wherein the primary data is any one of a content identification data and a content identification history;
