BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0013] Figure 1 shows a diagram generally overviewing a mobile device display with pinpointed eye level tracking according to an embodiment of the disclosed technology.
[0014] Figure 2 shows the mobile device of Figure 1 with a touch gesture being performed according to embodiments of the disclosed technology.
[0015] Figure 3 is a high-level block diagram of a microprocessor device that may be used to carry out the disclosed technology.
[0016] A better understanding of the disclosed technology will be obtained from the following detailed description of embodiments of the disclosed technology, taken in conjunction with the drawings.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] References will now be made in detail to the present exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Certain examples are shown in the above-identified figures and described in detail below. In describing these examples, like or identical reference numbers are used to identify common or similar elements. The figures are not necessarily to scale and certain features and certain views of the figures may be shown exaggerated in scale or in schematic for clarity and/or conciseness.
[0018] Referring now to the figures, a collaborative online advertisement system is provided for targeting users based on comments read by the user. The system displays targeted advertisements to users based on users' interaction with certain reviews, comments, and/or ratings regarding a particular product or service offered online. The system is directed to using data regarding online reviews and user perusal of online reviews to create targeted advertisements (hereinafter referred to as "ads" or "advertisements"). The disclosed technology involves using an online tool on a mobile device to browse online stores that sells consumer products. The tool recognizes and consolidates user reviews written by previous buyers of the product or products. The tool takes into account different features of the reviews such as article/comment title, review characteristics and any ratings given to a product.
[0019] Referring now to Figure 1 , a diagram is depicted generally overviewing a mobile device display with pinpointed eye level tracking according to an embodiment of the disclosed technology. The mobile device 10 has a touch display 20 for displaying content and receiving touch gesture inputs. The display 20 may alternatively not have touch capability in which case another input/output interface would be employed by a user, such as a mouse & keyboard. The mobile device may be any computing device, including, but not limited to, a computer, a laptop, a tablet, a mobile phone, any other type of mobile device, a smart watch, any other type of wearable computer, DVD players, blu-ray players,
MP3 players, cable boxes, satellite television boxes, multi-media streaming devices, satellite television receivers, digital video and/or photo cameras, and so on.
[0020] A product web page and accompanying review 30 is displayed on the display 20 of the device 10. Presumably a user (not shown) is reading the review 30 based on the duration of time during which the user is on the product review site without scrolling. The shadowed dot 40 represents the particular user's line of sight on the display 20. That is, the dot 40 is the level at which the user typically reads text displayed on the device 10. This level may be obtained through observation of the user using one or more sensors such as a camera, the touch screen and/or other input mechanisms. Alternatively, this level may be calibrated by the user by way of a simple touch gesture. Thus, the user may simply press, when prompted, the portion of the screen where the user's eyes are focused when the user is reading.
[0021] A software tool or add-on device is installed on the mobile device or accessed remotely via a data network. Based on the user's preferred eye focus area, the tool uses OCR (optical text recognition) to read, store and analyze the portions of text on which the user is most interested. This is carried out by first stipulating an average duration during which the user stays on a given page without scrolling. Different factors such as text size, amount of text, sophistication of text, addition of images, and any other variables are taken into account in quantifying this
average. Once the average is determined, it is used as a benchmark by which future user actions are compared. Thus, if a user spends on average 2 minutes on a product review, but that same user spends 4 minutes on the product review for 'Product X', then it will be deemed that the user is more interested in Product X and/or the accompanying review.
[0022] Figure 2 shows the mobile device of Figure 1 with a touch gesture being performed according to embodiments of the disclosed technology. The gesture 50 is being performed by a finger 100 of the user. The gesture 50 may be used as an input mechanism for defining a preferred eye focus area for a user. In this example, the user presumably is a faster reader and focuses on a large portion of a webpage or text when browsing the web. As such, the user may use multiple touches or gesture motions to define this particular preferred focus area. [0023] The system uses this collected data regarding online reviews and user perusal of online reviews to create targeted advertisements (hereinafter referred to as "ads" or "advertisements"). Based on the keywords, the tool recognizes and consolidates user reviews written by previous buyers of the product or products. The tool takes into account different features of the reviews such as article/comment title, review characteristics and any ratings given to a product.
[0024] The tool is stored within the mobile device and may show sale items from an online store, wherein the online store provides a display area showing a list of past buyer comments of a given product, each comment being associated with at least one feature and a rating of the given product. The OCR component and a keyword generator continues to collect keywords from the list of past buyer comments that are most interesting to users. As a result, a target product generator on the device produces product advertisements that are displayed to the user through the display screen in view of the interests of the user as reflected by the received keywords of multiple levels. The advertisement may be, for example, a variation of a product for which the user is browsing reviews. This may occur if the user is spending a large duration of time reading a review which is pointing out a particular feature which may be missing in the product. As such, the advertisement may be directed to a similar product which employs the missing feature. This is merely one example of the endless possibilities for targeted ad display.
[0025] Referring specifically to the keyword aspect of the technology, the keywords are collected and stored by: i) measuring a duration of time spent reading a line of text at the preferred eye level position by the user by measuring how frequently the user scrolls down; ii) if time spent by the user on the line of text exceeds an average read time of the user, the words contained in the line of text are deemed to be comments of particular interest to the user; iii) categorizing the words
that are of particular interest to the user into keywords of multiple levels, which include: a) product level, b) feature level, and c) rating level; and/or; d) reporting the categorized keywords of multiple levels back to the collaborative online advertisement system .
[0026] In further embodiments, a target product identifier may be used by the mobile device. The identifier may use a camera or other peripheral sensor of the mobile device to capture sounds, imagery and/or movement in the vicinity of the device. For example, a capturing device may be configured to capture, in real-time, products that are in a vicinity of the mobile device that match identified criteria in the i) product level, ii) feature level, and iii) rating level. The existence of such products in the vicinity of the device may be brought to the attention of the user via a pop up or other message displayed on the device.
[0027] Figure 3 is a high-level block diagram of a microprocessor device that may be used to carry out the disclosed technology. The device 500 comprises a processor 550 that controls the overall operation of a computer by executing the reader's program instructions which define such operation. The reader's program instructions may be stored in a storage device 520 (e.g., magnetic disk, database) and loaded into memory 530 when execution of the console's program instructions is desired. Thus, the device 500 will be defined by the program instructions stored
in memory 530 and/or storage 520, and the console will be controlled by processor 550 executing the console's program instructions.
[0028] The device 500 may also include one or a plurality of input network interfaces for communicating with other devices via a network (e.g., the internet). The device 500 further includes an electrical input interface for receiving power and data. The device 500 also includes one or more output network interfaces 510 for communicating with other devices. The device 500 may also include input/output 540 representing devices which allow for user interaction with a computer (e.g., display, keyboard, mouse, speakers, buttons, etc.).
