Abstract

Technologies are provided for acquisition of an item or service based on a directed content campaign. Embodiments include a computing system that can detect selection of directed content presented at a user device. The directed content identifies a mobile application and an action that results in the item being granted. After installation of the mobile application, the computing system can receive a device identifier of the user device in response to execution of the mobile application. The computing system can then generate data identifying events within the mobile application. The computing system can determine, using the user activity data, that a particular one of those events corresponds to the action, and can then generate a message that identifies the action and the item or service. The message also includes address data for a user interface to obtain the item or service. The computing system can then cause the user device to present the message.

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

determining directed content to be sent to a mobile device associated with a user account, wherein the directed content prompts a user of the mobile device to install a mobile game and perform an action within the mobile game that results in a reward item being granted, wherein determining the directed content includes determining that an attribute of the user account satisfies an eligibility rule associated with the directed content, wherein the attribute includes at least one of a location associated with the user account or age of an end-user associated with the user account;
receiving, by a computing system comprising at least one processor, after determining the directed content includes determining that the attribute satisfies an eligibility rule associated with the directed content, an indication that the directed content presented at the mobile device has been selected, the indication including a device identifier of the mobile device and an identifier of the directed content;
sending, by the computing system, a user interface (UI) to the mobile device, the user interface with selectable content to install the mobile game;
causing the mobile game to be installed on the mobile device through a selection of the selectable content;
receiving, by the computing system, the device identifier and a game identifier of the mobile game based on the mobile device initiating execution of the mobile game;
receiving, by the computing system, user activity data identifying events within the mobile game;
determining, by the computing system, using the user activity data, that the user activity data corresponds to the action;
generating, by the computing system, a link to a reward checkout interface to obtain the reward item;
generating, by the computing system, a message identifying the action and the reward item, the message including the link;
sending, by the computing system, the message to the mobile device;
receiving, by the computing system, an indication of acceptance of the reward item;
and
sending, by the computing system, the reward checkout interface to the mobile device.

10 more elements

A computing system, comprising:

at least one processor;
and
at least one memory device having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the at least one processor, cause the computing system to:
receive an indication that directed content presented at a user device has been selected, the directed content identifying an application to install and an action within the application to perform that results in an item being granted;
determining, prior to receiving the indication that content presented at the mobile device has been selected, that at least one attribute of a user account with which the mobile device is associated satisfies a reward entitlement rule, wherein the attribute includes one of a location associated with the user account or age of an end-user associated with the user account;
receive a device identifier of the user device in response to the user device initiating installation of the application;
determine user activity data received from the application, the user activity data defining events associated with the device identifier and respective actions associated with execution of the application;
determine, using the user activity data, that a first event of the events corresponds to the action;
generate address data for a user interface to obtain the item;
generate a message identifying the action and the item, the message comprising the address data;
and
send the message to the user device.
