Abstract
A system and method for facilitating, selecting, or otherwise providing access to electronic content and services. Access to the content and services may be provided in such a manner as to facilitate access to higher quality forms of the content. The higher quality forms of the content may relate to any number of characteristics associated with displaying, transmitting, compressing, securing, and/or otherwise manipulating the content to more suitable forms relative to another form.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, a request for content in a second definition format that is higher than a first definition format of the content;
- changing, based on the receiving the request for the content in the second definition format and subsequently accessing the content in the second definition format, a demographic associated with a user from a first demographic to a second demographic;
- determining, based on the second demographic, an advertisement associated with the content in the second definition format, wherein the advertisement is different from another advertisement associated with the content in the first definition format;
- and
- outputting, to a display device, the content in the second definition format and the advertisement associated with the content in the second definition format.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors configured to cause an apparatus to:
- receive a request for content in a second definition format that is higher than a first definition format of the content;
- change, based on receiving the request for the content in the second definition format and subsequently accessing the content in the second definition format, a demographic associated with a user from a first demographic to a second demographic;
- determine, based on the second demographic, an advertisement associated with the content in the second definition format, wherein the advertisement is different from another advertisement associated with the content in the first definition format;
- and
- output, to a display device, the content in the second definition format and the advertisement associated with the content in the second definition format;
- and
- a computing device configured to send the content in the second definition format.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed, cause a computing device to:
- receive a request for content in a second definition format that is higher than a first definition format of the content;
- change, based on receiving the request for the content in the second definition format and subsequently accessing the content in the second definition format, a demographic associated with a user from a first demographic to a second demographic;
- determine, based on the second demographic, an advertisement associated with the content in the second definition format, wherein the advertisement is different from another advertisement associated with the content in the first definition format;
- and
- output, to a display device, the content in the second definition format and the advertisement associated with the content in the second definition format.
