US 12,666,118 B2 · Distributing digital data in a distributed computing environment

Abstract

Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for distributing digital data. In some embodiments, a server receives a request to distribute digital data to be consumed by a plurality of users. The request indicates that the digital data is to be distributed based on a plurality of parameters and a plurality of resources. The digital data is associated with a digital file. The server identifies an opportunity to distribute the digital data based on a first parameter and a volume of installs of the digital file. Moreover, the server causes the digital data to be distributed such that the digital data is available to be output to the second set of devices using a set of resources based on a limit on resources for the opportunity and the first parameter.

Dependent claims

A computer implemented method for distributing digital data, the computer implemented method comprising:

receiving, by at least one computer processor, a request to distribute the digital data to be consumed by a plurality of users, wherein the digital data is associated with a digital file;
identifying a saturation value associated with the digital file on a first set of devices, wherein the saturation value indicates a volume of installs of the digital file on the first set of devices, and a higher saturation value indicates less likelihood of further installs of the digital file;
identifying an opportunity to distribute the digital data such that the digital data is available to be output to a second set of devices corresponding to the plurality of users based on the saturation value;
and
causing the digital data to be distributed such that the digital data is available to be output to the second set of devices based on the saturation value.

2 more elements

A system for distributing digital data, the system comprising:

one or more memories;
and
at least one processor each coupled to at least one of the memories and configured to perform operations comprising:
receiving a request to distribute the digital data to be consumed by a plurality of users, wherein the digital data is associated with a digital file;
identifying a saturation value associated with the digital file on a first set of devices, wherein the saturation value indicates a volume of installs of the digital file on the first set of devices, and a higher saturation value indicates less likelihood of further installs of the digital file;
identifying an opportunity to distribute the digital data such that the digital data is available to be output to a second set of devices corresponding to the plurality of users based on the saturation value;
and
causing the digital data to be distributed such that the digital data is available to be output to the second set of devices based on the saturation value.

5 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:

receiving a request to distribute digital data to be consumed by a plurality of users, wherein the digital data is associated with a digital file;
identifying a saturation value associated with the digital file on a first set of devices, wherein the saturation value indicates a volume of installs of the digital file on the first set of devices, and a higher saturation value indicates less likelihood of further installs of the digital file;
identifying an opportunity to distribute the digital data such that the digital data is available to be output to a second set of devices corresponding to the plurality of users based on the saturation value;
and
causing the digital data to be distributed such that the digital data is available to be output to the second set of devices based on the saturation value.
