Virtual billboard display on a mobile device

A method comprising:

• receiving, at a computing device, a request from a mobile device over a network;
• determining, via the computing device, whether the request includes one or more of a search query and geo-location information;
• and
• when it is determined that the request includes the search query and excludes the geo-location information:
• generating a search result based on the search query;
• parsing the search results to determine a first geo-location;
• determining at least one virtual billboard associated with a location that is in proximity with the first geo-location derived from the search result;
• and
• communicating the at least one virtual billboard to the mobile device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium tangibly encoded with computer-executable instructions, that when executed by a processor associated with a computing device, performs a method comprising:

• receiving a request from a mobile device over a network;
• determining whether the request includes one or more of a search query and geo-location information;
• and
• when it is determined that the request includes the search query and excludes the geo-location information:
• generating a search result based on the search query;
• parsing the search results to determine a first geo-location;
• determining at least one virtual billboard associated with a location that is in proximity with the first geo-location derived from the search result;
• and
• communicating the at least one virtual billboard to the mobile device.

A computing device comprising:

• a processor;
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for tangibly storing thereon program logic for execution by the processor, the program logic comprising:
• receiving logic executed by the processor for receiving a request from a mobile device over a network;
• determining logic executed by the processor for determining whether the request includes one or more of a search query and geo-location information;
• and
• when it is determined that the request includes the search query and excludes the geo-location information:
• generating logic executed by the processor for generating a search result based on the search query;
• parsing logic executed by the processor for parsing the search results to determine a first geo-location;
• determining logic executed by the processor for determining at least one virtual billboard associated with a location that is in proximity with the first geo-location derived from the search result;
• and
• communication logic executed by the processor for communicating the at least one virtual billboard to the mobile device.
