Abstract
In a computer apparatus, at least processor is arranged to determine values for two or more candidate advertisements. Based on the determined values, one of the candidate advertisements is selected. The selected advertisement is displayed on a user interface.
Claims17
A user device configured to display content while a computer implemented game application is running, said user device comprising:
- a user interface configured to display said computer implemented game and content;
- a receiver configured to receive, from a server, a plurality of candidate content;
- and
- at least one processor, said at least one processor configured to determine a respective candidate content value associated with a respective candidate content, the determining of a respective candidate content value comprising:
- determining for a first parameter having a plurality of options, a first value dependent on which first parameter option is currently applicable, said first parameter being a parameter associated with the respective candidate content;
- determining for at least one further parameter having a plurality of options, a respective further value dependent on which respective parameter option is current applicable, said at least one further parameter being a respective parameter associated with the computer implemented game;
- and
- using the first value and each respective further value to determine the respective candidate content value,
- wherein the at least one processor configured to select in dependence on said respective candidate content values one of said candidate content and the user interface is configured to display the selected candidate content.
The user device as claimed 2, wherein one or more of the one or more value determining algorithms comprises a decision tree.
A computer implemented method performed by a user device configured to display content while a computer implemented game application is running, the user device comprising a receiver, at least one memory, at least one processor, a user interface, and a display, which are configured to perform the method of:
- receiving, by the receiver of the user device, from a server, a plurality of candidate content;
- determining, by the at least one processor of the user device, a respective candidate content value associated with a respective candidate content, the determining of a respective candidate content value comprising:
- determining for a first parameter having a plurality of options, a first value dependent on which first parameter option is currently applicable, said first parameter being a parameter associated with the respective candidate content;
- determining for at least one further parameter having a plurality of options, a respective further value dependent on which respective parameter option is current applicable, said at least one further parameter being a respective parameter associated with the computer implemented game;
- and
- using the first value and each respective further value to determine the respective candidate content value,
- the method further comprising:
- selecting, by the at least one processor of the user device, in dependence on said respective candidate content values one of said candidate content;
- and
- displaying, by the user interface of the user device, the selected candidate content.
A computer readable non-transitory storage medium carrying one or more sequences of instructions which when run on at least one processor of a user device cause the following steps to be performed by the user device:
- receiving, by a receiver of the user device, from a server, a plurality of candidate content;
- determining, by the at least one processor of the user device, a respective candidate content value associated with a respective candidate content, the determining of a respective candidate content value comprising:
- determining for a first parameter having a plurality of options, a first value dependent on which first parameter option is currently applicable, said first parameter being a parameter associated with the respective candidate content;
- determining for at least one further parameter having a plurality of options, a respective further value dependent on which respective parameter option is current applicable, said at least one further parameter being a respective parameter associated with the computer implemented game;
- and
- using the first value and each respective further value to determine the respective candidate content value,
- the method further comprising:
- selecting, by the at least one processor of the user device, in dependence on said respective candidate content values one of said candidate content;
- and
- displaying, by the user interface of the user device, the selected candidate content while a computer implemented game application is running.
