Abstract
Information about an environmental condition of a remote device is received, the environmental condition being determined based on a signal output from a sensor of the remote device or a sensor coupled to the remote device. An advertisement is identified based on the environmental condition, and the advertisement is provided to the remote device.
Claims23
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, from a computing device, a search request comprising (i) information about a first environmental condition of the computing device, and (ii) one or more search terms;
- parsing the search request;
- selecting, from the search request based on parsing, the information about the first environmental condition;
- identifying an advertisement based on the first environmental condition and at least one of the one or more search terms;
- providing the advertisement to the computing device;
- receiving one or more of an audio signal, an image signal, or a video signal from a sensor of the computing device;
- and
- determining a second environmental condition based on the one or more of the audio signal, the image signal, or the video signal.
