Building a targeted mobile advertising system for location-based services

摘要

Over the years, mobile advertising has grown to become a technology that allows an advertiser to promote products or services to targeted users efficiently and effectively. This is because the ubiquitous nature of mobile devices can provide contextual information and allow users to demonstrate preferences. This study proposes a targeted mobile advertising system (TMAS) that works as a platform to provide both merchants and consumers with context-aware advertisements. The approach integrates the advantages of both mobile and targeted advertising to allow merchants to disseminate location-based targeted advertisements while providing pull-type and personalized advertisements for consumers. To demonstrate the TMAS, we build a platform to provide highly relevant advertising to consumers and to guarantee that advertisements have an equal opportunity of being presented to consumers.
