Geotargeting in geomarketing and internet marketing is the method of determining the geolocation of a website visitor and delivering different content to that visitor based on their location. This includes country, region/state, city, metro code/zip code, organization, IP address, ISP or other criteria. A common usage of geo targeting is found in online advertising, as well as internet television with sites such as iPlayer and Hulu. In these circumstances, content is often restricted to users geolocated in specific countries; this approach serves as a means of implementing digital rights management. Use of proxy servers and virtual private networks may give a false location.
Geo-locating load balancing
Methods and apparatus are provided for geo-locating load balancing. According to one embodiment, a communication network architecture includes multiple servers, multiple load balancers, and multiple geographically dispersed communication devices. The servers provide services to the communication devices within the communication network. The load balancers each service a shared virtual Internet Protocol (IP) address common to all of the load balancers and perform load balancing of service requests on behalf of two or more of the servers that are located geographically proximate to the load balancer. The communication devices are communicatively coupled with the load balancers and are configured to issue service requests intended for any of the servers to the shared virtual IP address, whereby, upon issuing a service request, a communication device is directed to a particular server selected by a load balancing routine that is associated with a load balancer that is closest to the communication device.

Method and system for extracting and classifying geolocation information utilizing electronic social media
InactiveUS20130086072A1DistanceReduce “ noisy ” dataDigital data information retrievalDigital data processing detailsData ingestionGeotargeting
Methods, systems and processor-readable media for extracting and classifying location information utilizing social media messages and / or data thereof. The social media messages can be sampled from a social media database and the messages filtered based on a heuristic rule. A geolocation entity from the unstructured social media messages can be extracted utilizing a geolocation entity extracting module. The messages with the geoentities can be uploaded onto a crowd sourcing platform to manually annotate the messages with a label. A text classification model can be built and learned from the label utilizing a machine learning algorithm and the messages can be classified by a location classifier in order to extract the user location. The user location can then be transformed into a geocode so that a spatial search can be enabled and the distance between the locations can be easily calculated.

Network geo-location system
ActiveUS7200658B2Prevent address spoofing (forging)Multiple digital computer combinationsTransmissionGeotargetingIp address
A method for accurately determining the geographic location of a PC or other networked device on the Internet. Client software furnished by a service provider performs trace-route or other network analysis commands to known servers (e.g., eBay, Yahoo, Amazon) or even servers at random locations. The client collects an array of IP address and other network information as a result of the trace-routes, and the trace-route IP information is then transmitted to the service provider that is trying to identify the geographic location of the client. Using the array of IP addresses thus generated, the Internet server software can analyze location information of each Internet hop within each trace-route. For example, the server might look at the first five hops from the client to the server. If four of the five routers have addresses within the geographic area of interest, the server can conclude that the client is probably within the geographic area.

A framework is used for creating a geography fence based on geography mark items (such as a photo).The geography mark items can be used for sharing virtual boundary (such as a geography fence) between users via a conventional method sharing digital media (such as an e-mail). An extracting assembly is used for extracting geography positioning information (such as coordinates of latitude and longitude, elevation, direction, distance, and place name or the like) of the geography mark items. The geography positioning information may relate to geographic position performing geographic mark on the items. A boundary assembly then creates a virtual boundary (such as a geography fence) which relates to the geographic position and which is based on the geography positioning information. Thereafter, virtual boundary and attached action are activated when the user spans the boundary (such as connection, and cross). The mark items can be shared with another user, and when processed, the virtual boundary of the another user is created.
