AI summary

A bidding system for a mobile device includes a database module for selecting a target audience including a plurality of registered customers to deliver content, a streaming module connected to the database module for serving content to the plurality of registered customers, and a priority module connected to the streaming module for implementing a content delivery schedule. The database module assists a user in identifying a product or service to offer to the plurality of registered customers, assists the user in matching the product or service to the selected plurality of registered customers, and assists the user in designating an auction parameter applicable to the product or service offered. The streaming module delivers an auction notification to a registered customer via the mobile device. The registered customer enables the delivery of a content program including auction data to the mobile device according to a schedule implemented by the priority module.
