In-network ad-targeting through WiFi AP virtualization

摘要

Traditionally, Ad-Targeting on the Internet has several limitations such as (1) depending on individual search engines, (2) performing data-mining only for web content and (3) providing advertisements as simple texts and images. We propose a new Ad-Targeting method using a virtualized WiFi access point in order to be able to (1) deal with data across multiple search engines, (2) perform more generic data-mining on ftp, smtp, etc., than just http texts and (3) utilize cache for advertising large content.
