I’m not sure how this would even count as innovation. Targeted ads have existed for longer than I would have liked. Fetching ads wirelessly, too. Facebook has been listening in on user conversations to inform ads for a while already. Navigation apps like Waze behave differently if you’re moving (like displaying a “don’t type while driving” if you enter a search while moving).
None of this is novel.
Though in this particular case, if a patent discourages a thing from being done to avoid license fees, this is one of the few cases I can think of where I support this.
Yeah wait, this would have been one of the only good uses for patent trolls. Instead of writing scifi books about the torment nexus we should have been patenting it.
