In one embodiment, a method includes identifying a pre-determined number of items associated with one or more entities; transmitting item information associated with the pre-determined number of items to a client device; and determining that the client device is likely to enter a first entity of the one or more entities. The first entity is identified based on a physical proximity between the client device and the first entity. The method also includes accessing, based on the first entity, location-specific item information associated with one or more of the pre-determined number of items or one or more additional items; and transmitting the location-specific item information to the client device. The item information and the location-specific item information are configured to be used by the client device while the client device is within the first entity.

Systems and methods for efficient transmission of catalog data

Techniques to associate user data with a mobile device are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise a service support component and a storage component. The services support component may be operative to receive a data package request from a service, the data package request comprising a network identifier for a mobile device associated with a user, and exchange a data package with the service in response to the data package request. The storage component may be operative to access the data package associated with the user based on the network identifier. Other embodiments are described and claimed. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Techniques to associate user data with a mobile device

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a datafile and associated metadata, wherein the associated metadata has a reserved area of storage space and a known format, determining a sampled format for the associated metadata, wherein the sampled format creates available spaces within the reserved area of storage space, determining data to be embedded in the associated metadata, inserting the data to be embedded into a least one of the available spaces, and providing the datafile and the associated metadata with the inserted data.

Embedding information within metadata

An online system transmits third-party content originating from a third-party system to a client device. The third-party content includes a pointer to a third-party application associated with the third-party system. When the client device receives an interaction with the third-party content from a user of the client device, the client device executes the third-party application and generates an attribution identifier from which the user's identity cannot be determined. The attribution identifier is transmitted to the online system. Subsequently, the client device determines information describing interactions by the user with the third-party application that is transmitted to the third-party system along with the attribution identifier. The third-party system transmits the attribution identifier and the information describing interaction with the third-party application to the online system, which matches the attribution identifiers to associate the interaction with the third-party content with the interactions with the third-party application.
