A privacy protecting transaction engine for a cloud provider network is described. According to some embodiments, a computer-implemented method includes receiving a request from a customer of a cloud provider network to create a customer cloud in the cloud provider network, generating the customer cloud in the cloud provider network, receiving a first request at the cloud provider network for the customer cloud that includes private information of an end customer of the customer of the cloud provider network, removing the private information from the first request by a privacy protecting transaction engine of the cloud provider network to generate a second request, and sending the second request to the customer cloud for servicing.

Privacy protecting transaction engine for a cloud provider network

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods of presentation and management of audio and visual content across devices. Example methods may include causing presentation of first audio content at a speaker device, causing presentation of a first audio notification indicative of visual content available for presentation, causing presentation of second audio content after the first audio notification, and sending first visual content to a first display device for presentation during presentation of the second audio content.

Presentation and management of audio and visual content across devices

Techniques for generating an interactive and dynamically updated content stream are described herein. Data assets that correspond to video segments provided by a plurality of content providers may be maintained. A video segment may correspond to a first portion of a full video segment for a piece of content from the plurality of content providers. A content stream may be generated that includes video segments provided by the plurality of content providers based at least in part on the data assets. The content stream may be presented via an application. Second input may be received via the application during presentation of the content stream that corresponds to a navigation command for displaying different content. The content stream may be updated to at least one of removing certain video segments or adding new video segments to the content stream based at least in part on the second input.

Navigation integrated content stream

Devices and methods are provided for using an interactive wrapper for media content. A method may include identifying, by a first device, a software container including a call to action. The method may include identifying non-interactive advertising content. The method may include generating an interactive advertisement by adding the advertising content to the software container, and sending the interactive advertisement to a second device for presentation. The method may include receiving an indication of a user interaction with the interactive advertisement, and determining, based on the user interaction, an action. The method may include sending data associated with the action to the second device or a third device for presentation.

User interactive wrapper for media content

Disclosed are various embodiments for a placement bidding application. A list of items is generated. A position of an item within the list is determined according to a bid associated with the item and a display placement preference included with the bid. A number of items from the list are encoded for rendering in a user interface element or on a display of a client device. The number of items is based at least in part on a size limitation of the user interface element or the display of the client device.

Bid placement for ranked items

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for dynamically determining relative product performance using quantitative values. In one embodiment, an example method may include determining, by one or more computer processors coupled to at least one memory, a first product of a product catalog, determining a first set of actual performance values for the first product during a first time period, generating a first expected performance model based at least in part on a first set of product attributes for the first product and the first set of actual performance values, determining a first expected performance value for the first product based at least in part on the first expected performance model and the first set of product attributes, determining a first average actual performance value for the first product over the first time period based at least in part on the first set of actual performance values, and determining a first relative performance value for the first product based at least in part on the first average actual performance value and the first expected performance value.

Dynamically determining relative product performance using quantitative values

Supplemental content is selected or generated based at least in part upon colors of primary content with which the supplemental content is to be displayed. Color data is determined for primary content and that color data is used to select supplemental content that includes complementary or similar colors. Past performance data can be analyzed in order to determine which colors are most effective for a type of opportunity. When an opportunity arises to provide supplemental content, the effective colors can be recommended or, in some cases, automatically applied such that the supplemental content will include colors that improve the overall likelihood of performance of the supplemental content. If a designer is generating supplemental content, a tool can use such performance data to recommend colors based on the type of supplemental content or other such targeting criteria.

Color-based content determination

Described herein are techniques for providing information regarding brands of items offered for acquisition by an offering service. The items may comprise tangible or intangible goods, products (e.g., electronics, sporting goods, digital music, etc.), services, or the like. A brand, meanwhile, may refer to a name, term, design, symbol, or any other feature that distinguishes a designer, maker, manufacturer, seller or the like from other entities.

Providing brand information via an offering service

Disclosed are various embodiments for providing a live video stream with an interactive shopping interface. A live video stream and item information are obtained from another computing device. The item information indicates one or more items being featured in the live video stream. A user interface is rendered upon a display. The user interface includes the live video stream and a timeline interface indicating the items being featured during various segments in the live video stream.

Live video stream with interactive shopping interface

Disclosed are various embodiments for a placement bidding application. A collection of items is ranked according to relevance. A placement of an entry in the list is determined according to a bid to include the entry in a subset of the items presented to a user. The bid may be accepted according to a projected revenue generated for placement of the entry.

Personalized landing pages can be generated for users based at least in part upon information about the individual users who are viewing the landing pages. Such information may include, for example, the consumer segments to which the individual user belongs as well as the individual users' browsing and purchasing histories and personal preferences and attributes. The landing pages are personalized to include, for example, content that may be of particular interest to the user and arranged in a manner that may appeal to the user.

Personalized landing pages

Disclosed are various embodiments for providing a live video stream with an interactive shopping interface. A live video stream is obtained from a media server. Item information is obtained from the media server. The item information indicates one or more items being featured in the live video stream. A user interface is rendered upon a display. The user interface includes the live video stream and the item information indicating the items being featured in the live video stream.
