Abstract
A method, computer program product, and apparatus for determining improved data objects are provided. An example method receives a request for a renderable data object from a location source device associated with a user profile including instant location data. The method queries an explicit locations database and an implicit locations database and coranks this multisource locations data. The method compares the coranked locations with one or more object redemption locations of each renderable data object. The method determines a proximity score for each renderable data object and ranks each renderable data object based upon proximity score. The method then identifies a proximate data object having a minimum proximity score and transmits the proximate data object to the location source device.
