Abstract
Methods and systems for presenting contextually relevant push content when a user is passively engaged with an application are described herein. The system detects that the user is engaged with an application on a device and monitors the user's level of engagement with the application. If the system determines that the user is passively engaged, the system prepares to insert push content into the current output. The system identifies a region on the current output into which to insert push content, for example a region unoccupied by content or a particular object. The system identifies a context of the current output and selects a push content item based on the context of the current output. Then, the system inserts the push content item into the empty region on the current output.
