Abstract
A network device receives selection of a widget, for execution at a set-top box (STB) associated with a customer, from multiple widgets stored at a server, where each of the multiple widgets includes a software application that the STB can execute to render graphics or images on a screen or to perform other functions associated with the STB. The network device analyzes information associated with the customer and the widget, and selects an ad for the customer based on the analysis, where the ad relates to a product or service available for purchase. The network device causes the selected widget and the selected ad to be delivered to the STB.
