METHOD, APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR INFERRING DEVICE RENDERED OBJECT INTERACTION BEHAVIOR

The present disclosure relates to inferring device rendered object interaction behavior. An apparatus is configured to receive historical device rendered object interaction data associated with a client device. The historical device rendered object interaction data includes a plurality of records. Each record is associated with a device rendered object category. For each record, the device rendered object category is extracted. For each device rendered object category, a penalty value is generated. The penalty value is a programmatically generated predicted network time delay during which device rendered objects associated with the device rendered object category are not to be transmitted to the client device. A penalty decision, used to determine whether to apply the penalty value to future transmissions of device rendered objects to the client device, is generated.
