NEW YORK Microsoft is branching further from its core computer software business with the purchase of ScreenTonic, a company that helps advertisers run campaigns on mobile phones.

The purchase of the Paris-based company will add to Microsoft’s ad capabilities, which already include Web search, display ads and videogame placements.

Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.

ScreenTonic’s platform shows both text and display ads to mobile users, reporting data to advertisers on viewings and actions taken on the placements.
