It is contemplated that it can be extended to provide intelligent platforms, engines, systems, and methods. Accordingly, the present invention is intended to include all such extensions. Reference will now be made in detail to various exemplary and exemplary embodiments of the invention.

  FIG. 1 depicts an exemplary computer system 100 for use in accordance with the systems and methods described herein. Computer system 100 is capable of executing software such as an operating system (OS) and various computing applications 190. The operation of the exemplary computer system 100 is primarily computer readable, such as a hard disk drive (HDD) 115, an optical disc (not shown) such as a CD or DVD, a solid state drive (not shown) such as a USB “thumb drive”, etc. It is controlled by computer readable instructions, such as instructions stored on a possible storage medium. Such instructions may be executed within central processing unit (CPU) 110 to cause computer system 100 to perform operations. In many known computer servers, workstations, personal computers, etc., the CPU 110 is implemented by an integrated circuit called a processor.

  Although the exemplary computer system 100 is shown as including a single CPU 110, it is understood that such description is merely illustrative because the computer system 100 can include multiple CPUs 110. . In addition, the computer system 100 may utilize the resources of a remote CPU (not shown), for example through the communication network 170 or some other data communication means.

  During operation, the CPU 110 fetches, decodes, and executes instructions from a computer-readable storage medium such as the HDD 115. Such instructions can be included in software such as an operating system (OS), executable programs, and the like. Information such as computer instructions and other computer readable data is transferred between components of computer system 100 via the main data transfer path of the system. The primary data transfer path may use the system bus architecture 105, but other computer architectures such as architectures that use serializers and deserializers and crossbar switches to communicate data between devices via serial communication paths. (Not shown) can be used. The system bus 105 may include a data line for transmitting data, an address line for transmitting addresses, a control line for transmitting interrupts and operating the system bus. Some buses provide bus arbitration that coordinates access to the bus by expansion cards, controllers, and CPU 110. A device that attaches to a bus and arbitrates access to the bus is called a bus master. Bus master support also allows a multiprocessor configuration of the bus to be created with the addition of a bus master adapter that includes a processor and support chips.

  Memory devices coupled to the system bus 105 may include random access memory (RAM) 125 and read only memory (ROM) 130. Such memory includes circuitry that allows information to be stored and read. ROM 130 generally contains stored data that cannot be modified. Data stored in the RAM 125 can be read or changed by the CPU 110 or other hardware devices. Access to RAM 125 and / or ROM 130 may be controlled by memory controller 120. The memory controller 120 may provide an address translation function that translates virtual addresses into physical addresses when instructions are executed. The memory controller 120 may provide a memory protection function that isolates processes in the system and isolates system processes from user processes. Thus, a program operating in user mode can usually access only the memory mapped by its own process virtual address space, and the virtual address space of another process unless memory sharing between processes is set up. Cannot access the memory inside.

  In addition, the computer system 100 may include a peripheral controller 135 that is responsible for communicating instructions from the CPU 110 to peripheral devices such as the printer 140, keyboard 145, and mouse 150 using the peripheral bus. An example of a peripheral bus is a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus.

  The display 160 controlled by the display controller 155 can be used to display visual output and / or presentation generated by or on demand of the computer system 100. Such visual output can include, for example, text, graphics, animated graphics, and / or video. Display 160 may be implemented using a CRT-based video display, an LCD-based flat panel display, a gas plasma-based flat panel display, a touch panel, or the like. Display controller 155 includes the electronic components required to generate a video signal that is transmitted to display 160.

  Furthermore, the computer system 100 can include a network adapter 165 that can be used to couple the computer system 100 to an external communication network 170 that can include or provide access to the Internet. Communication network 170 may provide user access to computer system 100 using means for electronically communicating and transferring software and information. In addition, communication network 170 may provide a number of computers and distributed processing with sharing of workloads or collaborative efforts in performing tasks. It will be appreciated that the network connections shown are exemplary and other means of establishing a communications link between the computer system 100 and the remote user may be used.

  The exemplary computer system 100 is only illustrative of a computer environment in which the systems and methods described herein can operate, and the inventive concepts described herein use various components and configurations. Thus, it is understood that the implementation of the systems and methods described herein in a computer environment having different components and configurations is not limited as it can be implemented in various computer environments.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the computer system 100 can be deployed within a networked computer environment 200. In general, the above description of computer system 100 applies to servers, clients, and peer computers deployed in a network environment, such as server 205, laptop computer 210, and desktop computer 230. FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary illustrative network computer environment 200 in which a server is in communication with a client computer and / or a communication device via a communication network in which the apparatus and methods described herein may be employed. To do.

  As shown in FIG. 2, server 205 includes laptop computer 210, wireless mobile phone 215, wired phone 220, personal digital assistant 225, user desktop computer 230, and / or other communication enabled devices (not shown).

  In general, the advertising activities that have the highest impact on the desired consumer base (hereinafter also referred to as “advertising” or “creative”) are those that have specific product knowledge or specific industry knowledge of the recommender, Recommendations, sponsorships or partnerships from these individuals, entities, etc. that target consumers seek guidance, such as based on fame, typically respect given to a particular recommender or sponsor, and other similar factors It is allowed to include. In addition, the easiest way to sell advertising time or a block of advertising time is that the advertising time purchased by a particular advertiser includes recommendations for that particular advertiser's product or service brand in it Relay to the advertiser that it will be used in connection with the audiovisual work they have. As used herein, such a recommendation is a representation of the use of a particular product or service by an actor, actress, or subject in an audiovisual work, a particular type of product or service in an audiovisual work. It may include references to needs or actual recommendations for use of the product in audiovisual works.

  The recommendation can be limited in some way, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Such restrictions are geographical restrictions on the use of a particular product (partially national recommendations result in a single recommended fee, and in general iterative collection of many lower fees for many regional recommendations. Recommenders are likely to make regional recommendations in various locations rather than nationally), or the same recommendation from different products or different industries (such as within different geographic regions) It may include restrictions on the use of recommendations in a particular industry that may be recommended by a person, or restrictions on recommendations only for a specific field or type of product, not a specific product brand. In addition, recommendations by a particular recommender are limited to products, product or service brands, product or service types, etc. that are approved by one or more entities that are external to, but affiliated with, a particular recommender. obtain. For example, the National Football League may allow the player to recommend only certain products, product brands, product types, etc., also recommended by the NFL.

  More specifically, as used herein, recommendations may include the following: An individual or brand places another product or service on the market to improve the marketability of other products or services Recommendations or sponsorships that can be used for; a short-term relationship between different products or services being employed to improve the marketing of each respective product or service; over time, consumers typically Brand affinity built around a long-term relationship between different products or services to allow one brand's affinity with another brand within another industry, based on placement.

  Currently, the need for a platform or engine to be able to get recommendations or recommended ads in any of the above situations from a specific individual, specific entity, affinity brand, marketing partner, or sponsor There is. In the present invention, a recommended advertising engine 10 such as that illustrated in FIG. 3 may be used by a repository 12 that provides integration of media assets 14 and media assets without the need for media assets for authorization, A brand association or recommendation engine 20 that can match media assets from the repository with the creative / advertising 22, and a distribution engine 26, according to brand affinity, by user request, or otherwise, Integrating the requested advertisement 22 with the media asset 14 from the repository 12, performing a late combination of the advertisement 22 and the media asset 16 when delivered to the most powerful target consumer, and the repository To the advertiser or ad server from the ad 22 and the dynamic media asset. Delivery of the door 16 (advertiser or ad server, then, to me for a mash-up of advertising and media assets) is possible. Needless to say, the aforementioned engines may be included in the present invention in any combination of one or more engines. The advertisement request 22 can be created via an “advertisement wizard” that uses an advertisement template, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art.

  The repository is all these players, including statistics, videos, and photos of these players affiliated with the names of these players, in addition to any recommended restrictions on past and current players in Major League Baseball Store information such as a brand and usage rules associated with it in a common database. The repository can include media assets that can be associated with audiovisual works. Repositories may be reused for other purposes, including symbols, emblems, taglines, photos, videos, press releases, publications, web links, web links to external content, and photos, voice, and video Media, such as competitors running in front of a blue screen, which can be reused for other purposes by the placement of the background over the blue screen. The repository may also include exclusions, inclusions, or preferences 50 associated with the brand for the use of specific items of information associated with the brand or brand within the repository. Such inclusion, exclusion, or preference may include geographical restrictions on certain information items or recommendations, product restrictions, preferred partners for recommendations, products or product types, and the like. Of course, an exclusion may be necessary if the requested recommendation violates an existing recommendation agreement, etc. of the requested brand with competitors.

  Further, media assets in the repository may be marketed using different payment schemas 52 based on the media asset requester. For example, if the ad requester is a school and the requested creative is not an advertisement that sells something, the media asset may be available for free use. Such exceptions can be made with respect to payments at any level of payment variation, such as between any number of different user types, such as non-profit, for-profit, individual, business, home, business, etc. In addition, for example, the icon of a favorite football player can be requested by a non-profit individual for home use and then superimposed on a live football program on that individual's television for free on that individual .

  The brand association and recommendation engine 20 assesses the most sensible recommendations for a particular advertising activity based on a number of factors including external factors. For example, such a brand association engine may determine an appropriate match by assessing inclusion and exclusion based on the aforementioned factors in a repository such as geography, but in addition, the engine may determine that any two brands Brand associations for (brands that already show brand affinity have the highest percentage of associations, and the brand that will make the most sensible associations will also have a higher percentage of matches for brand associations. Stored or external information and / or variable factors can be used to make a match with a recommended brand based on the target consumer of the requested brand.

  For example, a “profile” 60 can be created in a repository for a particular brand. Such a profile may include any of a myriad of information, both stored in a repository and having an external reference from within the repository to the outside of the repository, typical users of that brand Psychological profile of (including such user values, motivations, desires, and needs, which can be assessed based on inferences from online, credit card, or television use by these users, for example) , Brand profiles that include target consumers, target affiliation profiles (eg, sharing marketing costs, increasing brand awareness within certain geographies or areas of use, distribution channel access, rapid market entry, or improved brand perception, etc. Including, but not limited to, reasons for the desired alliance Una profile in order to create the best match can be used as a media asset by the recognition engine. As an additional example, polling provides a regional or national focus and can be maintained in a repository as an associated media asset with a particular brand, with the best match for a brand according to such polling results. Can be selected. For example, a “flashy” personality may be the best match for a brand offer in Los Angeles, but a different competitor's recommendation may preferentially sell that brand in the Midwest. Such information, including “attractive people” or places where the brand is “attractive”, can be associated with media assets related to that brand in the repository and thus can be used by the recommendation engine to make matches .

  Thus, the recommendation engine may passively or actively inform the best recommended match for a particular user's advertisement based on any number of factors. When assessing a good match for a requested brand, a user of the present invention may have a match option presented to the user for selection by the recommendation engine, or the user may simply It may have the best match selection made. Needless to say, bids for advertising activities may vary based on the match obtained by the recommendation engine and / or the likelihood of success that the posted advertisement will be successful. The success may, of course, vary in different circumstances and may include consumers making online or in-store purchases, users filling in online or offline forms, consumers accessing and downloading information or coupons, and the like.

  The distribution engine 26 may integrate the requested advertisement with the media asset from the repository according to the action by the recommendation engine, and place the particular advertisement in an environment that it considers best for that advertisement (the website requests an advertisement). (For example, in the case of a redirect where the best ad can be served in response to an ad request), and lately combining the ad and media assets to deliver to the most powerful target consumer (consumption Advertiser's requested IP address and / or reference site information is available immediately before ad delivery, etc., with improved late tracking for improved ad targeting, etc.) or advertiser from repository Or, the ad server can deliver static ads and dynamic media assets (the advertiser or ad server can then Tsu mash up to me independently of the door). Needless to say, the bid for advertising time may vary depending on the delivery mechanism used.

  Improved late tracking for improved ad targeting can be enabled through the delivery engine 26, and during or after interaction with the delivery engine 26, with or without interaction, Greater efficiency will be possible. Efficiency can be obtained, for example, by tracking data intelligence for use with creative delivery. As a non-limiting example, data intelligence may include click-through rate, post-click conversion rate, post-impression activity, and geography, demographic, and broadcast time segment information. The collected data intelligence can be used as an individual property together with each other to form or generate the level of intelligence needed to achieve the desired efficiency. As a further example, data intelligence may also include information regarding the number of impressions received by the advertisement and / or the elapsed time between impressions or clicks. In addition, data intelligence should be posted but not posted, such as available ad slots on online, television, radio, etc. where competitors or competing products or services are listed. May contain information about sensitive advertisements or creatives. Thereby, data intelligence provides a re-evaluation of value and thus allows advertisers to not miss an optimal opportunity more than once.

  Thus, utilizing data intelligence allows distribution engine 26 to target new targets and optimize the equivalent of past targets. Optimization may include, for example, time and efficiency of control over redundancy and advertising targeting. Optimization takes into account certain factors such as demographics and geography, for example, to allow for the prediction of estimated impressions or clicks that may be received by, for example, certain advertisements or creatives, or received by similar past advertisements . Prediction can also be made in terms of paid search efficiency and / or further contrasted with, for example, display advertising. Such information, such as derived from data intelligence, may also allow for higher success rates associated with redundant ad placements based on, for example, the previous behavior of a particular viewer. The same may apply to avoiding redundancy, for example, when data intelligence can be used, for example, to avoid repeatedly reaching a viewer with a low click-through rate for an advertisement or creative. Redundancy avoidance can also include avoiding competing advertisements or creatives regardless of whether they are posted for the same entity. For example, data intelligence can determine the exposure earned by advertisers who place in such profits, based on the number of “avails” of Golden Time television characters wearing sports jerseys and Nielsen ratings. Can be monitored. Thus, data intelligence may suggest the optimal value of listing in such profits for sports jersey merchants for the future of such profits.

  The delivery engine 26 may also choose to deactivate and / or modify a creative based on data intelligence and / or user instructions. The distribution engine may include offline performance, such as on television. As a non-limiting example, data intelligence can be collected from several advertisements or creative types across any number of different media formats, further refined based on the allocation of impressions and clicks on the various media formats. Optimization, and ultimately enable delivery. Media formats can include, but are not limited to, the Internet, television, radio, mobile devices, kiosks, billboards, product placements, and printing. As a further non-limiting example, data intelligence collected while streaming creatives on the radio can achieve the role of advertising on the Internet, for example. Distribution engine 26 may additionally allow interaction between data intelligence and real-time metrics or community-based information. This real-time intelligence collection can also be used to calibrate multiple advertising or creative campaigns. As a non-limiting example only, campaigns with several creative versions are measured based on collected data intelligence and are best suited to improve clickthrough and / or audience / listener, for example Can be Thus, such optimization can be performed across multiple media types in real time. Optimization, as a further non-limiting example, requires the addition of an ad or creative that is not currently in the campaign, and therefore what type of ad or creative, regardless of whether the ad or creative is in inventory Can be suggested for optimization.

  Advertising and creative optimization increases the value of advertising and creative inventory, and may provide greater value before and after delivery, for example. Data intelligence can also allow real-time assessments based on existing and forecasted profits, thus maximizing the value of the final posted ad or ad / creative inventory. Value can also be maximized for premium and non-premium content. Functionality within distribution engine 26 may also allow variable rate sampling and frequency cap prediction.

  Since bids for advertising time in the present invention can vary as discussed above, the present invention provides an advertising auction where bids are sought for a particular location, time, or block of advertisements. Useful for type placement. Auctions may be held online, for example, and may be categorized by advertising media broadcaster type (ie, television, internet, etc.), advertising product type, or in any similar manner.

  Further, the present invention may facilitate asset, creative, and / or product placement on various display media. More specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, distribution engine 26 may facilitate the placement of brands in various media through the aforementioned profit market offered for sale. This market unites both advertisers and media owners and enables product matching with the appropriate listings offered for sale by media owners within the created media. The created media may include, for example, television, movies, music, advertisements, video games, software products, online content, and events.

  In general, product placement, as referred to within the industry, is a “benefit” as discussed herein and promotes brand recall, sensation, and purchase intent. Placements can include visual benefits, including prop usage and background placement within the created media as well as within the dialogue references. The present invention provides media owners, studios, production companies, and “non-mass media advertising” production staff (collectively “media owners”), marketers, product placement agencies, and advertising agencies (collectively). To “Placement Owner”). The ability of media owners and placement owners to participate in the real-time market where assets can be purchased and sold provides a more efficient exchange of assets and reduces asset value by reducing transaction costs. May provide better opportunities to leverage.

  In embodiments of the present invention, placements offered for sale may themselves be considered assets in the present invention. In conjunction with the brand association and recommendation engine 20, the present invention may, for example, associate a product with a placement and ultimately deliver, for example, through a distribution engine 26. For example, an owner of a placement within a television program may offer at least one placement for sale within the program at a particular point in the designated program. For example, a value may be assigned to a placement based on the type of placement provided and the number of views that the placement is expected to receive. The purchaser or media owner may review the placement parameters and purchase the placement for use with a particular asset. If the placement is not fully understood through text descriptions or visual cues, the placement can be reviewed by the media owner before or after final approval of the placement occurs with or without the use of the asset .

  Further, the present invention can track various metrics around the placement before and after the placement. Such a metric may allow for improved value determination of offered placements, for example, allowing various payment options between media owners and placement owners. Metrics tracked for this purpose include, for example, audience ratings, demographic responses, independent broadcast rights, media content and / or genre, and delivery on which the media is based or likely to be viewed or listened to It can be a method. A number of such metrics can not only allow improved estimation of the value of the original placement offering, but can also facilitate the provision of total payout structured placement. For example, the placement owner may collect fees from the media owner, eg, collect continuous fees based on the replay and / or independent broadcast repeat playback nature.

  The collected metrics also generate a “grading score” that can be used by media holders to evaluate and plan potential placements across a wide variety of available and non-available placement spectra. Can do. Thus, the rating score takes into account a comparison between the placements available through the offered market and those otherwise made available through traditional sales channels. This appearance of the total placements available within the industry as a whole provides the system user with a more improved objective understanding of the value and scope of the placement being made, and is therefore done by the system Increase the trust that market users have in the evaluation.

  Further, the recommendation engine 20 may provide users with suggested placements or media that may be optimal with respect to maximizing the value and scope of each product placement. Recommendations made can be approved or rejected by the user and can be modified in that more than one placement option can be proposed. For example, the recommendation engine 20 creates a “fall” schedule of placements that would consist of previous placements and budgets applied by the media owner, as well as availability and prior consent by the placement owner. Can be recommended. The recommendation engine 20 may also query each party to understand current needs and constraints in order to propose a placement schedule according to known parameters. As would be expected, any direct input by the user of the system can be used by the recommendation engine 20 to suggest various placements at any point in time during a given period. For example, if there is a discount placement that will fit a particular product, the media owner can be alerted to an advantageous placement.
