摘要:
A method of generating television Audience Measurement System (AMS) reports and a system executing the method are disclosed. The method comprises the steps of receiving a plurality of encoded report payloads from a plurality of client devices, storing the encoded report payloads in a database, transferring at least one encoded report payload from the database into randomly addressable memory (RAM), decoding the at least one encoded report payload in RAM, parsing the decoded data in RAM with at least one matching algorithm to determine the occurrence of events, compiling a database of parsed data, and generating an AMS report from the database of parsed data.
摘要:
Video advertisement with targeted and/or interactive and/or transaction enabled capabilities systems and methods are disclosed. The invention separates in time the transactional component of the video ad from the product or service message (e.g. commercial). By separating the transaction component of the video ad from the commercial, the viewer's experience as intended by the video ad creator is preserved. Additionally, the user experience is optimized for the transactional component by allowing the transactional component to take up extra real-estate on the video screen, allowing the viewer to focus on the transactional components without interfering with the commercial, and allowing the owner of the transactional component to add additional aspects, for example an audio track or moving elements, to improve the effectiveness of the transactional component.
摘要:
Dynamic television audience measurement systems (AMS) and methods are disclosed. The system comprises a central level AMS sub-system, a local node level AMS sub-system, a plurality of client level AMS sub-systems, and a plurality of display devices, each monitored by a client level AMS sub-system. The central level AMS sub-system receives panel definitions from panel requestors and transmits the panel definitions to and receives a merged viewership report from the local node level AMS sub-system. The local node level AMS sub-system receives panel definitions from and transmits the merged viewership report to the central level AMS sub-system, transmits the panel definitions to and receives viewership reports from the plurality of client level AMS sub-systems, and merges the viewership reports into the merged viewership report. Each client level AMS sub-systems receives panel definitions from and transmits the viewership report to the local node level AMS sub-system and compiles the viewership report.
