Abstract: A system and method for implementing an information distribution network includes an information service that is configured to provide information distribution services through the information distribution network. User devices are utilized by device users to communicate with the information service for receiving the information distribution services. Transport structures are implemented to collect appropriate metadata from various entities in the information distribution network. A group aggregator analyzes grouping factors from the collected metadata to define at least one consumer group from among the devices users. Various advertisers then communicate with a bid manager to participate in a bidding procedure for obtaining advertising rights to provide selected information to the consumer group.

Abstract: A system and method for distributing reminder information in an electronic network includes an information service that is configured to provide information distribution services through said information distribution network. User devices are provided for device users to communicate with the information service for receiving the information distribution services. A transport structure communicates with network entities in the information distribution network for collecting appropriate types of metadata. A transport server then performs a metadata analysis procedure upon the various types of metadata to responsively generate the reminder information.

Abstract: A system for implementing an information distribution network includes an information service that is configured to provide information distribution services through the information distribution network. User devices are utilized by device users to communicate with the information service for receiving the information distribution services. A subset of the device users form a social network with corresponding ones of the user devices. Transport structures are implemented for communicating with various network entities in the information distribution network. The transport structures collect appropriate metadata for providing selected information from the information service to targeted ones of the device users. The metadata includes social network metadata that characterizes the subset of device users from the social network.

Abstract: A system and method for effectively utilizing a transport structure in an electronic network includes user devices that device users utilize to communicate with an information service for receiving information distribution services. Transport structures communicate with the user devices through the electronic network to collect various relevant types of metadata that is then utilized for providing selected information from the information service to targeted ones of the device users. A transport server coordinates functions of the transport structures by providing task instructions and navigation instructions for effectively operating the transport structures.

Abstract: A system and method for effectively performing an information distribution procedure includes user devices that perform registration procedures for receiving distribution services from a distribution system. The user devices are also used to generate user metadata regarding respective device users of the user devices. A plurality of workstations are associated in the distribution system with respective advertisers. The workstations analyze the user metadata to produce corresponding bid metadata. A bid server then evaluates the bid metadata to determine one or more winning workstations from among the original workstations. The one or more winning workstations automatically transmit their advertising information to appropriate ones of the user devices. Relevant advertising information is therefore specifically targeted toward individual device users by analyzing the user metadata.

Abstract: The embodiments disclosed herein are focussed on media interactions at mobile devices, such as tablet PCs, cellular telephones, and other handheld devices (for example iOS, Windows Mobile and Android devices). Some embodiments relate to an arrangement whereby a media item (such as video data) is streamed for playback at the mobile device. A software application executing at the mobile device monitors user interactions with the device during that media item playback (using any one or more of the available device inputs, which may include the likes of touchscreens, cameras, buttons, microphones, gyroscopes, and so on). The timing and nature of these user interactions is analysed relative to media event data defined, thereby to identify correlations. The presence/absence of such correlations may be used for a number of purposes, such as media lockout control, competitions/promotions, entertainment provision, data collection/analysis, and similar.
