摘要： In described embodiments, a channel allocation system, such as a white space (WS) channel allocation system, employs a method to populate a WS database with channel availability information for areas with protected or otherwise registered service user information server. Communication characteristics of incumbent service providers licensed or otherwise registered to operate within certain frequency spectrum are plotted over a geographic area. The channel allocation system then divides the area into tiles, and determines whether each tile can be characterized for channel availability and, for those tiles that are uncharacterized, further divides the tiles into tiles of finer resolution. Based on information in the WS database, availability of channels in areas is pre-computed, and then an iterative search of areas with successively finer resolution identifies white space channels that might be included in the channel list in response to a query from a unlicensed or unregistered user.

摘要： A technique for tracking advertisement efficacy using consumer transactions is disclosed. An information tracking agent maintains and stores information related to users identified by a unique identifier. A user is presented with an online/offline advertisement. An information tracking agent records and stores the advertisement transaction. When a user performs a transaction for purchase of goods or service that are the subject of the advertisement, the information tracking agent identifies the user with the unique identifier and the matching agent matches the user transaction with the displayed advertisement. The system automatically tracks the effectiveness of the advertisements displayed to users without requiring consumer action, beyond the purchase/transaction, in response to the displayed advertisement. In another embodiment, the system automatically tracks user location with a GPS and dynamically displays advertisements on billboards connected to the information tracking agent.

摘要： A computer-based program performs calculations to analyze, vary, test, manage, and/or improve the performance of channels and/or frequencies in the communication spectrum. The program varies parameters of a point of communication, such as the location, transmission power, channel frequency, antenna height, and the like, alone or in combination, to measure, test, and/or evaluate which parameter changes increase the market coverage of a target market or area. In some scenarios, changes to one point of communication cause the regulations governing the broadcast relationship between one or more nearby points of communication to be violated. When this occurs, the program determines which of the parameters, such as the location, transmission power, channel and/or frequency, antenna height, and the like, alone or in combination, of the point of communication interfering with the increased market coverage scenario to vary to overcome the conflict with communications and/or regulatory law. In addition, the program can determine simultaneously which of the parameters of multiple points of communication to vary to overcome the conflict with communications and/or regulatory law. The program outputs multiple solutions with varying degrees of difficulty and varying amounts of performance improvement.

摘要： In described embodiments, a channel allocation system, such as a white space channel allocation system, employs a server processor and database to record communication characteristics of incumbent service providers licensed or otherwise registered to operate within certain frequency spectrum. The channel allocation system allows registration of licensed service providers, or access to existing licensed service provider databases, to obtain required information of communication characteristics to form protected service contours. Based on the protected service contours, the availability of channels in areas is pre-computed. In addition, unlicensed or unregistered users, such as TV band devices (TVBDs), register with the channel allocation system and request channel lists of channels to operate on with a query. The system performs an iterative search of areas with successively finer resolution and identifies channels that might be included in a channel list in response to the query.

摘要： The present invention provides a system and method for managing access and use of a communication network or service or service. When a user requests the use of a communication network or service and this network is experiencing a level of use which is above a predetermined threshold, one or more incentives can be offered to the user in return for deferring access to the communication network or service for a predetermined period of time. In this manner, usage of the communication network or service can be managed such that variability of the usage level over time can be reduced.
