    摘要: A system and method for selecting and inserting advertisements into a video programming feed at the household level. An advertisement insertion device in a home entertainment system receives a plurality of advertisements from an advertisement source. The advertisement insertion device selects one of the advertisements for display to a viewer according to advertisement selection criteria combined with viewer and system information. The video programming is displayed to a viewer while the advertisement insertion device monitors the programming feed for a triggering event indicating an appropriate time to display the selected advertisement. At the appropriate time, the video programming feed is interrupted and the selected advertisement is displayed. Selecting advertisements at the household level allows advertisers to target viewers with a high degree of specificity. In particular, the advertisement selection criteria may take into account, for example, demographic data relating to the household, the geographical location of the household, of individual viewing habits. The method optionally includes monitoring and reporting viewer response to the selected advertisements.

    摘要: Systems and methods for tracking viewing behavior of advertisements on home entertainment systems. A processing device associated with the home entertainment system determines that an advertisement is being displayed. For example, the processing device can recognize an identifying marker embedded in the television signal that carries the advertisement. Alternatively, an electronic program guide supplemented with information identifying advertisements can be used to determine that a channel tuned and displayed at the home entertainment system carries a particular advertisement. The processing device generates viewing behavior information that identifies the advertisement and stores the information locally. The information is periodically transmitted to a central clearinghouse for storage and distribution to advertisers or other interested parties. The clearinghouse receives viewing behavior information from a plurality of home entertainment systems, which represents and describes the advertisements being viewed, the origin of the advertisements, and the way in which the advertisements are viewed.

    摘要: Systems and methods for providing and tracking viewing behavior of home entertainment systems. A viewer event such as tuning to a selected television channel, occurs at a home entertainment system. The event is coupled with information describing the programming viewed on the home entertainment system and is stored locally. The information describing the programming is obtained from an electronic program guide. Subsequent viewer events are also coupled with information describing the programming viewed and stored locally. The resulting viewing behavior that is stored locally is transmitted to a remote clearinghouse for storage. The remote site receives a great diversity specific information from a plurality of home entertainment systems, which represents and describes, in any desired degree of specificity, the programming that the public is viewing, the origin of the programming, and the way in which the programming is being viewed.
