Abstract:
The invention relates to a system for verifying geographical descriptiveness of a media file, such as a picture. The system comprises storage means adapted to store a media file, communication means adapted to send said media file to a plurality of user terminals, and to receive, from the user terminals, data indicating a guessed geographical position with which the user of each user terminal associates the media file. The system also comprises calculation means adapted to determine whether the media file is indicative of a geographical position based on the guessed geographical positions received from the plurality of user terminal.
Abstract:
Content is downloaded to a mobile handheld device (MHD) and buffered on the MHD prior to, and during, viewing. Normal wireless bandwidth varies with atmospheric conditions, distance, obstructions in the path, etc. and hence the speed at which a content-buffer (CB) on the MHD is replenished changes. Because this can result in very low quality viewing experience for the user, the capability for alternate content scheduling provided a micro-splicer is used to enable stored alternate-content or advertisement insertion during periods of low viewing quality, when the CB does not hold sufficient content during the viewing period. This alternate content insertion allows the CB to be refilled before the user resumes content viewing.
Abstract:
The invention discloses a mesoporous composite titanium oxide and a preparation method thereof, wherein the mesoporous composite titanium oxide material is composed of a mesoporous titanium oxide and an inorganic matter is composite on the outside surface and the wall of pores of the mesoporous titanium oxide; said inorganic matter contains at least one element selected from carbon, silicon, sulphur, phosphorus and selenium in an amount of 0.01%-25%, on amount of the element mass, of the mass of said mesoporous composite titanium oxide material; at least one most probable pore diameter of pore distribution of the mesoporous compound titanium oxide material is 3-15 nm, the specific surface area is 50-250 m2/g, and the pore volume is 0.05-0.4 m3/g. As a catalyst carrier, the rate of conversion of the hydrodesulfurization reaction of the material reaches as high as 98 percent, and as a lithium ion battery cathode material, the specific capacity of the lithium ion battery cathode material reaches as high as 220 mAh/g. Moreover, the preparation method of the material is simple, has low cost and is suitable for industrial bulk production.
Abstract:
Targeted advertisements with associated dynamic content for response and feedback embedded into the ad's header are delivered to mobile viewing devices. The mobile viewing device records a user's response to advertisements and reports it back to an ad serving platform. The ad serving platform generates user profiles that incorporate the response data. Ads are further targeted to the user according to the user's profile data to maximize the impact of the ads. The user can select the preferred format for providing advertisement feedback.
Abstract:
Available advertisement spot duration is used to display a plurality of advertisements, and to obtain maximum impact while displaying a plurality of advertisements, within an advertisement spot, where the advertisements are each typically of a fixed duration, the sum of which is the total duration of the advertisement spot. Further optimization is accomplished by using advertisements of optimized duration, the advertisements having a cumulative duration of less than that of the advertisement spot, and by using a static advertisement and/or picture as a filler for the rest of the duration. Because static advertisements and/or pictures do not require a minimum duration for impact, they can be used to fill in the time left over from one or multiple advertisements within an advertisement spot. Embodiments of the invention find particular application for displaying advertisements on mobile handheld devices (MHDDs) to improve the impact of the advertisements.
Abstract:
A target specific addressable spot-guide (TASG) comprises meta-data generated from advertisement campaign criteria, the schema of available ad-spots, the characteristics of the ads to be inserted in the ad-spot, and the ad interaction pattern and preferences of the targeted end user. The TASG is transferred into a mobile handheld viewing platform by broadcasting, and is downloaded and stored on the target viewing platform to enable the recognition, filtering, download, and storage of focused ads for a target group. The ads are inserted into the content stream at the appropriate ad-spot, based on the insertion and priority instructions contained in the TASG to enable simultaneous display of different ads by individuals in different target groups during the viewing of the same transmitted content by these individuals on viewing platforms.
Abstract:
A system and method thereof for the delivery of focused alternate content and advertisements to mobile devices that selectively targets groups in a bandwidth limited multicast wireless video transmission. The limited wireless bandwidth does not allow multiple focused alternate content to be transmitted during allowed spot time to effectively cover all the target groups. Thus, the invention enables the pre-delivery and selective buffering of alternate content files on a mobile device for each target group. Accordingly, one embodiment of the invention enables viewing of targeted advertisements and alternate content by the target groups by attaching metadata to the targeted advertisements that contain instructions for filtering and insertion into a video stream.
