20100114668 | Determining Relative Effectiveness Of Media Content Items - The effectiveness of advertisements with respect to a group of panelists is measured. Based on the results of such analysis, advertisements and/or variants thereof are selected for presentation to consumers. Effectiveness of advertisements is measured, in one embodiment, by detecting exposure to advertisements, and then monitoring panelist behavior following exposure to an advertisement. In one embodiment, the group of panelists is a representative sample of a larger population, so that observations of panelist behavior can be used as a basis for making decisions regarding presentation of advertisements to a larger audience having characteristics similar to those of the panelists. | 05-06-2010 |
20090307084 | Measuring Exposure To Media Across Multiple Media Delivery Mechanisms - Exposure to media content across multiple media delivery mechanisms is measured, so as to generate reports of aggregate exposure over multiple delivery mechanisms. The delivery mechanisms can include, for example, television and radio, as well as Internet delivery of web pages or other content viewed on a computer, mobile device, or other electronic device using a browser or other application. Reference signatures are generated for media content items of interest. Monitoring devices and/or software monitor user exposure to media items across multiple delivery mechanisms. Intercepted signatures are generated for the monitored media items. Reports are generated based on comparison of the intercepted signatures with the reference signatures, including analysis of media exposure across multiple delivery mechanisms. | 12-10-2009 |
20090307061 | Measuring Exposure To Media - Exposure to media content across one or more media delivery mechanisms is measured. The delivery mechanisms can include, for example, television and radio, as well as Internet delivery of web pages or other content viewed on a computer, mobile device, or other electronic device using a browser or other application. Media can include web-based content and/or audio content originating from a network source and/or from other content sources. Reference signatures are generated for media content items of interest. Monitoring devices and/or software monitor user exposure to media items, and intercepted signatures are generated. In some embodiments, user exposure across multiple delivery mechanisms is monitored. Reports can be generated based on comparison of the intercepted signatures with the reference signatures; such reports may include analysis of media exposure across multiple delivery mechanisms. Content items can be selected for presentation to a user based on media exposure history. | 12-10-2009 |
