20140278796 | Identifying Target Audience for a Product or Service - A method for selecting potential customers for a product/service using a computer server is provided. The computer server collects information consumption activity data, conversion data, and demographic data from panelists that have agreed to share their data with the computer server. For each panelist, the computer server identifies a set of product/service keywords from the information consumption activity data associated with the panelist. For each keyword, the computer server aggregates the demographic data of the panelists associated with the keyword using their conversion data and generates a set of demographic attributes in order to characterize potential customers of the product/service. Subsequently, in response to a request from a client device for characterizing potential customers of a product/service, the computer server identifies product/service keywords and then generates a demographic characterization for the product/service by aggregating the demographic attributes associated with the keywords. | 09-18-2014 |
20160050456 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ACTIVE TRAINING OF BROADCAST PERSONALIZATION AND AUDIENCE MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS USING A PRESENCE BAND - An audience measurement or personalized recommendation system may be actively trained for each panel member for a training period, during which the presence of each member is recorded while content is displayed. Panel members may carry or wear portable devices with wireless transmitters which may be detected by the measurement system. For example, each panel member may wear a wristband including a wireless transmitter broadcasting an identification code, and a measurement device may include a wireless receiver to receive broadcast identification codes and determine that the corresponding one or more panel members are present during display of content. An inference engine may create personalized profiles of each panel participant during the training period. After the training period, panel participants may stop carrying or wearing the devices, and the inference engine may determine, based on the profiles, which participants are likely present when content is being viewed. | 02-18-2016 |
