Patent number: 11676181Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for resolving advertisement placement conflicts. Specifically, a number of parameters may be entered into a system in order to distribute advertisements into advertisement slots. In many instances, a combination of these parameters causes a conflict in the system where all the parameters cannot be applied in order to place advertisements into advertisement slots. The conflict may be resolved by using an advertisement assignment model to determine which parameters may be relaxed in order to arrive at an optimal solution that violates a smallest number of parameters having the least priority. When such a solution is found, the advertisement assignment model may be modified and advertisements may be placed into advertisement slots based on the modified advertisement assignment model.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2022Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: ROVI GUIDES, INC.Inventor: Samuel Meyer

Patent number: 11669869Abstract: A dynamically regulated advertising delivery control system. A campaign is operated by sending bids to an exchange responsive to receiving bid requests from the exchange, each bid request representing an opportunity to expose a browser to content. Won bid notifications are received from the exchange and exposure notifications are received from exposed browsers. Failed exposures are detected by detecting won bid notification identifiers without corresponding exposure notification identifiers. Responsive to the failed exposures exceeding an upper limit, the campaign is operated in a throttled mode by sending bids to the exchange in response to a fraction of the suitable bid requests received from the exchange and ignoring some suitable bid requests. Responsive to detecting successful exposures in the throttled mode, the operation of the campaign is dynamically regulated by increasing the fraction.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2021Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Quantcast CorporationInventors: Maytee Chinavanichkit, Andy Purnama Prapanca, Duy Hoang Nguyen
