Patent number: 11936547Abstract: At times, it may be desirable to determine that a client system is, or to determine the number of client systems that are, presenting particular dynamic content when an auditable event occurs in the dynamic content. One manner of making the determination may include accessing presentation time information that indicates the time(s) at which one or more client systems present particular dynamic content and accessing event time information indicating the time(s) at which one or more auditable events occur in the dynamic particular content. Based on the presentation time information and the event time information, it may be possible to determine that a client system is, or to determine the number of client systems that are, presenting particular dynamic content when an auditable event occurs in the dynamic content.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Yahoo Ad Tech LLCInventors: G. Thomas Des Jardins, Jeffrey Dalton Porter, Vinayak Raghuvamshi, Bryan Slavin, Paul Miller

Patent number: 11132705Abstract: The amount of dynamic content consumed by an audience at one or more locations in one or more content sites may be determined. This information may then be used by an inventory management system to forecast or estimate the future available advertising inventory at the locations. When the entity receives an insertion order, the entity may use the forecasted advertising inventory to help determine the locations to which the campaign should be allocated and when the advertising campaign should be scheduled so that the requirements of the advertising campaign can be met.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2005Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: Verizon Media Inc.Inventors: G. Thomas Des Jardins, Paul Miller, Jeffrey Dalton Porter, Bryan Slavin, Mark Westling

Publication number: 20140019390Abstract: Apparatus and method for fingerprinting an audio signal utilizes programmed machine to identify overlapping windows in a time domain representation of the audio signal, establish a frequency domain representation of the overlapping windows, convolve a set of two-dimensional kernels with the frequency domain representation to thereby provide a convolutional layer as an output stage, reduce dimensionality of the convolution layer to provide one or more further output stages, and perform further processing so as to output a decision in regard to a plurality of the overlapping windows comprising either a specific content id that matches to the audio signal or a failure-to-match indication.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2013Publication date: January 16, 2014Inventors: Aron Glennon, Eric Humphrey, Bryan Slavin, Scott Rosenberg

Publication number: 20130073353Abstract: Programming media and advertising media may be presented in a manner that approximates or equals a target ratio. In one implementation, a total temporal length of one or more programming media segments is accessed after the user has selected the programming media segments. One or more advertising media segments are then selected. The advertising media segments have a total length that is based on the total temporal length of the programming media segments and a target temporal ratio between programming media and advertising media. The client system may present the one or more selected advertising media segments.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2012Publication date: March 21, 2013Inventors: G.
