  • Patent number: 10970724
    Abstract: In one example, a processor may generate a graph of vertices representing distribution areas of a telecommunication network and links between vertices of adjacent distribution areas, calculate similarity measures for the links based on distance scores between vertices joined by the links relating to: percentages of aerial infrastructure and percentages of multi-unit buildings in distribution areas represented by the two vertices, and whether or not the distribution areas represented by the two vertices are on a same route from a central office of the telecommunication network. The processor may label the links with the similarity measures to create a link-weighted adjacency graph, perform community detection on the link-weighted adjacency graph to generate sub-graphs, each sub-graph including at least one of the vertices, and provide a map of construction zones based upon geographic areas covered by distribution areas associated with vertices in the sub-graphs.

  • Patent number: 9930424
    Abstract: A system and method leverage survey data to segment viewers to associate the viewers to television programs. The viewer associations resulting from classification are advantageously employed by advertisers to increase the penetration of the advertising to the consuming public, cost effectiveness of the advertising, brand acceptance, and the like, by targeting the classified viewers through the associated content provider websites.

  • Publication number: 20170046497
    Abstract: One or more simulations are generated for in-home monitoring. The simulations model sensory detection of a user's physical activities using a different number and/or a different combination of sensors. Each different simulation may thus be associated with an accuracy and a cost, depending on the number and/or combination of sensors. The simulations thus present a range of sensory configurations that balance accuracy and affordability, from which an optimum sensory solution may be determined for the in-home monitoring.

  • Publication number: 20160267521
    Abstract: A system and method for electronically monitoring audience attentiveness and receptiveness including: collecting user data concerning a running of and interaction with, media content received via the first network interface by a user of the network terminal; converting the collected user data into user metrics; and analyzing the data to create at least one user Brand Affinity Index (BAI) score for the network terminal user.

  • Publication number: 20150025948
    Abstract: An example brand aware advertising system includes: (a) an advertising server interface operative to receive an advertisement request from an advertisement requestor; (b) a brand affinity engine coupled to the advertising server interface and operative to develop a brand affinity list from the advertisement request; and (c) an advertisement matching engine operative to provide a result to the advertising server interface if there is a match with the brand affinity list which can then be provided to the advertisement requestor. An alternate example embodiment further includes a brand aware ad exchange server operative to receive the brand affinity list from the advertisement matching engine if there is no match and to provide a result to the advertising server which is one of an advertisement and a null.

  • Publication number: 20140278782
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program determine bias in survey results due to non-responsive and/or erroneous survey response data, assess the impact of bias introduced by non-responsive and/or erroneous survey data on the survey results, and analyze the survey results accordingly to provide a more accurate assessment of the impressions of viewers of content (e.g., advertisements) viewed by the persons being surveyed. The analysis allows an advertiser to modify an advertisement to better promote a product or service and enable the advertiser to increase the probability of success of an advertising campaign and the cost-effectiveness of the campaign.

  • Publication number: 20140278921
    Abstract: A method for determining changes in brand awareness after exposures to on-line advertisements includes: first selecting and monitoring a test group including a first plurality of members and a control group including a second plurality of members from a pool of users, whereby the first plurality of members and the second plurality of members do not overlap; second exposing the test group, but not the control group, to an advertisement associated with a brand; third conducting surveys of the first plurality of members and the second plurality of members with respect to the brand; and fourth analyzing the monitoring of the test group and the control group to determine a brand lift index with respect to the advertisement.

  • Patent number: 7650580
    Abstract: A system that determines the performance of an integrated circuit (IC). During operation, the system receives probability distributions for parameters for the IC. Next, the system generates samples of the IC, wherein generating a given sample involves using the probability distribution to assign values to the parameters for components within the IC. The system then calculates output performance metrics for the samples based on the assigned values of the parameters, and uses the calculated output performance metrics to generate a distribution of output performance metrics for the samples.
