  • Publication number: 20170109781
    Abstract: A media delivery system that may be used for tracking the number and type of human impressions of media content rendered by the system during the time the media was rendered is provided. The media delivery system includes a rendering device for rendering media content, an environmental sensor for sensing impressions and other environmental variables and a computing device configured to gather data related to the external states detected by the environmental sensor. The data may be provided to a backend server for correlating the data to the rendered media content. The system may include rules that interpret that data and may cause the system to custom select, tailor or control future playback of media on the system.

  • Patent number: 9443038
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to facilitating tag assignment to data objects as data objects are added to a tag-associated data-object storage system by users of the tag-associated data-object storage system and to facilitate subsequent display, access, and further characterization of data objects that already reside in the a tag-associated data-object storage system. Methods and systems of the present invention provide for automated tag suggestion to users in order to both increase usability of the interface provided to the tag-associated data-object storage systems as well as decrease the likelihood of unnecessary and unproductive tag proliferation within the tag-associated data-object storage system.

  • Patent number: 8700451
    Abstract: A system and method for tracking a consumer is provided. A consumer is detected at a first location within a vicinity of a content player playing a content item. A unique identification of the consumer is captured, such as a facial image or a Bluetooth signal emitted by a device associated with the consumer in some embodiments. A record is stored indicating the consumer perceived the content item. As the consumer perceives other content items or travels to other locations, the record is updated to reflect the consumer's behavior.

  • Publication number: 20090177987
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include methods and systems for efficient display of object of interest within, or superimposed over, a display of a region of interest. In one embodiment of the present invention, when more than a threshold number of objects of interest need to be displayed, a portion of the objects of interest are graphically emphasized, or displayed using large, easily identified and manipulated icons, while the remaining objects of interest are displayed using small icons, or graphically deemphasized. A user may select an alternative portion of the objects of interest for graphical emphasis, deemphasizing any formerly emphasized objects of interest and leaving deemphasized any object of interest not within the alternative portion of the object of interested selected for emphasis.
