  • Publication number: 20130013397
    Abstract: A system comprising a first location within a bounding area, a second location within the bounding area, a first bid associated with the first location, and a second bid associated with the first location is disclosed. A method comprising receiving a first proximity ad zone associated with a first bid amount, receiving a second proximity ad zone associated with a second bid amount, intersecting the first proximity ad zone and the second proximity ad zone is also disclosed. Further, a method comprises assigning an accuracy assignment to a participant client device, assigning a first proximity ad zone around a first advertisement, associating a first bid amount with the first advertisement, assigning a second proximity ad zone around a second advertisement, associating a second bid amount with the second advertisement, and intersecting the first proximity ad zone with the second proximity ad zone.

  • Patent number: 8150929
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to integrate disparate media services and applications across an organization. The media services are connected to an interoperable media services bus by creating a connector API for each service, thereby enabling the media services to exchange messages in a standardized format related to transactions to be performed involving media assets and/or metadata associated with media assets. Media assets are advantageously transported between different media systems using a transport interface that hides details of the transport operation from the sender and recipient media services. Each media service provides its own file transport parameters defining procedures for obtaining media assets therefrom and writing media assets thereto; the transport service determines particular protocols for each transport operation based on the information provided by the sender and recipient media services.

  • Publication number: 20110039623
    Abstract: A system comprising a digital artifact (100) with a non-predetermined location (104) is disclosed. The system can further comprise an identifier (180) and an asset (182) associated with the digital artifact (100). In addition, the system can further comprise a first participant client device (102) associated with the digital artifact (100), where a second participant client device (102) subsequently associates with the digital artifact (100) at a subsequent location (104). A method comprising assigning an accuracy assignment zone (1200) to a participant client device (102) and a digital artifact (100) is also disclosed.
