  • Publication number: 20230306475
    Abstract: A framework for online media distribution of media content that includes streaming video, and tracking of the media content and consumer engagement with the streaming video, is configured to disseminate programs that include media content for display on a publisher site, where the streaming video is embedded thereon. The framework allows consumers to interact with advertisers by engaging with the media content directly. The framework also enables video streaming capabilities on any affiliate network that connects publishers and advertisers, so that the distribution of media content is agnostic and independent of the affiliate networks' platforms. The framework reconciles all actions in such an end-to-end journey by integrating syntaxes of different systems from consumer to advertiser.

  • Patent number: 11475475
    Abstract: The present system, method, and media platform provides tools for increasing advertisement engagement with users by incentivizing engagement with various content displayed within a graphical user interface of a device by providing rewards for such engagement. Content engagement includes interacting with the displayed content or sharing such content on social media and the like, or by any other various action and/or input received from the user indicative of content engagement as defined in a set of parameters provided at least in part by the owners of the content. Content owners can purchase rewards which are selectively, as defined by parameters, distributed to one or more user rewards account upon receiving an input indicating a selection by the user of the content displayed. The user advantageously seeks out the content due, in part, to the rewards offer and relevance to the user's interests.
