  • Publication number: 20230388567
    Abstract: A system and method for assigning a monetary cost for digital media display sessions through a pay-per-inferred-view charging model, including non-transitory computer-readable storage media, a processing system, and a media display system. The media display system comprises a neural network, an interface system, including a communications interface. The interface system communicates with the media display system and program instructions stored on the computer-readable storage media that, when executed by the processing system, direct the processing system in response to receiving, via the communications interface, media display session data from the media display system. The media display session data includes audience viewership information to determine composite audience viewership scores from the audience entity quality rating for each unique audience entity and compute a session cost for the media display session.

  • Publication number: 20070094242
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for re-ordering the results from an information search, such as an Internet search in order to maximize the likelihood that the user will see a result they want in the first page or two of large or very large results lists. The results of the information search are examined for a wide variety of factors that could be considered to create diversity among the results a user is most likely to see. A subset of results are selected, with some results from each categorized group, for presentation to the user. The user is presented with a diverse set of search results so that the desired information may be located and/or the search narrowed more efficiently. This is easily extended to include any process which can benefit from receiving results from an information search where the receiving process benefits from having a high degree of variation occur among the first subset of results returned.
