  • Patent number: 10390068
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for providing information to a traffic system allowing a traffic system operator to make faster and better decisions related to whether or not to import specific break structure files. The system, via a dashboard, permits the traffic system operator to select a single network, a group of specific networks or all networks for importation of the specific break structure files. The system and method are configured to handle changes in any of three important programming categories, namely windows, breaks and programming content. The programming categories are separated into easy-to-read columns listing the number of changes for a given future time period allowing the traffic system operator to easily locate the changes. Such a system and method solves the problem of traffic system operators having to “blindly” import data.

  • Patent number: 9635391
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for incorporating advertising breaks across one or more broadcast networks. The system and method involve gathering information from several different data files, analyzing the same, making real-time logic decisions and exporting a new data file that can be imported into a traffic system of the type used to manage the placement of advertisements/commercials in television programs including normalized break windows, break counts, inventory allocations and break sequences.
