Patent number: 11709907Abstract: This disclosure relates to electronically linking offline user activity to online activity of that user. Linking offline to online activity provides real-time feedback on traffic flow from a machine-readable label (“MRL”) scan to a conversion event on a target website. Linking offline to online activity enables tracking of specific MRLs and conversion events associated therewith. Linking offline to online activity enables calculating benchmarks such as time to conversion event and best performing conversion locations for an MRL. Linking offline to online activity enhances security and data quality as each conversion event can be traced back to a unique MRL scan and a timestamp and geolocation associated with the unique MRL scan.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2023Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: the dtx companyInventors: Jay Messina, Brendan Walsh

Patent number: 8892225Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for concurrently recording multiple radio channels. A recorder includes a wideband tuner having a complex mixer for converting a received wideband RF signal to a complex signal that is then digitized. A digital front end module applies a number of complex down-mixers to the digital complex signal to generate the multiple radio channels in the baseband. Each one of the multiple radio channels in the baseband is further filtered, decimated and demodulated. A digital signal processing unit encodes each demodulated channel according to an audio compression format and stores the then encoded audio content to a storage unit. An RBDS decoder parses radio data service information associated with the stored audio content. The radio data service information is stored in a first section of the storage unit while the encoded audio content is stored in a second section of the storage unit.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2010Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: MaxLinear, Inc.Inventors: Brendan Walsh, Stefan Szasz, Madhukar Reddy

Publication number: 20140173640Abstract: A method for targeted advertisement includes storing a profile tag associated with each user in a device maintained by that user. Each profile tag includes the demographic information of its associated user. A multitude of target tags are also transmitted to the users. Each target tag is associated with an advertiser and includes the demographic information of the users. The advertisements and their corresponding target tags are transmitted and cached in the devices maintained by the users. The number of matches between the target tags and the user profiles are supplied to their respective advertisers. The advertisers use the matching number to modify the prices they are willing to offer for the commercial break. The target tags include information that is used to select one of the cached advertisement for playing during the commercial break.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2014Publication date: June 19, 2014Applicant: MaxLinear, Inc.Inventors: Brendan WALSH, Curtis Ling

Publication number: 20110320304Abstract: A method and system for performing an auction by determining a request for an item based on at least one of (i) an item to purchase, (ii) a performance specification of the item to purchase, and (iii) a term of a request for the item to purchase. The method and system include sending, through a network, the request for the item to an auctioneer machine server. Performance information is collected for each seller. Notice is provided that a performance evaluation has been received for a specific seller, and is on record with the provider of the information. Additional transaction costs may be captured and included as a separate line item in an auto-rebid auction environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2011Publication date: December 29, 2011Applicant: Fedbid, Inc.Inventors: John Lee, Tooraj Nikzadeh, Luther Tupponce, Brendan Walsh
