Patent number: 11341527Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining the efficacy of digital assets provided to an audience. One embodiment is a system that includes a brand management server. The brand management server includes a memory that stores assets comprising digital media. The brand management server also includes a controller. The controller distributes the assets for consumption by members of an audience at remote devices. The controller also selects one of the assets, determines a look-back period, acquires metrics indicating at least two different types of consumption of the asset by the audience during the look-back period, and calculates an asset score for the asset that indicates a popularity of the asset and is based on the metrics indicating the at least two different types of consumption.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2021Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: Brandfolder, Inc.Inventors: Ajaykumar Rajasekharan, Logan Sears, Jim Hanifen, Brett Nekolny, Luke Butterfield Beatty

Patent number: 10798156Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for distributing content. One embodiment includes a content management server. The content management server includes a memory that stores a library of assets comprising digital media, and that further stores scores that indicate popularity of the assets in the library. The content management server also includes an interface that receives a Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request that is sourced by a device remote from the content management server, and a controller that identifies a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) within the HTTP request, selects a group of assets for the URL from the library, identifies an asset that has a highest score within the group, and provides the asset in response to the HTTP request. The controller alters scores for assets in the library over time as assets in the library are provided, and selects different groups of assets for the URL over time.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2020Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: BRANDFOLDER, INC.Inventors: Jim Hanifen, Logan Sears, Ajaykumar Rajasekharan, Brett Nekolny, Luke Butterfield Beatty

Publication number: 20180225367Abstract: System and method for automatically associating metadata tags to one or more activities; enabling user association of metadata tags to one or more activities; and associating non-activities to logged activities. In one embodiment, the method comprises: receiving text descriptions relating to activities; using at least one machine learning technique to automatically identify one or more aspects and a corresponding one or more characteristic from a library; creating a metadata tag comprising the aspects and characteristics; and associating the metadata tags to the text descriptions to which it relates. Each of the aspects in the library is associated to a unique subset of possible characteristics. Each of the text descriptions may be included in a schedule and a metabolic equivalent of task (MET) score for each may be calculated.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2017Publication date: August 9, 2018Inventors: Allan Glen, Ben Hamill, Christopher Peters, Eric Roberts, Brett Nekolny, Amy Troschinetz
