  • Patent number: 11889136
    Abstract: Example methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to assign respondents to geographic locations for audience measurement are disclosed. Example apparatus disclosed herein are to determine a set of constraints based on aggregate values of demographic features associated with respective ones of the geographic locations. Disclosed example apparatus are also to construct a model to return probabilities that respective ones the respondents are associated with the respective ones of the geographic locations, the model to have a set of parameters, respective ones of the parameters to be associated with respective ones of the constraints. Disclosed example apparatus are further to evaluate the model based on values of the set of parameters and values of the demographic features for a first one of the respondents to determine a set of probabilities that the first respondent is to be assigned to respective ones of the geographic locations.

  • Publication number: 20090193475
    Abstract: Systems and methods for deploying video content in a video player which enables context-specific actions and policies may comprise a video player operating in a web browser which receives a policy file or a hierarchy of policy files describing specific actions, such as displaying a text, image, link, or video, to be taken when a certain element is encountered or a condition is satisfied in a video. The video player may then receive a video and an accompanying cue file which describes elements within the vide. As the video player plays the video, the player processes the cue file and takes any actions dictated by corresponding policies. In this manner, individual video content may separated from policy decisions such as when to show links or advertisements, and related content to display.

  • Patent number: 6173295
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for creating a job ticket on a computer, wherein the job ticket includes information on components and print attributes of a print job. The created job ticket includes an identification record including information identifying the job ticket, a document record including information on a document included in the print job and print attributes for the document, and an item record including information on an item that is a component of the document and print attributes for the item. The item may be a print image file. The job ticket may further include a record including information on scheduling options for the print job. The item record is arranged in a lower hierarchical relationship to the document record such that the print attributes for the document apply to the item. After creating the job ticket, the present invention processes the job ticket and, then, transmits the processed job ticket to a printer.
