  • Publication number: 20220237666
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer program product and computing system for obtaining advert target information for a primary advert auction concerning a viewer of content, wherein the primary advert auction solicits bids for providing an advertisement to the viewer of the content, thus resulting in one or more primary bids; initiating a secondary advert auction based, at least in part, upon the advert target information, wherein the secondary advert auction solicits bids for providing the advertisement to the viewer of the content while requiring a donation to a charity, thus resulting in one or more secondary bids; and inserting at least one of the secondary bids into the one or more primary bids so that the at least one of the secondary bids may be considered when determining a winner of the primary advert auction.

  • Publication number: 20120179956
    Abstract: The new invention is a system for specifying spreadsheets, business plans or other numerical plans using a structured text format, also known as a domain specific language (DSL), and a grid-valued machine. The DSL is both human-readable and can be interpreted by a computing system to create a spreadsheet or related outputs, including the calculation of business metrics. The grid-valued machine is a new model for a computer fitted to this purpose, where a grid of values is used as the underlying data model (i.e., as opposed to the normal register machine model). The language can include terms for describing uncertainty, allowing the specification and presentation of stochastic plans, e.g. for risk analysis. This can be supported in the grid-valued machine using a Monte Carlo approach with multiple grids.

  • Publication number: 20110078584
    Abstract: A social media workflow application includes a social media search component executable by a computing system, a tagging system for annotating search results with textual tags, and a user interface enabling the display of filtered results based on tag, and potentially other, criteria. The new invention is a system to automate tagging and other actions, and the use of such automation to provide a flexible semi-automated workflow tool for the improved use of social media, with particular relevance for marketing and public communications business functions.
