Patent number: 11282106Abstract: The present disclosure describes a dynamic optimization of delivery of one or more advertising messages of an advertising campaign. The various apparatuses and methods disclosed herein deliver the one or more advertising messages to a targeted audience of the advertising campaign. Thereafter, these apparatuses and methods monitor exposure of the targeted audience to the one or more advertising messages to generate an advertisement exposure list. This list can include members of the targeted audience that have not been exposed to the one or more advertising messages, members of the targeted audience that have been exposed to the one or more advertising messages less than an optimal frequency of exposure, and/or members of the targeted audience that have been exposed to the one or more advertising messages greater than or equal to the optimal frequency of exposure.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2016Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: CSC Holdings, LLCInventors: Robert Reimer Uy, Jason Glushakow, Indu Narayan
