  • Publication number: 20220277337
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the optimized allocation of content on a content distribution system according to a content distribution plan are described. In some embodiments, a management system may be configured to generate an optimized schedule for content distribution, such as an advertising campaign. For a television distribution schedule, an impressions forecast may be generated based on the available inventory and historical audience measurement information, such as television ratings for a television advertising campaign. An optimized schedule may be generated based on the impressions forecast and content may be distributed according to the optimized schedule. Measurement information relating to the distribution according to the optimized schedule may be analyzed and used to generate a re-optimized schedule, for example, that may be used to schedule the advertising campaign on a subsequent day.

  • Patent number: 10412581
    Abstract: A vehicle includes: (i) a main telematics module, (ii) a connectivity module including antenna(s) and processor(s). The connectivity module is configured to: (a) authenticate a mobile device via a vehicle-access-key (VAK); (b), if (a), issue an ephemeral-session-key (DSK) to the mobile device; (c), if (b), establish an active session with the mobile device; (d) encrypt all messages to the mobile device with the VAK during (a) and with the DSK during (c). The connectivity module is configured to automatically revoke the DSK upon expiration of a predetermined time interval.
