  • Publication number: 20100223094
    Abstract: The presentation of advertisements via a communication device is verified using biosensor or biometric analysis to confirm that a user is present during the presentation. During and preferably at multiple times throughout the presentation, instances of biosensor or biometric input are received to determine a verification result. The biosensor or biometric input is determined from a measure of at least one human biological or physiological change or process or a human anatomical or physical characteristic of a user of the communication device. The verification may be useful to measure an effectiveness of the advertisement or to determine a benefit such as a subsidization of charges within a service plan for wireless or other communication devices.
