  • Patent number: 11620660
    Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering application media content to multiple social media systems (SMSs) for display to SMS members. The method includes the steps of providing initial application media content to respective SMSs. Once a respective SMS member interacts with the initial content, a social relationship management system (SRMS) receives indication from an SMS of such interaction, and retrieves a unique application media file relating to application media content. The unique application media file is then applied to an application media container file that overcomes certain formatting protocols and requirements of the SMS and enables transmission and delivery of the application media content to the SMS. The application media content is then delivered to the SMS member on the SMS through the application media container file.

  • Patent number: 11093979
    Abstract: Techniques for using machine learning to configure social media campaigns are disclosed. A social relationship management (SRM) service performs supervised machine learning to generate a learned model, at least by: generating feature vectors based on training data including campaign configuration data and one or more campaign success metrics; and performing pattern recognition on the feature vectors to determine one or more preferred campaign configurations. The SRM service publishes messages to one or more social media platforms and receives user interaction data associated with users' interactions with the messages. The SRM service performs unsupervised machine learning to update the learned model based at least in part on the user interaction data.

  • Patent number: 9704165
    Abstract: Systems and methods for evaluating the effectiveness of social media pages. Users of social media systems review and publish various kinds of content on social media pages, including various messages, audio clips, video clips, polls, web links, etc. A social media page evaluation system hosted on a physical server or a cloud receives a social media page that is to be evaluated, and provides results of an evaluation process. The evaluation process involves processing of various criteria and parameters that characterize engagements and interactions between users of social media pages. Results of an evaluation process include qualitative and quantitative attributes in connection with evaluating the effectiveness of published content on social media pages. Such results are useful for purposes of enriching content in social media pages, resulting in greater network traffic due to increased engagements and interaction among users of social media pages.

  • Publication number: 20150081419
    Abstract: The present application presents an improved approach for dynamically generating tracking links. In some embodiments, the present invention allows for the defining of tracking link templates allowing a user to specify parameters usable by a tracking service. One or more post parameters and one or more custom parameters may be defined. SRM posts may then be created by a user through an SRM interface, and a tracking URL be automatically created by reading in the post parameters and one or more user-inputted custom parameters.

  • Publication number: 20120109752
    Abstract: Systems and methods for creation, management and delivery of targeted marketing campaigns to a consumer based on a consumer's social check-in activity as identified by a consumer on one or more location based social networks. In one embodiment, a campaign management system receives information relating to a consumer's social check-in activity from various (heterogeneous) location based social networks in a wide variety of formats, and further normalizes such disparate information received into a standardized format. According to an aspect, the system processes the normalized information in conjunction with pre-stored marketing campaigns created by marketers for purposes of identifying consumers who satisfy one or more conditions specific to the pre-stored marketing campaigns. Campaign-related information corresponding to the pre-stored marketing campaigns generally comprise various promotional offers, discounts, coupons, etc.
