Patent number: 11941647Abstract: A data processing system includes a processor and associated memory implementing an enterprise data management (EDM) module configured to interact with an enterprise management system. A storage device coupled to the processor, implements an enterprise data management (EDM) database, which stores priority rules used to determine priority scores associated with a plurality of different entities associated with entity records. A communications interface coupled to the processor, transmits the priority rules, to an enterprise management system, and receives priority scores of individual entities, determined based on the priority rules, from the enterprise management system. The priority scores of the individual entities are stored in the EDM database in association with the priority rules, and the EDM module matches the entity records to entities based, at least in part, on the priority scores of the individual entities.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: IHEARTMEDIA MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC.Inventors: Kohinoor Basu, Angel Barnachea Chua, Matthew M.

Patent number: 11244325Abstract: A system and method for managing media advertising enterprise data. An enterprise data management (EDM) module can be configured to include a set of rules at an enterprise level to manage disparate and disconnected records. A scoring function with respect to each record can be computed based on the rules to determine the highest priority. The rules in association with the scoring function can be stored locally in an EDM database. A matching process can then be performed to accurately match similar records regardless of manual input, location, and format of the records in a distributed system. Each record can then be assigned with a parent enterprise advertiser. Such an optimization mechanism can interactively manage and report records at the enterprise level in a simple and efficient manner.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2016Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: iHeartMedia Management Services, Inc.Inventors: Kohinoor Basu, Angel Barnachea Chua, Matthew M.

Patent number: 11245745Abstract: An enterprise hub receives a first local log from a first transaction delivery system of a first media outlet, and a second local log from a second transaction delivery system of a second media outlet The local logs represents media items scheduled for delivery by the media outlets. The enterprise hub also receives a first avail claim, to be inserted into both the first local log and the second local log, from a first content provider. The enterprise hub inserts the first avail claim into the first local log to generate a first revised log, and into the second local log to generate a second revised log. The first and second revised logs are transmitted from the enterprise hub to the corresponding first or second media outlet.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2020Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: iHeartMedia Management Services, Inc.Inventors: Kohinoor Basu, Matthew M.

Patent number: 10911519Abstract: A method for use in a media distribution system includes receiving media content at an enterprise hub from a plurality of media outlets via a communication network. The method continues by assigning a unique identifier to the media content. The method continues by receiving at the enterprise hub, from the plurality of media outlets via a communication network, a record of broadcast of the media content on a continuous ticker feed and analyzing the continuous ticker feed to detect the unique identifier. The method continues by automatically verifying if the media content broadcast as scheduled and classifying the media content broadcast. The method continues by generating and transmitting to at least a provider of the media content, from the plurality of media outlets, a displayable report of the classification of the media content broadcast.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2019Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: iHeartMedia Management Services, Inc.Inventors: Bobbi D.

Patent number: 10817910Abstract: A management and delivery method and system for a distributed marketing network. Access to one or more network service gateways associated with a distributed marketing network can be authorized, if particular criteria are satisfied. A business transaction may be coordinated with the distributed marketing network through network service gateways in a near real time fashion and without manual intervention, in response to authorizing the access to the network service gateways. The network service gateways may include a partner interface, a centralized hub that communicates with the partner interfaces, and/or a local market integrated service layer that communicates with the centralized hub and the partner interface.

Patent number: 10701133Abstract: A distributed media outlet can include both a traffic and billing system, and a media delivery system that employ separate broadcast logs, or playlists. An enterprise hub can transmit broadcast instructions to the media outlet via an integrated services layer (ISL), which acts as a multidirectional gateway between the enterprise hub and the media outlet. The ISL can synchronize the separate playlists used by the traffic and billing system and the media delivery system by simultaneously injecting the broadcast instructions into both systems included in the media outlet. The media delivery system and traffic and billing system can continually re-synchronize their playlists by, at least in part, relaying information to one another via the integrated services layer.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2017Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: iHeartMedia Management Services, Inc.Inventors: Kohinoor Basu, Matthew M.

Publication number: 20190081718Abstract: An improved automated media scheduling system includes a conditional scheduler operating in cooperation with the at least one master scheduler to obtain a contextual condition associated with a conditional media item, and devoid of entity identification information. Satisfying the contextual condition is a prerequisite to pairing the conditional media item with another media item. The conditional scheduler obtains an original schedule generated by the master scheduler, identifies a scheduled media item, from the original schedule, that satisfies the contextual condition, pairs the conditional media item and the scheduled media item to generate a media item pair, and transmits a proposed scheduling change, including the media item pair, to the master scheduler. The master scheduler evaluates the proposed scheduling change for compliance with scheduling rules.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2018Publication date: March 14, 2019Applicant: iHeartMedia Management Services, Inc.Inventors: Bobbi Denise Schuster, Matthew M.

Publication number: 20170177645Abstract: A system and method for managing media advertising enterprise data including a process for learning enterprise data matching. An EDM (Enterprise Data Management) application module can be configured to include a set of rules at an enterprise level to manage disparate and disconnected records associated with an entity. A number of unmatched and enterprise entities that matches with respect to an active entity can be returned based on a fuzzy logic associated with various matching options stored in an EDM database. A matching process can then be performed to accurately match similar records regardless of manual input, location, and format of the records in a distributed system. Each unmatched record can then be assigned with a parent enterprise entity. Such an optimization mechanism can interactively manage and report records at the enterprise level in a simple and efficient manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2017Publication date: June 22, 2017Applicant: iHeartMedia Management Services, Inc.Inventors: Kohinoor Basu, Angel Barnachea Chua, Matthew M.
