  • Patent number: 10628856
    Abstract: A system for providing multimedia content. The system includes means for transmitting targeted multimedia content to customers via a telecommunications network; and automatically receiving and outputting the content on a mobile platform. In the illustrative embodiment, the system includes means for encoding, compressing and storing content on a server. An applet is transmitted from the server to each mobile platform. When executed at the mobile platform, the applet deciphers the content and retrieves a schedule with a playback time. The content is then played out without interrupting the user. The applet may include credit code which adds time to a SIM card on the mobile platform giving a user credit time to use the device for one or more functions (communication, games, etc.) at no additional charge. The applet may also include a bar code which when displayed to a third party vendor, allows the user to receive a discount on purchases of goods or services related to the ad.

  • Publication number: 20100223093
    Abstract: A system for monitoring a subscriber's behavior. The novel system includes a first sub-system for obtaining a subscriber's responses to multimedia content previously delivered to the subscriber's device and a second sub-system for modifying a profile on the subscriber based on these responses. In an illustrative embodiment, the profile includes data on the subscriber's personal preferences on a plurality of categories, and the second sub-system includes a neural network artificial intelligence engine adapted to automatically refine the personal preferences based on the responses to previous content. The first sub-system includes an applet stored in and executed by the subscriber's device that records the subscriber's responses and actions in a data file and transmits the data file to the second sub-system. The second sub-system receives the recorded responses and actions from the applet and updates the subscriber's profile accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20100223638
    Abstract: A system for optimizing the scheduling of multimedia content for playback on a subscriber's device. The novel system includes a first sub-system for obtaining data on a subscriber's actions on the device and a second sub-system for recommending a playback time for new multimedia content based on the data. In an illustrative embodiment, the first sub-system includes an applet stored in and executed by the device adapted to record the subscriber's actions on the device, including the actual playback times of and the subscriber's responses to content previously delivered to the device. The second sub-system includes a neural network artificial intelligence engine adapted to analyze the subscriber's recorded actions to predict at what time the new content should be scheduled for playback on the device to maximize subscriber acceptance of the new content.

  • Publication number: 20100220596
    Abstract: A system for optimizing the routing of data to a subscriber's device. The novel system includes a first sub-system for obtaining records on when each of a plurality of routing methods was available to the device during a predetermined period of time and a second sub-system for recommending a time and routing method to deliver data to the device based on the records. In an illustrative embodiment, the first sub-system includes an applet stored in and executed by the device adapted to monitor what routing methods are available to the device and record what routing methods were available at what times in a data file. The second sub-system includes a neural network artificial intelligence engine adapted to analyze the recorded data to predict when routing methods will be available to the device and identify an optimum time and routing method that minimizes a cost for delivering the data.

  • Publication number: 20100223641
    Abstract: A system for optimizing the delivery of multimedia content to subscribers' devices. The novel system includes a first sub-system for obtaining data on subscribers' actions on their devices and a second sub-system for recommending a delivery solution for new content based on the obtained data. In an illustrative embodiment, the second sub-system includes a neural network artificial intelligence engine adapted to predict how subscribers will respond to new content based on their monitored responses to previous content, and identify subscribers predicted to have a positive response to the new content. Optionally, the second sub-system may also identify one or more subgroups of subscribers predicted not to have a positive response to the new content and recommend modifications to the content to improve the response of these subscribers.

  • Publication number: 20100223637
    Abstract: A system for setting a price for delivering multimedia content to subscribers' devices. The novel system includes a first sub-system for obtaining data on subscribers' actions on their devices and a second sub-system for determining a price to charge a content provider to deliver multimedia content to the devices based on this data. In an illustrative embodiment, the first sub-system includes an applet stored in and executed by each device adapted to record the subscriber's actions on the device, including the subscriber's responses to content previously delivered to the device. The second sub-system includes a neural network artificial intelligence engine adapted to determine a responsiveness of each subscriber based on their responses to previously delivered content and adjust the price based on the responsiveness of the subscribers selected to receive new content.
