Abstract: A call and web-based analytics system that optimizes advertising conversion includes collection of call and web-based transaction information to establish digital entity based on customer transaction history. The collection of call and web-based data establishes buyer purchasing cycle scorecard that reflects the buyer's transactional history. Advertisers can search, match and/or bid for customers that meet the criteria based on both call and web-based transactional history. Ads are delivered based on customer buying cycle process stage to match the timing of purchase and buying cycle. Optimized response rates and sales conversions are achieved by targeting matched ads during the customer purchasing cycle stage based on matched customer transactional history and collected customer profile information.

Abstract: A video-on-demand (VOD) system is disclosed and method for providing a real-time VOD experience using Tempo-Differential file transfer with various buffering techniques and an adaptive file distribution system. The system is configured to populate users' Set-Top-Boxes (STBs) with a set of videos which correspond to the individual user's preferences, and populates a Central Office Storage (COS) server with a larger set of videos based on an analysis of all of the users' preferences. The system thus provides a real time VOD service by either correctly predicting the videos that a user will request and preloading them onto that user's STB, or by delivering the requested video from the COS to the STB using a Tempo-Differential file transfer which delays the playing of the requested video while video trailers or other information is displayed on the video screen. When using a DSL connection to the COS, only a portion of the requested video needs to be buffered on the STB before the requested video begins playing.
