  • Publication number: 20230066059
    Abstract: A storage unit stores broadcast contact information indicating a degree of contact from receivers for each of a plurality of pieces of broadcast information broadcasted by a broadcast medium. A calculation unit calculates a statistic by using broadcast contact information of first broadcast information included in the plurality of pieces of broadcast information and broadcast contact information of second broadcast information broadcasted after the first broadcast information. The statistic to be calculated is a statistic having a larger contribution of the broadcast contact information of the second broadcast information than a contribution of the broadcast contact information of the first broadcast information. A prediction unit determines predicted contact information indicating a degree of contact from receivers for broadcasting-scheduled broadcast information based on the statistic.

  • Publication number: 20210224854
    Abstract: To place an efficient advertisement to a particular target. A spot planning evaluation system according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire information for identifying effective areas configured with advertisement slots with particular-target content rates equal to or larger than a given threshold; and a control unit configured to perform, in order that a sum total of total audience ratings (acquired gross rating point (GRP) rates) expected to be acquired by the advertisement slots of the effective areas with respect to all advertisement slots during a given period becomes a given value, adjustment of acquired GRP rates of all the advertisement slots during the given period.

  • Publication number: 20200074502
    Abstract: An advertisement space optimization system for optimizing an advertisement space broadcast on a broadcast medium includes a system for high-advanced rating estimate (SHARE) and a target actual optimization system (TAOS). The SHARE is configured to predict a target audience rating with an accuracy higher than a predetermined accuracy and/or receive an input of rating rate data measured in real time by a third party organization, and transmit predicted audience rating data for an advertisement space and/or audience rating data immediately before broadcast to the TAOS. The TAOS is configured to receive from the SHARE the predicted audience rating of an advertisement to be broadcast and/or audience rating data of the advertisement immediately before on air (OA), reallocate arrangement of a material for an advertisement space based on third data obtained by evaluating a difference between first data and second data, and transmit a specification of the reallocated material.
