Maharashtra, India
The following specification describes the nature of the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION:
The present invent/on relates to a system and method for advertisement submission, selection, delivery and rating. The invention allows for advertisement selection and delivery based on user rating inputs and user profile in a socially engaging network. The invention facilitates the user's involvement in deciding on advertisements they would like to receive.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
Competitive environment, products for niche markets and most importantly ever growing promotional advertisement delivery strategies by the enterprises "warrant a continuous upgradation of technology towards advertisement delivery methods and systems that should enable a person to receive advertisements only to his preference.
The supplementation of advertisement along with the information content allows telecom Service providers and Media & Entertainment groups (advertisers) to deliver the information content at a reduced price rate to the user. The supplementation of advertisement along with primary information content is also part of branding activities which ensures advertisement of brands/messages with the viewer.
However, the current practices fail to consider whether or not the user would be really interested in the quality of the advertisements so received along with the content. Thus there is a need to have an advertising rating mechanism within the viewer community.
In the state of the art especially in the Telecom, Media and Entertainment and Internet industry the advertisements are mixed-in with the content (like within a movie, SMS or MMS or a webpage) or sent as individual advertisements independent of any content. In the current practice, the advertisement supplied with the content leave viewers/users with no choice, other than to watch/read/listen/p!ay advertisements which they may not be interested in, while the present invention proposes a method and a system that ensures that the advertisements delivered to the user are of high quality and of user's preference that can be watched again and again without erosion of user's interest.
Some of the earlier inventions, which propose a system and method for advertisement delivery, are as follows:
US Patent application 20060212350 by Ellis et al teaches that the system provides an automatically targeted network for text and graphical advertising based on cost-per-action bidded pricing, wherein actions comprise any of acquisitions, purchases, downloads registrations, donations, clicks, and impressions. Contextual, search and behavioral relevance features are integrated to optimize ad selection for advertisers, who enter action objectives, associated bids, and creatives or catalog assets.
US Patent 6,925,469 granted to Headings et al teaches an open business platform that provides an end-to-end solution for managing, distributing, and/or retailing digital media assets from various content suppliers. The invention provides an integrated system that permits media content suppliers to deposit their media assets with the system where they are prepared by a content management system for distribution to consumers via a secure distribution system.
US Patent application 20060287916 filed by Starr Steven et al teaches systems and methods that relate to enabling content item generators to present content items for association of advertisements; enabling an advertiser to request association of an advertisement with at least one of the presented content items; and tagging the content items so that upon a subsequent user interaction with a content item that has an associated advertisement, an action may be automatically taken to facilitate payment of a share of revenue for the associated advertisement to an account of the content item generator.
US Patent 7,158,943 granted to Van der Riet teaches an interactive marketing communication and transaction services platform for managing personalized customer relationships. The platform facilitates communication and transactions between consumers, retailers and manufacturers, by helping suppliers customize product/service offerings, presentations and advertising messages to reflect individual consumers' needs, while providing portals with premium advertising messages for personal interactive info/news/entertainment services.
US Patent application 20050131762 filed by Bharat Krishna et al teaches Generation of user information for use in targeted advertising. User profile information for a user may be determined by determining initial user profile information for the user, inferring user profile information for the user, and determining the user profile information for the user using both the initial user profile information and the inferred user profile information.
In light of the above mentioned prior arts, it is evident that there is a need to provide a customizable system and method for managing the delivery of advertisements based on user preference score in a social network.
Further, in light of the prior arts, there is a need to have a system for delivering advertisements based on user preference score wherein such system also has ability to manage other auxiliary tasks and compliances related to the delivery of advertisements.
In the present invention, we propose a novel approach for managing the delivery of advertisements based on user preference score in a social network
The system and method as proposed in the present invention thus solves a long-standing problem by using techniques described later in the detailed description to achieve:
