Abstract

A process for verifying the playback of media content on a display includes receiving a digital representation of at least a portion of media content playing on the display, comparing the received digital representation to media content that was scheduled to play on the display from which the digital representation was captured and verifying the playback of the received digital representation if the received digital representation matches the compared media content. The process can further include soliciting a viewer of the display to capture a digital representation of at least a portion of the media content being presented on the display and to communicate the captured digital representation to an advertised location.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of the filing date of US Provisional Application Serial No. 61 / 469,416, filed March 30, 2011, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to media playback, and more particularly to a method for providing proof of performance through image playback verification. Background technique [0004] In a media playback environment such as a retail advertising environment, for in-store advertising systems, an authentication system is currently used to record all media playback events. These authentication systems are sophisticated and operate to record the time and title of all media played on the playback screen. For example, such systems use sensors in playback devices to monitor what is being played and record playback results. These records are then sent via a communication link to a central location for ana...
