Problems solved by technology

However, this patent does not disclose how advertisement queues that are intelligently prioritized and interactively updated are built.
Thus, although the patent discloses that on-line networks can be used to deliver targeted advertisements, it does not disclose the mechanism for building targeted queues accounting for the exposures of users to those ads, and the real-time management of priorities, frequencies, and types of content to be shown.

Embodiment Construction

[0025] The present invention will now be described according to preferred embodiments of the present invention and in connection with the accompanying Figures.

Overview

[0026] A preferred embodiment of the overview of the system is shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the system includes five major components: the queue builder 10, the on-line queue manager 20, the exposure accounting module 30 the computer mediated communications network 40 and the information warehouse manager 50. Implemented as a whole, the system provides a mechanism for targeting content in a computer mediated communication network or other medium.

[0027] The system takes data input from providers of information and / or access services in the computer mediated communications network 40. Data is provided that uniquely identifies and describes subscribers to the communications / information service. Additional data is provided that uniquely identifies and describes the content segments that will be targeted. Finall...

Abstract

Prioritized queues of advertising and content data are generated by a queue builder and sent to an on-line queue manager. A computer mediated communications network provides content and subscriber data to the queue builder and receives content segment play lists from the on-line queue manager. An exposure accounting module calculates and stores information about the number of exposures of targeted material received by subscribers and generates billing information. An information warehouse manager is employed to receive data from advertisers' data bases and third party sources as well as from the computer mediated communications network.
