Automatic Link Provisioning from Social Media Item Comments

The patent segments the broad consumer market into specific target groups based on real-time social media interactions and consumer behavior data. Instead of broadcasting to all consumers, the system divides the audience and delivers tailored advertisements to segments showing interest in specific products, thereby improving effectiveness while maintaining coverage through targeted distribution.

The patent applies local quality by customizing advertisement content and delivery timing to match the specific interests and behaviors of individual consumers or small groups at particular moments. Advertisements are localized to match real-time consumer desires captured through social media engagement, rather than using uniform mass messaging.

The patent uses social media platforms as intermediaries for data collection. Instead of building complex direct monitoring systems, the system leverages existing social media infrastructure to capture consumer interactions, likes, shares, and comments. This intermediary approach provides real-time consumer behavior data while avoiding the complexity of creating new monitoring infrastructure.

The patent enables consumers to self-reveal their interests and preferences through their own social media actions. Consumers naturally interact with content and products on social media platforms, and these self-generated actions serve as the data source for targeting. This eliminates the need for complex active monitoring systems, as consumers provide the data through their voluntary interactions.
