Abstract

An analytic platform, article of manufacture, system, computer-readable medium, and method for selecting and inserting advertisements for delivery to a content viewing device. A plurality of advertising metrics are generated from data originating from a plurality of content viewing devices. Then, an advertisement is selected for presentation along with content directed to one of the content viewing devices, the advertisement being selected based on the advertising metrics. Once selected, the advertisement is added to the content for delivery to said one of the content viewing devices.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for selecting advertisement for delivery to at least one content viewing device, comprising:
a memory; and
at least one processor coupled o the memory and configured to:
receive data originating from a social media application on a first device of a plurality of content viewing devices;
receive data originating from a second device of the plurality of content viewing devices that is connected to a packet based network;
generate a plurality of advertising metrics from the data originating from at least the first device and the second device and store the plurality of advertising metrics in the memory;
receive and store quality of playout of content on each of at least the first device and the second device, the quality of playout of content including birate and buffering levels for the content to be transmitted and displayed on each of the first and second device;
apply the plurality of advertising metrics to an analytics engine that includes at least one of content analytics, advertising analytics, sales analytics, pricing analytics, and social media analytics to generate a set of advertising metrics;
select media for the content directed to one of the first and second devices based on the generated set of advertising metrics and based on the stored quality of playout of content associated with the one of the first and second devices; and
add the selected media to the content for delivery to the one of the first and second devices.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to automatically select at least one content delivery network (CDN) to deliver the selected media added to the content to the one of the first and second devices, wherein the at least processor selects the at least one CDN to maximize a quality of experience (QoE) at the one of the first and second device.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the maximized QoE is determined based on at least one of:
a quality of service (QoS) performance measurement associated with a physical transmission of the content and the media to one of the first and second devices,
a performance measurement regarding infrastructure involved with the physical transmission of the content and the selected media to the one of the first and second devices,
a performance measurement regarding a content delivery network involved with the physical transmission of the content and the selected media to one of the first and second devices,
a performance measurement regarding a web site involved with the delivery of the content and the selected media to the one of the first and second devices,
a performance measurement regarding a mobile application of the one of the first and second devices involved with the delivery of the content and the selected media, and
a performance measurement regarding reception of the content and the selected media by the one of the first and second devices.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to generate a best stream profile based on the determined maximized QoE and to automatically and dynamically change a routing of the selected media to the one of the first and second devices based on the generated best stream profile.

5. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to automatically select the bitrate for a data stream to deliver the selected media to the one of the first and second devices, wherein the at least processor selects the bitrate for the data stream to maximize a quality of experience (QoE) at the one of the first and second device.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the generated plurality of advertising metrics comprise social media content sharing metrics including at least one of a quantity of sharing of the social media content and a duration of the sharing of the social media content.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to select the media based on metadata associated with the content with which the selected media will be added for delivery to the one of the first and second devices.
