Abstract
A system and related techniques host and serve selective, orchestrated advertising campaigns and other content to users depending on contributing advertisers' campaign strategies as well as user interests, prior history or experiences. User's may navigate to a Web or other network site which contains or invokes ads or other media or content. When ad or other content is called, a user identifier may be checked, to determine whether the user has subscribed to or had a profile established with the orchestrated ad platform. If the user does have a unique user identifier associated, an ad engine may perform a lookup of the identifier against potential ad campaigns or delivery modes, to deliver a more coherent or orchestrated stream of ads or other media to the user.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The invention relates to the field of networked media, and more particularly to a platform for generating a set of differentiated advertising content which may be selectively delivered to users in an orchestrated fashion, based on a coherent marketing strategy designed to meet user needs and interests with enhanced effectiveness.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0004] The growth of Internet and other networked advertising services has increased in recent years, and the online advertising industry continues to expand. The effectiveness and reach of ad serving techniques and the strategies of ad campaigns have become more important as advertisers and Internet service providers proliferate, and reach greater numbers of consumers. However, even today most ad delivery strategies remain comparatively static and undifferentiated, and deliver mostly the same content to a broad cross-section of consumers, regardless of their differing needs or interests.
= 51405-59
= 51405-59
[0005] For instance, while some Internet search services have, for instance, implemented locality engines which detect a user's location through reverse IP
lookups or other methods, even local content which is then delivered within an area is typically delivered to all users in that area in an undifferentiated manner.
That is, in those and other scenarios, users are presented with the same selection of banner ads, popups, audio or video streams or other content regardless of their preferences, history or potential interest in related products or services.
lookups or other methods, even local content which is then delivered within an area is typically delivered to all users in that area in an undifferentiated manner.
That is, in those and other scenarios, users are presented with the same selection of banner ads, popups, audio or video streams or other content regardless of their preferences, history or potential interest in related products or services.
[0006] An advertiser using a conventional delivery system therefore can not modulate or orchestrate the type, frequency, intensity or volume of advertising or other content for a user or group of users, based on user interests or needs, or related advertising opportunities. Moreover advertising approaches can not be selected from a set of diverse types of campaigns, to arrange an optimal sequence, depth or breath of advertising experience for a given user or group of users. Instead, the same or similar ads may be served to all users, or specified groups of users in a comparatively static fashion, and, in general, based on a product-centered rather than user-driven experience. Other shortcomings in conventional ad delivery platforms exist.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0007] Some aspects of the invention overcoming these and other problems in the art relate in one regard to a system and method for generating an orchestrated advertising campaign, in which a middle-tier ad engine or other control logic may detect participating users via an identifier and then serve differentiated ads. or other content to users based on orchestrated, strategic campaigns designed to have the greatest amount of impact on the recipients based on an overall marketing strategy. In some embodiments, a user may '51405-59 navigate to a Web site or other networked site which may call for banner ads, popups, streaming media or other content for insertion and delivery to the user's browser or other application or tool. However, according to some embodiments of the invention a check may be made for a user identifier indicating that the recipient may wish to, or be a candidate for orchestrated ad delivery, for instance based on past user behavior including visited site history, site dwell times, past transaction history or other factors.
According to some embodiments in one regard, the ad engine may access a content database hosting a set of diverse ad campaigns and associated content, each designed for different tailored experiences such as immersive or "surround" type advertising or content, a sequence of logically related content, or other campaign themes or delivery strategies. An ad campaign or type of campaign may be selected based on the destination Web site, as well as the user's identifier and history and advertiser campaign selections or strategies. That selectable, orchestrated content may then be served to the Web site or to the user, to experience a cohesive set of media or content based on those dynamic variables. Thus a user who visits a travel Web site who may, for example, have recently purchased and taken trips to tropical destinations may be presented with a series of airline, hotel and restaurant advertisements for coastal destinations. The inventive platform therefore may assess the nature, history, length and purposes of a user's typical online session for a given Web site or other destination and then identify the sequence, frequency, duration and mix of ads or other content that may have the greatest potential impact on the user's attention and interests, within the context of that session.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a computing system for generating selectable orchestrated advertisement content for delivery via a network, comprising: an interface to a client that receives an access request to a network site from a user, the client performs the following: opens a session with the network site, obtains browsing and transaction histories for the user from a database, provides one or more placeholders at various placements within the network site, and generates a user identifier for the user that encodes average dwell during visits to network addresses included in the browsing and transaction histories for the user; and a content engine, the content engine communicating with the interface, the content engine generating orchestrated advertisement content for delivery in connection with the network site based on identification of the network site and the user identifier, and determining whether content included in the network site matches content for recent visits to network addresses included in the browsing and transaction histories for the user: (1) when the content included in the network site matches the content for the recent visits, transmitting during a session of the user orchestrated advertising content that is similar to the content included in the network site to the user, the orchestrated advertising content comprises a set of advertising campaigns and the set of advertising campaigns comprises at least one of a synchronized advertising format and a sequenced advertising format, both the synchronized advertising format and the sequenced advertising format render various media types at the various placements within the content included in the network site, the rendered media types of the set of advertising campaigns are timed to complete within the average dwell time encoded in the user identifier; and (2) when the content included in the network site fails to match the content for the recent visits, transmitting general advertisement content to the user.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for generating selectable orchestrated advertisement content for delivery via a network, comprising: receiving an access request to a network site via a client from a user, wherein the client performs the following: opens a session with the network site, obtains browsing and transaction histories for the user from a database, provides one or more placeholders at various placements within the network site, and generates a user identifier for 3a the user that encodes average dwell during visits to network addresses included in the browsing and transaction histories for the user; and generating orchestrated advertisement content for delivery in connection with the network site based on identification of the network site and the user identifier, and determining whether content included in the network site matches content for recent visits to network addresses included in the browsing and transaction histories for the user: (1) when the content included in the network site matches the content for the recent visits, transmitting during a session of the user orchestrated advertising content that is similar to the content included in the network site to the user, the orchestrated advertising content comprises a set of advertising campaigns and the set of advertising campaigns comprises at least one of a synchronized advertising format and sequenced advertising format, both the synchronized advertising format and the sequenced advertising format render various media types at the various placements within the content included in the network site, the rendered media types of the set of advertising campaigns are timed to complete within the average dwell time encoded in the user identifier; and (2) when the content included in the network site fails to match the content for the recent visits, transmitting general advertisement content to the user.
According to still another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a computer-readable storage medium having computer executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to implement the method as described above or below.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for generating selectable orchestrated content for delivery via a network, comprising:
receiving an access request to access a network site from a user during a request session;
generating orchestrated advertising content for delivery in connection with the network site based on identification of the network site and a user identifier, wherein the identifier is associated with average dwell time of the user during visits to network addresses; specifying a tailored delivery mode for the network site and the request session, wherein the tailored deliver mode limits the orchestrated advertising content to content that is related to single 3b = 51045-59 vendor, and wherein a length of the time the orchestrated advertising content is viewable by the user is proportional to the average dwell time of the user.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided one or more computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method for generating a set of orchestrated content for delivery via a network, the one or more computer-readable media being configured to store the orchestrated content, the method comprising:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
[0005] Fig. 1 illustrates an environment in which a system and method for generating an orchestrated advertising campaign may operate, according to embodiments of the invention. As illustrated in that figure, a user may operate a client 102 including a user interface 104, such as a graphical user interface or other interface, to access networked sites and content, such as Web sites on the Internet or others. The client 102 may be or include, for instance, a computer, a network-enabled cellular telephone, a network-enabled personal digital assistant or other client, machine or device which may be connected to Internet or other network connections via wired, wireless, optical or other connections or channels. The user may for example use client 102 to navigate and access a Web site 114 or other network sites, using a browser or other application or tool.
Docket No. 310014.01 MFCP.116112 [0006] According to embodiments of the invention in one regard, when a user navigates to a Web site 114 or other Internet or other network site or destination, that site may present the user with a set of content, which may include for example text, images, audio or other media, for example encoded in hyper text markup language (HTML), extensible markup language (XML) or other code or formats. When a user accesses Web site 114 or other site or location, for instance by entering a universal resource locator (URL) or other network address or identifier, the fixed content for that page may be generated for transmission to client 102. According to embodiments of the invention, however, additional content or media may also be generated for transmission to the client and display in a set of configurable content slots 106, or other dynamic or selectable content areas in the user interface 104, browser or other application. The set of configurable content slots 106 may be or include, for instance, placeholders, slots or areas for the display of banner ads, streaming audio or video clips, flash animations or slide shows, or other content or media. That content or media may in embodiments be or include advertising content, such as advertisements for display on a Web page or other site.
[0007] More particularly, when a user navigates to Web site 114 or other location, Web site 114 may issue a call for a set of selectable orchestrated content 108 to a content engine 110, for instance via a transfer control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) or other procedure or call. According to embodiments of the invention in one regard, the content engine 110 may also receive, directly or indirectly, a user identifier 116 when the Web or other site is accessed, and the content for the page or site is being generated. In embodiments, the user identifier 116 may be or include, for example, a tracking or information object such as a cookie or other data or file which Docket No. 310014.01 MFCP.116112 encodes information about the user and in cases, their browsing or transaction history.
In embodiments the user identifier 116 may also include a profile generated by way of explicit user dialogues, or other feedback concerning browsing, transaction or other preferences.
According to some embodiments in one regard, the ad engine may access a content database hosting a set of diverse ad campaigns and associated content, each designed for different tailored experiences such as immersive or "surround" type advertising or content, a sequence of logically related content, or other campaign themes or delivery strategies. An ad campaign or type of campaign may be selected based on the destination Web site, as well as the user's identifier and history and advertiser campaign selections or strategies. That selectable, orchestrated content may then be served to the Web site or to the user, to experience a cohesive set of media or content based on those dynamic variables. Thus a user who visits a travel Web site who may, for example, have recently purchased and taken trips to tropical destinations may be presented with a series of airline, hotel and restaurant advertisements for coastal destinations. The inventive platform therefore may assess the nature, history, length and purposes of a user's typical online session for a given Web site or other destination and then identify the sequence, frequency, duration and mix of ads or other content that may have the greatest potential impact on the user's attention and interests, within the context of that session.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
[0005] Fig. 1 illustrates an environment in which a system and method for generating an orchestrated advertising campaign may operate, according to embodiments of the invention. As illustrated in that figure, a user may operate a client 102 including a user interface 104, such as a graphical user interface or other interface, to access networked sites and content, such as Web sites on the Internet or others. The client 102 may be or include, for instance, a computer, a network-enabled cellular telephone, a network-enabled personal digital assistant or other client, machine or device which may be connected to Internet or other network connections via wired, wireless, optical or other connections or channels. The user may for example use client 102 to navigate and access a Web site 114 or other network sites, using a browser or other application or tool.
Docket No. 310014.01 MFCP.116112 [0006] According to embodiments of the invention in one regard, when a user navigates to a Web site 114 or other Internet or other network site or destination, that site may present the user with a set of content, which may include for example text, images, audio or other media, for example encoded in hyper text markup language (HTML), extensible markup language (XML) or other code or formats. When a user accesses Web site 114 or other site or location, for instance by entering a universal resource locator (URL) or other network address or identifier, the fixed content for that page may be generated for transmission to client 102. According to embodiments of the invention, however, additional content or media may also be generated for transmission to the client and display in a set of configurable content slots 106, or other dynamic or selectable content areas in the user interface 104, browser or other application. The set of configurable content slots 106 may be or include, for instance, placeholders, slots or areas for the display of banner ads, streaming audio or video clips, flash animations or slide shows, or other content or media. That content or media may in embodiments be or include advertising content, such as advertisements for display on a Web page or other site.
[0007] More particularly, when a user navigates to Web site 114 or other location, Web site 114 may issue a call for a set of selectable orchestrated content 108 to a content engine 110, for instance via a transfer control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) or other procedure or call. According to embodiments of the invention in one regard, the content engine 110 may also receive, directly or indirectly, a user identifier 116 when the Web or other site is accessed, and the content for the page or site is being generated. In embodiments, the user identifier 116 may be or include, for example, a tracking or information object such as a cookie or other data or file which Docket No. 310014.01 MFCP.116112 encodes information about the user and in cases, their browsing or transaction history.
In embodiments the user identifier 116 may also include a profile generated by way of explicit user dialogues, or other feedback concerning browsing, transaction or other preferences.
[0008] Thus, when content engine 110 receives a request from Web site 114 to retrieve and transmit or serve advertisements or other media or content as part of selectable orchestrated content 108, the content engine 110 may analyze the accessed site and/or user identifier 116 to identify orchestrated advertising or other content, to deliver in the context of that site, the content supplier and that user session. The content engine 110 may thus, for example, determine that the user has navigated to a Web site related to car repairs or service, and/or that the user recently completed an automobile purchase or lease transaction by way of transaction history encoded in user identifier 116. User identifier 116 may likewise encode other user behaviors or preferences, such as an average dwell time during the user's recent or long term Web site visits, language or currency preferences, location or other parameters related to the user's behavior or history.
[0009] The content engine 110 may factor in the Web site 114 identification along with user identifier 116, as appropriate, to identify and generate optimized, orchestrated advertising or other content according to coordinated marketing strategies or campaigns, in differentiated fashion. The selectable orchestrated content 108 served according to that orchestrated plan may be hosted in, and retrieved from a content database 112, or other content store which may be asynchronously called to deliver to the user visiting the Web site 114, transparently and dynamically.
As more particularly for instance illustrated in Fig. 2, the content database 112 may content at Docket No. 310014.01 MFCP.116112 least both orchestrated ad content 118 as well as general ad content 120.
Orchestrated ad content 118 may be accessed and served when the content engine 110 determines that the Web site 114 and/or user identifier 116 indicate that the user wishes to, or is a suitable candidate to receive targeted advertising or other campaign material.
In other cases in which Web site 114 can not be verified as a participant in the content delivery platform of the invention, or the user is not identified as a candidate for or wishes to receive orchestrated marketing media, the content engine 110 may delivery general ad content 120, for instance to display in configurable content slots 106 or otherwise.
As more particularly for instance illustrated in Fig. 2, the content database 112 may content at Docket No. 310014.01 MFCP.116112 least both orchestrated ad content 118 as well as general ad content 120.
Orchestrated ad content 118 may be accessed and served when the content engine 110 determines that the Web site 114 and/or user identifier 116 indicate that the user wishes to, or is a suitable candidate to receive targeted advertising or other campaign material.
In other cases in which Web site 114 can not be verified as a participant in the content delivery platform of the invention, or the user is not identified as a candidate for or wishes to receive orchestrated marketing media, the content engine 110 may delivery general ad content 120, for instance to display in configurable content slots 106 or otherwise.
[0010] In embodiments of the invention in another regard, an advertiser or other content supplier or other who generates, supplies or manages the orchestrated ad content 118 to be hosted in content database 112 or otherwise may be given an option to customize or program the content to be delivered, based on a set of criteria or conditions, if desired. For example, the selection or delivery of orchestrated ad content 118 or parts thereof may be made dependent on usage by or specific to individual users or groups of users, or specified Web sites or sequences of Web sites.
The particular orchestrated ad content 118 may likewise be conditioned on the occurrence of specified events such as purchase transactions, or based on other variables or data. For example, users whose browsing history indicates a relatively short dwell time on given Web sites or categories of Web sites may be served more concise ads or shorter audio or video clips, as part of orchestrated ad content 118.
The particular orchestrated ad content 118 may likewise be conditioned on the occurrence of specified events such as purchase transactions, or based on other variables or data. For example, users whose browsing history indicates a relatively short dwell time on given Web sites or categories of Web sites may be served more concise ads or shorter audio or video clips, as part of orchestrated ad content 118.
[0011] In the case when the Web site 114 and/or user identifier 116 indicate the delivery of orchestrated content, the content engine 110 may in embodiments, and as illustrated in Fig. 3, select a range of selectable orchestrated ad content 118 from a set of selectable orchestrated modes 122 for tailored delivery to that site and for that Docket No. 310014.01 MFCP.116112 session. The set of selectable orchestrated modes 122 or strategies may be or include, for instance, advertising campaign or other modes, techniques or strategies designed to achieve defined marketing and informational objectives, and thereby enhance the user's media experience. For example and as shown, the set of selectable orchestrated modes 122 may be or include surround sessions, in which all available configurable content slots 106 are occupied by advertisements or content for a single vendor, or a group of related products or services. Other immersive or comprehensive campaign modes or techniques may be used when a surround-type or similar session is deployed, including for instance the playing of audio or video clips related to a single product, vendor or service, or related sources, products or services arranged in a coherent group.
[0012] Similarly, the set of selectable orchestrated modes 122 may likewise include modes or campaign types such as synchronized campaigns, in which a series or sequence of related advertisements or content that build a consistent storyline or message over a session, or series of sessions, may be presented. A further mode may include a sequenced ad format, in which the set of selectable orchestrated content 108 may vary as a function of the user's location in the purchase funnel or other transaction sequence. In such cases, for instance, the user may be presented with a set of banner ads in the configurable content slots 106 while selecting products from an online catalogue, but presented with flash animations or other rich media when the user has progressed to the purchase phase of a transaction sequence. A further campaign mode may include a commercial break, in which an entire page may be temporarily replaced with an HTML or other advertisement or content. Other and further modes, strategies, campaigns and sequences are possible. According to = 51045-59 embodiments of the invention in general terms, because the selectable orchestrated content 108 seeks to maximize the impact or relevance of the advertising material or other content delivered to the user, the participating advertisers or other content suppliers may avoid wasteful content delivery and achieve more effective advertising results. Users may find the orchestrated content and media easier to interpret and more closely aligned with their interests and needs, thus also establishing a more positive base for future interactions.
[0019.11 In summary, in one embodiment of the invention, a content engine performs a lookup of a user identifier against potential advertisement campaigns or delivery modes and delivers a more coherent or orchestrated stream of ads or other media to the user based on the user identifier. Those selected campaigns may include for instance immersive delivery modes in which a number of advertisements related to an area of interest, such as cars and related services or foods and restaurants, may be delivered or streamed to the user's browser or other application at a comparatively high frequency or intensity. The sequence of that content may be conditioned on the user's browsing or other history, including topics of interest as expressed for example in prior search activity, in explicit questionnaires, or in prior purchase or shopping activity, as well as other behavioral patterns such as averaged length of browsing sessions, or other parameters. The effectiveness of the advertising or other content delivery campaign may be enhanced compared to undifferentiated delivery techniques because the user receives content that is targeted or tailored to reflect a meaningful relationship or theme to the user.
[0020] The foregoing description of the invention is illustrative, and modifications in configuration and implementation will occur to persons skilled in the art.
