A method for identifying a plurality of related computing devices related to a transaction account includes: storing token profiles, each including data related to a payment token including a digital token number, associated transaction account number, computing device identifier, and computing device data; receiving a transaction data entry related to an electronic transaction including transaction data and one of: a specific transaction account number or an associated specific digital token number; identifying a plurality of related token profiles where the included associated transaction account number corresponds to the specific transaction account number; identifying a third party entity associated with at least one identified token profile; and electronically transmitting the transaction data included in the transaction data entry and at least one of: the computing device identifier and computing device data included in each of the identified plurality of related token profiles to the third party entity.

A method and system for determining attribution for a computing device, which includes receiving an attribution request, wherein the attribution request includes at least a specific computing device identifier and an indication of an advertisement; identifying a digital token number associated with the specific computing device identifier; identifying a primary account number corresponding to the identified digital token number and one or more alternative digital token numbers also corresponding to the identified digital token number; identifying a transaction data entry related to an electronic transaction, wherein the transaction data entry includes transaction data and one of: the digital token number, the primary account number, and one of the one or more alternative digital token numbers; and electronically transmitting an attribution message to the third party entity, wherein the attribution message includes attribution of the indicated advertisement to the related electronic transaction.

There is provided a content output system, a terminal device, a content output method, and a recording medium which can increase accuracy in measurement of a degree of attention to content. A content output system including a communication unit which receives a signal from a surrounding user device, an output unit which outputs content, and a control unit which determines, on the basis of user state data indicating a state of a user corresponding to a user device, which is included in a broadcast signal from the user device, that the user corresponding to the user device is paying attention to content output by the output unit when a radio wave intensity of the received signal is equal to or higher than a predetermined value.

Touchpoint encounters, which represent exposure to messages transmitted through a network to users, include attributes that define universal unique identifiers (UUIDs) for user devices and at least one cross-device user engagement stack. The cross-device user engagement stack consolidates the touchpoint encounters from the user devices with different UUIDs but associated with a single user. A stimulus attribution predictive model outputs attribution parameters to estimate an effectiveness of the messages to elicit positive responses from the users. Media buy execution feed parameters are generated to quantify a set of spending amounts, based on the attribution parameters, so as to specify a cost-effective amount to deliver one of the messages to the users. The media buy execution feed parameters are delivered to programmatic media buying execution platforms that attempt to deliver the messages in accordance with the spending amounts.

A system for collecting and indexing data by associating a unique identifier (generated by and provided from an external computer system) with a data file. The data file is acquired from a user operated computer system. The system comprising a series of computers provided in signal communication with one another via a network. The data file could include data collected by a form provided by a website hosted by a web server. Additional data collected from other sources (stored as a record), such as a computer system operated by an agent, would be associated with the collected data file by an inquiry management company. The collected data and associated records are forwarded to a computer system that tracks online users/visitors. The process can marry computer collected data (other than the data file) about website activity with activities independent of the website.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, systems, and computer-readable media for: tracking a location of a mobile asset configured to propagate through space, and associated with content to be transmitted to a device within a region defined by the location of the mobile asset as the mobile asset propagates through the space; defining the region surrounding the mobile asset that follows the mobile asset it propagates through the space; receiving an indication that the device is within the region defined by the location of the mobile asset; transmitting the content associated with the mobile asset to the device, wherein transmitting the content comprises confirming at least one of: a first condition defining an environment around the device, a second condition defining a path from the mobile asset to a destination; and a third condition identifying a plurality of brand assets within the region of the mobile asset.

A method for determining effectiveness of placing promotion information includes: characteristic information sent by multiple terminals is received to obtain multiple pieces of characteristic information, the characteristic information being obtained by monitoring promotion information by the terminals respectively and the characteristic information including specified accounts of a social application or terminal information; statistics on a total number of exposures of and a total number of clicks on the promotion information is made based on the characteristic information; user attributes corresponding to the terminals are determined to obtain multiple user attributes based on the characteristic information; statistics on a number of hit exposures of the promotion information is made based on the multiple user attributes and a target user attribute of the promotion information; and effectiveness of placing the promotion information is determined based on the number of hit exposures, the total number of exposures and the total number of clicks.

Server side content impression progression tracking is performed using ping triggers and pings. A server generates ping triggers for content based on an impression list from a configuration provided by the content originator. The server sets different times at which the ping triggers are to fire during content playback. When media playback on a client reaches a time set for a ping trigger, the ping trigger causes the client to return a ping to the server to indicate that playback has reached the designated time. In this manner, the pings granularly track content viewership on different clients, wherein the granular tracking measures not only whether content was viewed or not, but also how much of the content was viewed. Subsequent content to a particular client can be customized based on preferences derived from pings tracked from the particular client.

A method for representing and managing an inventory of overlapping multi-dimensional items such as advertising or ad impressions. The method uses an inventory management module to generate unique segment identifiers for sets of inventory items by processing descriptions of the sets of impressions including defining criteria. The method includes processing the unique segment identifiers to create a representation of the inventory as a plurality of inventory regions, which may include non-overlapping regions that correspond to inventory items in a single set of the inventory and also include overlapping regions that correspond to inventory items in two or more of the sets (e.g., items that match two or more sets of defining criteria or attributes). Availability and selection of inventory is determined using the information on inventory regions to control effects of cannibalization, such as by implementing logically necessary allocation to only cannibalize a region on a limited or forced basis.

A cloud-based consumer data aggregation and segmented marketing communication system and process that use suppression and duplication algorithms are disclosed. The system includes a database that is accessible by user over the Internet. The system performs the process to track redemption and follow user defined rules for predefined messaging and promotions. Data is aggregated, cleansed, segmented, suppressed and distributed using pre-defined user rules.
