A method and system for targeting content (e.g., a service or an advertisement) according to location-based information derived from a mobile wireless transceiver device. Position information as a function of time is used to calculate a rate of travel and a direction of travel. This information can be used to identify a likely mode of transportation. Geographical information can be used to further refine the mode of transportation. Thus, in addition to the position of the wireless transceiver devices, factors such as the rate of travel, the direction of travel and the likely mode of transportation are also considered to more precisely identify the appropriate service. Moreover, a potential destination can be predicted, allowing further refinement of the targeted service.

An improved system and method for advertising to video program viewers that sends a signal from a signal provider that contains a video program file, a video advertisement file, a video program data file, and a video advertisement data file to a viewer's addressable video recording device (DVR). When the signal is received by the DVR, the video and program and data files are separated and stored locally in separate databases. The video program file may be delivered directly to the viewer' television or monitor for immediate viewing. The video program data information file contains the target demographic profile information and the commercial break information for the video program. The video advertisement file and the video advertisement data file are stored in a video advertisement library database and video advertisement information, database, respectively. Loaded into the memory of the DVR is an advertisement play list generator software program that generates a list of advertisements stored on the DVR recorder to be played back during the video program.

A system and method for distributing information to interested users according to predefined preferences over the Internet. The invention provides improved techniques for reaching potential recipients, for simplifying the initial response by interested individuals, and for facilitating the gathering and organizing of information from those individuals. The communication structure includes one or more servers and a plurality of dedicated client-side communication modules ("comm modules"). The servers store multimedia entertainment, advertising, or other information content and as well as profile information for the users of the comm modules. The stored information is organized according to the user profiles and is selectively made available for downloading on demand. The comm modules are preferably made available for installation on the client-side computers by distribution as an adjunct to the information, advertising or entertainment content of a multimedia product such as a CDROM or DVD. Profile information is developed the first time a user goes on line after installing the software. The comm module displays a small icon on the user's desktop which changes state whenever there is new information on the server corresponding to the user's profile. Users may then access the information at their convenience. The comm module includes a mini Web browser programmed for display of full-featured Web pages. It is compatible with operating systems commonly in use, and is runtime configurable and upgradable via server configuration messages. When the user goes online, the comm module connects directly to a routing server at a predetermined Internet address.
