Benefits of technology

[0021] Now, for the first time, a system for packaging and communicating profile data to ad sources such that dynamic ads may be selected and delivered based on mean changes in the profile data is provided. Such a system provides a much greater degree of compliance of delivered ads to a user's preferences and status states enabling a greater hit rate and a greater profit margin for ad companies.

Problems solved by technology

A typical user profile automatically compiled by a Web company is limited to information that can be obtained from the user while at one of the company-sponsored sites, or through interacting with the user during registration processes.
As such, the profile is not complete or well rounded and tends to reflect content related to the nature of business conducted by the Web company.
Therefore, they are not really as flexible or target-oriented as might be desired by both users and advertising companies.

Embodiment Construction

[0026]FIG. 1 is an overview of a communication network 9 wherein cobrand-user profiling is practiced according to an embodiment of the present invention. Communication network 9 contains all of the equipment and network connections required in order to establish a functional network-communication capability.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, communication network 9 is implemented on the Internet network, which is represented herein by an Internet backbone 11. Internet backbone 11 represents all of the lines, connection points, and equipment that make up the Internet network as a whole. Therefore, there is no geographic limit to the practice of the present invention.

[0028] A plurality of cobrand servers (CBS) 23, 25, and 27 are illustrated, in this example, as connected to Internet backbone 11. CBS 23-27 are adapted as Internet file servers dedicated to users of cobrand services provided by a service-providing company, which also maintains the servers. A mai...

Abstract

An advertisement selection and delivery system for selecting advertisements based on profile information and rendering the advertisements as accessible to a user operating a network-capable appliance connected to a data-packet-network is provided. The system comprises, a first server node connected to the network, the first server node functioning as a user access point on the network, a mass storage repository accessible to the first server node, the repository for storing and serving user profile data, a second server node connected to the network, the second server node for generating user preference data, at least one advertisement server connected to the network, the advertisement server for serving advertisement data, a software application for generating user preference lists and performing advertisement selection and at least one network-capable appliance connected to the network the network-capable appliance for receiving the advertisement data. A user operating the network-capable appliance accesses the first server node and receives the advertisement data, the advertisement data selected for service by matching the user preference data to stored advertisements and rendered accessible to the user during the time of user access to the system from the network-capable appliance.
