Abstract
Systems and methods are operable to distribute targeted assets to a plurality of media devices. An exemplary embodiment generates an asset file defined by an asset file time period, wherein target assets are selected for saving into the asset file when the intended initial presentation time of a target asset falls within the asset file time period of the asset file that is being generated. Then, the asset file is communicated to a plurality of media devices at a time in advance of the intended initial presentation times of a target asset of the asset file.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- storing a plurality of target assets, where each target asset of the plurality of target assets is associated with a respective time corresponding to when the target asset is specified as available to be presented;
- selecting target assets from the plurality of target assets;
- generating an asset file for a specified time period, where:
- the asset file comprises the selected target assets;
- and
- the respective times associated with the selected target assets are within the specified time period;
- and
- transmitting the asset file to one or more media devices, where the asset file is packaged in a reduced storage format.
A system comprising:
- a processor system communicatively coupled with memory and configured to perform operations comprising:
- storing a plurality of target assets, where each target asset of the plurality of target assets is associated with a respective time corresponding to when the target asset is specified as available to be presented;
- selecting target assets from the plurality of target assets;
- generating an asset file for a specified time period, where:
- the asset file comprises the selected target assets;
- and
- the respective times associated with the selected target assets are within the specified time period;
- and
- transmitting the asset file to one or more media devices.
One or more non-transitory, machine-readable media having machine-readable instructions thereon which, when executed by one or more processing devices, cause the one or more processing devices to perform:
- storing a plurality of target assets, where each target asset of the plurality of target assets is associated with a respective time corresponding to when the target asset is specified as available to be presented;
- selecting target assets from the plurality of target assets;
- generating an asset file for a specified time period, where:
- the asset file comprises the selected target assets;
- and
- the respective times associated with the selected target assets are within the specified time period;
- and
- causing transmitting the asset file to one or more media devices, where the asset file is packaged in a reduced storage format.
