Abstract
A data structure embodied on a computer-readable medium is disclosed. The data structure may include database schema such as a structured query language (SQL) database. The database schema may include a tiered reward schema that cooperates with a competition schema to reward contestants based on their status in the tiered reward schema. The tiered reward schema may encourage contestants that introduce and promote new songs and artist via their virtual or digital record label.
Claims13
A data structure embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable medium having a database schema for accessing and managing a tiered incentive program in a structured query language (SQL) database, the database schema comprising:
- a contest schema including a plurality of contests, each contest including:
- virtual music labels corresponding to virtual music record IDs and each including a plurality of songs, artists, and/or music videos;
- and
- relational data tables tracking the plurality of songs, artists, and/or music videos of the virtual music labels;
- a tiered reward schema including:
- first-tier rewards issued to a first user upon adding a new song, artist, and/or label to a first virtual music label from the virtual music labels;
- and
- second-tier rewards issued to a first group of users upon each user in the first group of users adding the new song, artist, and/or label from the first virtual music label to a corresponding virtual music label of each of the users in the first group of users, the first-tier rewards being greater than the second-tier rewards;
- and
- an application configured to access and manage the contest schema and reward schema to determine a reward for the first user and each user in the first group of users using one or more activity tracking parameters.
An incentivized electronic platform comprising:
- a processor including a computer having a central processing unit (CPU) for executing machine instructions and a memory for storing the machine instructions, the machine instructions configured to perform the following functions:
- a) generate a contest having a contest timer with a start time and an end time;
- b) receive a plurality of digital record labels, each digital record label corresponding to a respective one of a plurality of user transceivers and including a plurality of albums, songs and/or artists selected from one or more digital registers on the respective one of the plurality of user transceivers;
- c) initiate an activity tracking algorithm to assign points to each digital record label based on one or more activity tracking parameters and a tiered reward, the tiered reward providing (i) a first number of points to a user that introduces a new album, song, and/or artist onto the platform, (ii) a second number of points to each user of a first group of users that selects and/or shares the new album, song, and/or artist, the first number of points being greater than the second number of points;
- and
- d) display, at a user transceiver, a score based on the points assigned to each digital record label.
