Abstract
Various example embodiments relate to incentivized media delivery. In example embodiments, a media delivery device has access to a plurality of media. The device may receive an external factor from each of a plurality of remote devices. In response, the device may select media from the media storage based on the received external factors, notify each remote device of the availability of the media, and provide an incentive for acquisition of the selected media.
Claims15
A media delivery device, comprising:
- a processor coupled to media storage and an input, wherein the media storage includes a plurality of media and the input is to receive m external factor from each of a plurality of remote devices;
- and
- logic, which when executed by the processor:
- selects media from the plurality of media based upon the external factor received from each remote device,
- notifies the plurality of remote devices of the availability of the selected media, and
- incentivizes the acquisition of selected media by the plurality of remote devices based upon the external factor received from each remote device.
A media delivery method, comprising:
- receiving, at a processor including a transactional interface, an external factor communicated by each of a plurality of remote devices;
- selecting media from a plurality of media based upon the external factor received from each of the plurality of remote devices;
- and
- offering an incentive for acquiring the selected media via the transactional interface to the plurality of remote devices, wherein the incentive is determined using the external factor received from each of the plurality of remote devices.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing an instruction set executable by a processor of a media delivery device, the instruction set comprising instructions to:
- receive an external factor communicated by each of a plurality of corresponding remote devices, wherein each external factor specifies a geographical location of the corresponding remote device;
- select media from a plurality of media based on each external factor;
- and
- incentivize acquisition of the selected media by the plurality of remote devices by providing a discount based on a total number of remote devices within a given geographical area.
