Abstract
Based on the type of media consumed and when it is accessed, it is possible to identify times during which a particular user will likely be more receptive to particular types of related content. Aspects of the present disclosure, describe implementations that are configured to monitor media exposure and consumption of particular individuals using, for example, client device such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, or the like utilized primarily by one respective user. In some implementations, related content is then provided to a particular user when that user is more likely to be responsive to the related content based on media exposure and consumption patterns derived from usage patterns of the respective client device
Claims24
A method of tracking media exposure and receiving correlated content on a first mobile device including at least one processor and memory storing programs for execution by the at least one processor, the method comprising:
- referencing a portion of media content;
- collecting data that can be used to determine location of the first device, and linking the data to the reference;
- transmitting the reference to the portion of the media content to an information extraction module;
- receiving from the information extraction module one or more content elements correlated to the media content;
- and
- displaying the one or more content elements.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured for execution by a first mobile device with one or more processors, the one or more programs comprising computer program instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the first device to:
- reference a portion of media content;
- collect data that can be used to determine location of the first device, and linking the data to the reference;
- transmit the reference to the portion of the media content to an information extraction module;
- receive from the information extraction module one or more content elements correlated to the media content;
- and
- display the one or more content elements.

16-19. (canceled)
A system for tracking media exposure and receiving correlated content comprising:
- a first mobile device having one or more processors and non-transitory memory storing computer program instructions for execution by the one or more processors, upon execution the computer program instructions causing the first device to:
- reference a portion of media content;
- collect data that can be used to determine location of the first device, and linking the data to the reference;
- transmit the reference to the portion of the media content to an information extraction module;
- receive from the information extraction module one or more content elements correlated to the media content;
- and
- display the one or more content elements.
