Abstract: A media management system that generates a plurality of values associated with a promotion impact measure for each of the promotional campaigns based on historical data that is acquired and an expected audience. Inventory unit needs are determined for each of the promotional campaigns that corresponds to a promotion inventory utilization of a plurality of inventory utilization types, based on at least the generated plurality of values. The determined inventory units for each of the promotional campaigns are utilized to dynamically allocate inventory from a defined amount of inventory units among each inventory utilization types to meet a plurality of defined parameters for the defined amount of inventory units for one or more specified durations until an end of the upcoming time-frame.

Abstract: A television advertising management system that handles a plurality of deals for a plurality of advertiser, determines which of the plurality of deals have a guaranteed audience, and are under delivering, and allocates reserve under delivery units to each of the plurality of deals that are under delivering to bring each of the plurality of deals that are under delivering to corresponding attainable lower targets while honoring corresponding deal constraints. An under delivery value is maximized such that the attainable lower targets are met, while honoring corresponding deal constraints to provide an allocation solution, and a total penalty from deviations from selling title mix distributions, and weekly distributions is minimized for each of the plurality of deals that are under delivering subject to an additional lower bound on the under delivery value.

Abstract: An advertisement scheduler receives a commercial break schedule generated from a completed assignment of one or more spots that correspond to the deals comprising advertiser's orders to place the spots into one or more commercial breaks in the commercial break schedule based on constraints and placement requirements. The advertisement scheduler may determine representative liability per pending spot for the deals and reshuffle the placement of the spots based on the representative liability of the deals in order to minimize liability associated with the deals. The advertisement scheduler may reshuffle the placement of the spots for maximum delivery of candidate deals, where the reshuffle is based on a forecast of expected viewership associated with the deals, and a pacing computation of cumulative demographics guaranteed at a particular point in time, modify the forecast based on weighting factor, and generate a finalized commercial break schedule based on the reshuffling.

Abstract: A media management system that handles a plurality of deals for a plurality of advertisers and a plurality of promotional campaigns, receives input and/or parameters for each of the plurality of deals that corresponds to an upfront inventory utilization type and commercial operator break (COB) inventory utilization type, of a plurality of inventory utilization types. Reserve inventory units for each of the plurality of promotional campaigns that corresponds to a promotion inventory utilization type of the plurality of inventory utilization types, are determined for a specified upcoming time-frame. Inventory units from a defined amount of inventory units are dynamically allocated among each inventory utilization types of the plurality of inventory utilization types to meet a plurality of defined parameters for the defined amount of inventory units for one or more specified durations until end of the specified upcoming time-frame.

Abstract: A system is provided that generates values associated with a promotion impact measure for each promotional campaign based on historical data and an expected audience. A number of inventory units is determined for each promotional campaign that corresponds to a promotion inventory utilization type, based on a difference in estimated demand value for the inventory units for a specified duration for a scatter inventory utilization type and current value of actual demand units for the specified duration and a gross sum of the values for defined number of weeks of each promotional campaign and a plurality of constraints. Inventory units are allocated among each inventory utilization type based on number of inventory units for each promotional campaign to meet defined parameters for the defined amount of inventory units for specified durations until the end of the specified upcoming time-frame. Content is distributed via a channel based on allocated inventory units.

Abstract: A cross-platform management system that handles cross-platform management of client requirements receives a request corresponding to a plurality of client-defined requirements to be achieved in a flight. The request for the plurality of client-defined requirements is associated with request parameters. The system generates a proposal plan corresponding to the received request based on adjustment of the one or more request parameters. The proposal plan corresponds to a distribution of target audience across a set of delivery platforms. The system executes the generated proposal plan for a first time period in the flight on one or more delivery platforms. The system re-optimizes the generated proposal plan and controls execution of the generated proposal plan for a second time period in the flight by an in-flight re-distribution of the target audience across one or more delivery platforms of the set of delivery platforms.

Abstract: A system is provided that determines reserve inventory units required for each promotional campaign. Based on one of input parameters to meet defined parameters for defined amount of inventory units for one or more specified durations until end of a specified upcoming time-frame, inventory units are allocated from defined amount of inventory units among each inventory utilization type. Incremental value of revenue from each inventory utilization type is optimized and ratings for previously allocated inventory units assigned to a promotion inventory utilization type is increased. Previously allocated inventory units are periodically adjusted and re-distributed among each inventory utilization type based on difference in demand value of an estimated inventory units forecasted for upcoming specified duration and actual value of the inventory units for current duration. Based on remaining inventory units and each inventory utilization type, schedule of a channel is communicated to a user device, via a network.

Abstract: An audience proposal creator determines a target cost per thousand (CPM) baseline and a demographics CPM baseline for a deal offering audience spots, determines deal constraints based on a target CPM reduction goal, a demographics CPM cap, and the established parameters, and generates rates by selling title for each selling title-weeks for a duration of pending deal, and for each network of a plurality of networks based on the constraints. Target and demo audience rating estimates are acquired based on the target and demo applicable to the advertiser for the plurality of networks, and a distribution of the audience spots generated across the plurality of selling title-weeks, and networks based on the target audience rating estimates, a budget for the pending deal, the generated rates, and available inventory per selling title-weeks, and a proposal generated based on the distribution. An audience processor schedules audience spots across one or more networks for selling title-weeks based on the distribution.

Abstract: A hardware media items scheduling and packaging system, which schedules and distributes channels to be viewed on a plurality of consumer devices, extracts contextual data from program-specific information associated with programming media content of a channel received from a distribution source device. A plurality of potential non-programming media items is determined for a plurality of users based on a match between a sentiment type of each of a plurality of non-programming media items and the extracted contextual data. Based on at least the extracted contextual data and the sentiment type of each of the plurality of potential non-programming media items, a plurality of candidate spots in the programming media content is determined. Based on at least a set of constraints and user estimation data associated with the plurality of users, a schedule of non-programming media item(s) is dynamically generated for at least one candidate spot in the programming media content.
