Requesting a re-prompt based on learned behavior
View Patent ↗A system for determining to request a re-prompt for a metering device, includes: a data store including a computer readable medium storing a program of instructions for determining to request the re-prompt; a processor that executes the program of instructions; a registration module to register a media consumer associated with the metering device; a behavior learning unit to learn a behavior associated with the registered media consumer; a behavior determination unit to determine a difference between the behavior associated with the registered media consumer and a behavior associated with a present media consumer; and a re-prompt determination unit to request the re-prompt to the metering device based on the difference being greater than a predetermined threshold.
1. A system for determining to request a re-prompt for a metering device, comprising:
a data store comprising a computer readable medium storing a program of instructions for determining to request the re-prompt;
a processor that executes the program of instructions;
a registration module to register a media consumer associated with the metering device;
a behavior learning unit to learn a behavior associated with the registered media consumer;
a behavior determination unit to determine a difference between the behavior associated with the registered media consumer and a behavior associated with a present media consumer; and
a re-prompt determination unit to request the re-prompt to the metering device based on the difference being greater than a predetermined threshold.
2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the re-prompt determination unit requests the re-prompt to the metering device based on the difference being greater than a predetermined threshold and after a predetermined time interval.
3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the metering device is a web meter.
4. The system according to claim 3 , wherein the learned behavior is an average amount of time associated with the registered media consumer's access of a web site.
5. The system according to claim 3 , wherein the learned behavior is a scope associated with the registered media consumer's web browsing activities.
6. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the behavior learning unit learns for a predetermined time.
7. The system according to claim 6 , wherein the behavior determination unit determines the difference after the predetermined time.
8. A method for determining to request a re-prompt for a metering device, comprising:
receiving, by a processor, a registration of a media consumer for a device implemented with the metering device;
learning, by the processor, a behavior associated with the registered media consumer;
determining, by the processor, a difference between the registered media consumer's behavior and a present media consumer's behavior; and
in response to the difference being greater than a predetermined threshold, requesting by the processor, the re-prompt to be transmitted to the metering device.
9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the requesting of the re-prompt to be transmitted is further based on a predetermined time interval elapsing.
10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the metering device is a web meter.
11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the learned behavior is an average amount of time associated with the registered media consumer accessing of a web site.
12. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the learning of behavior occurs for a predetermined time.
13. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the determination of the difference occurs after the predetermined time.
14. A system for learning behavior associated with a media consumer interaction with a metered device, comprising:
a data store comprising a computer readable medium storing a program of instructions for the learning of the behavior;
a processor that executes the program of instructions;
a behavior detector unit to detect the behavior of the registered media consumer usage of the metered device;
a behavior database to store the detected behavior of the registered media consumer; and
a behavior determination unit to detect a difference between the stored behavior of the registered media consumer and a present media consumer.
15. The system according to claim 14 , wherein the metering device is a web meter.
16. The system according to claim 15 , wherein the learned behavior is an average amount of time associated with the registered media consumer accessing a web site via the metered device.
17. The system according to claim 15 , wherein the learned behavior is a scope associated with the registered media consumers web browsing activities via the metered device.
18. The system according to claim 14 , wherein the behavior detector unit detects the behavior for a predetermined time.
19. The method according to claim 18 , wherein the learned behavior is a scope associated with the registered media consumers web browsing activities.
20. The system according to claim 18 , wherein the behavior determination unit detects the difference after a predetermined time.
