Method and system for identifying recipients of a reward associated with a conversion

1. A method, implemented on a machine having at least one processor, storage, and a communication platform capable of connecting to a network for evaluating a conversion, the method comprising:

extracting, from a closed loop blockchain, meta-information stored in a smart attribute evaluation package (SAEP) posted by an advertisement server on the closed loop blockchain and updated by the advertisement server in response to a beacon signal indicating a conversion associated with an advertisement displayed previously by a plurality of publishers, the meta-information including at least a conversion parameter, a time-out period, and a reward, wherein the meta-information corresponds to the conversion;

receiving, within the closed loop blockchain, by the SAEP, within the time-out period, a plurality of claims for the conversion from one or more servers of one or more of the plurality of publishers, wherein each of the servers claims that a corresponding publisher is a source of the conversion;

selecting, within the closed loop blockchain, by the SAEP, a claim corresponding to a publisher from the plurality of claims based on the conversion parameter and information included in the plurality of claims, wherein the publisher is identified as the source of the conversion; and

transmitting, within the closed loop blockchain, by the SAEP, information related to the selected claim to an advertiser.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

allocating a reward to the publisher in response to the claim corresponding to the entity being selected.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising one or more of:

transmitting the information related to the selected claim to the publisher identified as the source of the conversion; and

transmitting the information related to the selected claim to one or more of a third-party service provider, an offline or online seller, and a manufacturer.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein

the information included in each of the plurality of claims includes an attribute associated with the conversion, and

the claim corresponding to the publisher is selected based on matching the attribute with the conversion parameter.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the attribute is one of a time-stamp of the conversion associated with the advertisement and a number of impressions of the advertisement.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving an updated reward and an updated time-out period in response to receiving no claims for the conversion within the time-out period.

7. A system for evaluating a conversion, the system comprising:

a conversion parameter extractor included in a smart attribute evaluation package (SAEP), implemented by a processor and configured to extract, from a closed loop blockchain, meta-information stored in the SAEP posted by an advertisement server on the closed loop blockchain and updated by the advertisement server in response to a beacon signal indicating a conversion associated with an advertisement displayed previously by a plurality of publishers, the meta-information including at least a conversion parameter, a time-out period, and a reward, wherein the meta-information corresponds to the conversion;

an attribute extracting unit included in the SAEP, implemented by the processor and configured to receive, within the closed loop blockchain, within the time-out period, a plurality of claims for the conversion from servers of one or more of the publishers, wherein each of the one or more servers claims that a corresponding publisher is a source of the conversion;

an SAEP evaluation unit included in the SAEP, implemented by the processor and configured to select, within the closed loop blockchain, a claim corresponding to a publisher from the plurality of claims based on the conversion parameter and information included in the plurality of claims, wherein the publisher is identified as the source of the conversion; and

a SAEP update unit included in the SAEP, implemented by the processor and configured to transmit, within the closed loop blockchain, information related to the selected claim to an advertiser.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the SAEP update unit is further configured to allocate a reward to the publisher in response to the claim corresponding to the entity being selected.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein

the information included in each of the plurality of claims includes an attribute associated with the conversion, and

the claim corresponding to the publisher is selected based on matching the attribute with the conversion parameter.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the attribute is one of a time-stamp of the conversion associated with the advertisement and a number of impressions of the advertisement.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the SAEP update unit is configured to further perform one or more of:

transmitting the information related to the selected claim to the publisher identified as the source of the conversion; and

transmitting the information related to the selected claim to one or more of a third-party service provider, an offline or online seller, and a manufacturer.

12. The system of claim 7 , wherein the conversion parameter extractor is further configured to receive an updated reward and an updated time-out period in response to receiving no claims for the conversion within the time-out period.

13. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having information recorded thereon for evaluating a conversion, wherein the information, when read by the machine, causes the machine to perform following:

extracting, from a closed loop blockchain, meta-information stored in a smart attribute evaluation package (SAEP) posted by an advertisement server on the closed loop blockchain and updated by the advertisement server in response to a beacon signal indicating a conversion associated with an advertisement displayed previously by a plurality of publishers, the meta-information including at least a conversion parameter, a time-out period, and a reward, wherein the meta-information corresponds to the conversion;

receiving, within the closed loop blockchain, by the SAEP, within the time-out period, a plurality of claims for the conversion from servers of one or more of the plurality of publishers, wherein each of the one or more servers claims that a corresponding publisher is a source of the conversion;

selecting, within the closed loop blockchain, by the SAEP, a claim corresponding to a publisher from the plurality of claims based on the conversion parameter and information included in the plurality of claims, wherein the publisher is identified as the source of the conversion; and

transmitting, within the closed loop blockchain, by the SAEP, information related to the selected claim to an advertiser.

14. The medium of claim 13 , further comprising:

allocating the reward to the publisher in response to the claim corresponding to the entity being selected.

15. The medium of claim 14 , wherein the information, when read by the machine, causes the machine to further perform following one or more of:

transmitting the information related to the selected claim to the publisher identified as the source of the conversion; and

transmitting the information related to the selected claim to one or more of a third-party service provider, an offline or online seller, and a manufacturer.

16. The medium of claim 13 , wherein

the information included in each of the plurality of claims includes an attribute associated with the conversion, and

the claim corresponding to the publisher is selected based on matching the attribute with the conversion parameter.

17. The medium of claim 15 , wherein the attribute is one of a time-stamp of the conversion associated with the advertisement and a number of impressions of the advertisement.
