Abstract

Systems and methods relate to display of insights, including a method including: causing a user display to display a graphical user interface (GUI) that enables a user to select a time range and a single digital display as a locale; and causing, based on the user selecting the time range and the single digital display as the locale, the user display to display, on the GUI, a list of a plurality of media content that have been displayed on the single digital display, each of the plurality of media content being ordered according to analysis insight for the single digital display selected and the time range selected. The analysis insight may include at least opportunity to see (OTS) counts of the plurality of media content on one or more digital displays associated with the locale.

1. A method performed by a remote computing system, the method comprising:

causing a user display to display a graphical user interface (GUI) that enables a user to select a time range and a single digital display as a locale; and

causing, based on the user selecting the time range and the single digital display as the locale, the user display to display, on the GUI, a list of a plurality of media content that have been displayed on the single digital display, each of the plurality of media content being ordered according to analysis insight for the single digital display selected and the time range selected:

receiving, via a wide area network, analytics data from a local computing system that generates the analytics data by processing images received from at least one camera; and

obtaining opportunity to see (OTS) counts of the plurality of media content based on the analytics data, wherein

the analysis insight includes at least the OTS counts of the plurality of media content on one or more digital displays associated with the locale, and

each of the OTS counts is a count of people who were determined to have had an opportunity to see a respective media content displayed on at least one of the one or more digital displays.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

causing, in response to the user selecting media content of the list of the plurality of media content displayed on the GUI, the user display to display, on the GUI, age and gender distributions of the OTS count of the media content selected for the single digital display selected and the time range selected, wherein

the list of the plurality of media content and the age and gender distributions are displayed at a same time.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

causing, in response to the user selecting media content of the list of the plurality of media content displayed on the GUI, the user display to display, on the GUI, age and gender distributions of an impression count of the media content selected for the single digital display selected and the time range selected, wherein

the impression count is a count of views by people of the media content on the single digital display of the locale.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein

the GUI displayed enables the user to select one or both of triggered media content and non-triggered media content of the plurality of media content that have been displayed on the single digital display, and the GUI displays the list of the plurality of media content based on selection of one or both of the triggered media content and the non-triggered media content,

the triggered media content is media content selectively displayed on the single digital display based on information about at least one person while the at least one person is at the locale, and

the non-triggered media content is media content that is displayed on the single digital display according to a playlist of the media content scheduled in advance.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the analytics data includes customer demographics data, and

wherein the local computing system is configured to select media content from the plurality of media content based on applying the customer demographics data to a rule set or AI model, and cause the single digital display to play the media content based on selecting the media content.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

receiving, from the local computing system via the wide area network, additional analytics data comprising dates and times of displaying of the plurality of media content on the single digital display, a customer identification (ID) of at least one person of the people, and orientation information of a face of the at least one person; and

wherein the obtaining comprises obtaining the OTS counts of the plurality of media content based on the analytics data and the additional analytics data.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

receiving proof of play data that comprises the dates and the times of displaying of the plurality of media content on the single digital display, and IDs of the plurality of media content displayed on the single digital display; and

obtaining the OTS counts of the plurality of media content based on the analytics data and the proof of play data.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the analytics data includes customer demographics data, and

the method further comprises receiving additional analytics data comprising dates and times of displaying of the plurality of media content on the single digital display, a customer identification (ID) of at least one person of the people, and orientation information of a face of the at least one person; and

the obtaining comprises obtaining the OTS counts of the plurality of media content based on the analytics data.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein

the analysis insight further includes impression counts that are counts of views by people of the plurality of media content on the one or more digital displays associated with the locale, and

the GUI enables the user to select a type of the analysis insight used for ordering each of the plurality of media content.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

causing the user display to display, on the GUI, detailed information comprising at least one attribute among an age attribute, a gender attribute, and a weather attribute, and a weightage of the least one attribute, wherein

the detailed information is used as a rule for triggering playing of media content of the list of the plurality of media content.

11. A system comprising:

a remote computing system comprising at least one processor, the remote computing system configured to cause a user display to display a graphical user interface (GUI), wherein

the GUI enables a user to select a time range and a single digital display as a locale,

the GUI displays a list of a plurality of media content that have been displayed on the single digital display, each of the plurality of media content being ordered according to analysis insight for the single digital display and the time range selected,

the remote computing system is further configured to:

receive, via a wide area network, analytics data from a local computing system that generates the analytics data by processing images received from at least one camera; and

obtain opportunity to see (OTS) counts of the plurality of media content based on the analytics data,

the analysis insight includes at least the OTS counts of the plurality of media content on one or more digital displays associated with the locale, and

each of the OTS counts is a count of people who were determined to have had an opportunity to see a respective media content displayed on at least one of the one or more digital displays.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein

in response to the user selecting media content of the list of the plurality of media content displayed on the GUI, the GUI displays age and gender distributions of the OTS count of the media content selected for the single digital display selected and the time range selected, and

the list of the plurality of media content and the age and gender distributions are displayed at a same time.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein

in response to the user selecting media content of the list of the plurality of media content displayed on the GUI, the GUI displays age and gender distributions of an impression count of the media content selected for the single digital display selected and the time range selected, and
