Method and system for identifying recipients of a reward associated with a conversion
The present teaching relates to method and system for advertising. The method obtains information related to an operational smart attribution evaluation package (SAEP) posted on a platform. The SAEP is related to a conversion associated with an advertisement displayed by a plurality of entities. The method parses the SAEP to obtain a conversion parameter, and generates a claim for the conversion based on the conversion parameter and information related to the advertisement, if the advertisement was previously displayed. Further, the method transmits the generated claim to the SAEP to be evaluated whether a reward is to be allocated.
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:
sending, by a publisher to an advertiser within a closed loop blockchain, a public key;
receiving, by the publisher from the advertiser within the closed loop blockchain, a smart attribute evaluation package (SAEP) key associated with an SAEP that is posted on the closed loop blockchain by the advertiser in response to a signal indicating the conversion associated with an advertisement previously displayed; and
within a time-out period,
determining that there is a match between first information included in the SAEP related to the conversion and second information related to the advertisement stored in a database of the publisher,
generating a claim for the conversion, and
transmitting, by the publisher to the SAEP, based on the public key and the SAEP key, and within the closed loop blockchain, the claim to be evaluated on whether a reward is to be allocated to the publisher.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first information comprises one or more of a time-stamp and a geo-location of the conversion associated with the advertisement.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
polling the closed loop blockchain at predetermined time instances to determine whether a new SAEP is posted on the closed loop blockchain, the time instances being determined in accordance with a time model.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving an evaluation result associated with the claim.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
receiving a reward associated with the SAEP based on the evaluation.
6. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium having information recorded thereon for evaluating a conversion, when read by at least one processor, effectuate operations comprising:
sending, by a publisher to an advertiser within a closed loop blockchain, a public key;
receiving, by the publisher from the advertiser within the closed loop blockchain, a smart attribute evaluation package (SAEP) key associated with an SAEP that is posted on the closed loop blockchain by the advertiser in response to a signal indicating the conversion associated with an advertisement previously displayed; and
within a time-out period,
determining that there is a match between first information included in the SAEP related to the conversion and second information related to the advertisement stored in a database of the publisher,
generating a claim for the conversion, and
transmitting, by the publisher to the SAEP, based on the public key and the SAEP key, and within the closed loop blockchain, the claim to be evaluated on whether a reward is to be allocated to the publisher.
7. The medium of claim 6 , wherein the first information comprises one or more of a time-stamp and a geo-location of the conversion associated with the advertisement.
8. The medium of claim 6 , wherein the operations further comprise:
polling the closed loop blockchain at predetermined time instances to determine whether a new SAEP is posted on the closed loop blockchain, the time instances being determined in accordance with a time model.
9. The medium of claim 6 , wherein the operations further comprise:
receiving an evaluation result associated with the claim.
10. The medium of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise:
receiving a reward associated with the SAEP based on the evaluation.
11. A system for evaluating a conversion, the system comprising:
memory storing computer program instructions; and
one or more processors that, in response to executing the computer program instructions, effectuate operations comprising:
sending, by a publisher to an advertiser within a closed loop blockchain, a public key;
receiving, by the publisher from the advertiser within the closed loop blockchain, a smart attribute evaluation package (SAEP) key associated with an SAEP that is posted on the closed loop blockchain by the advertiser in response to a signal indicating the conversion associated with an advertisement previously displayed; and
within a time-out period,
determining that there is a match between first information included in the SAEP related to the conversion and second information related to the advertisement stored in a database of the publisher,
generating a claim for the conversion, and
transmitting, by the publisher to the SAEP, based on the public key and the SAEP key, and within the closed loop blockchain, the claim to be evaluated on whether a reward is to be allocated to the publisher.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the first information comprises one or more of a time-stamp and a geo-location of the conversion associated with the advertisement.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise:
polling the closed loop blockchain at predetermined time instances to determine whether a new SAEP is posted on the closed loop blockchain, the time instances being determined in accordance with a time model.
14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise:
receiving an evaluation result associated with the claim.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise:
receiving a reward associated with the SAEP based on the evaluation.
