System and method for event context-based commerce options
There is provided a system and method for providing context-based limited availability commerce options. There is provided a method comprising receiving a sensor data sample corresponding to a segment for an event, matching the sensor data sample to a media record in a media database, the media record including an identity of the event, generating an advertising campaign of limited availability commerce options using a context including the identity of the event and a location of a device, and presenting the advertising campaign on a display of the device. When the event corresponds to a theatrical movie showing, the segment may correspond to the first few measures of a song for an end credit roll, and the sensor data sample may be recorded from a microphone. The commerce options may be limited based on time, location, demographics, user or group participation, and other criteria.
1. A method for providing commerce options through a mobile device having a processor, a sensor and a display, the method comprising:
sensing, using the sensor, a credit roll segment of a movie being shown;
converting, by the processor, the sensed credit roll segment of the movie to a sensor data sample corresponding to the sensed credit roll segment of the movie;
transmitting, by the processor, the sensor data sample to a server;
receiving, by the processor, from the server, an advertising campaign generated by the server based on an identity of the movie determined by the server by matching the sensor data sample to a media record corresponding to the movie in a media database, and identifying the movie using the media record corresponding to the movie, wherein the media record includes the identity of the movie; and
displaying, by the processor, the advertising campaign on the display of the mobile device.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the advertising campaign includes a commerce option limited by a location of the mobile device being within a proximity of a location of a movie theater of the one or more movie theaters showing the movie.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the advertising campaign includes a commerce option limited by a time window.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the advertising campaign includes a commerce option limited by the mobile device reaching a participation threshold in an activity.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the activity is a group activity including nearby mobile devices.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sensor is at least one of a microphone, a light sensor and a camera.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting further transmits a user profile of the mobile device to the server, and wherein the advertisement campaign is further based on the a user profile of the mobile device.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sensing of the segment of the movie is in response to detecting a location of the mobile device within a proximity of a location of a movie theater of the one or more movie theaters showing the movie.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the advertising campaign includes a commerce option for purchasing a copy of the movie.
10. A mobile device:
a display;
a sensor configured to sense a credit roll segment of a movie being shown; and
a processor configured to:
convert the sensed credit roll segment of the movie to a sensor data sample corresponding to the sensed credit roll segment of the movie;
match the sensor data sample to a media record corresponding to the movie in a media database;
identify the movie using the media record, wherein the media record includes an identity of the movie;
generate an advertising campaign using a context, wherein the context includes the identity of the movie; and
display the advertising campaign on the display of the mobile device.
11. The mobile device of claim 10 , wherein the advertising campaign includes a commerce option limited by a location of the mobile device being within a proximity of a location of a movie theater of the one or more movie theaters showing the movie.
12. The mobile device of claim 10 , wherein the advertising campaign includes a commerce option limited by a time window.
13. The mobile device of claim 10 , wherein the advertising campaign includes a commerce option limited by the mobile device reaching a participation threshold in an activity.
14. The mobile device of claim 13 , wherein the activity is a group activity including nearby mobile devices.
15. The mobile device of claim 10 , wherein the sensor is at least one of a microphone, a light sensor and a camera.
16. The mobile device of claim 10 , wherein the context further includes a user profile of the mobile device.
17. The mobile device of claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to sense the segment of the movie in response to detecting a location of the mobile device within a proximity of a location of a movie theater of the one or more movie theaters showing the movie.
18. The mobile device of claim 10 , wherein the advertising campaign includes a commerce option for purchasing a copy of the movie.
