Abstract

The present invention relates to systems and methods for message media content synchronization. One embodiment relates to a system that includes an advertising database, a synchronization module, and an advertising vehicle. The advertising database stores a plurality of advertisements and receives new advertisements. The synchronization module receives synchronization information and schedules advertisements from the advertising database according to the synchronization information. The synchronization information includes information related to how particular advertisements interact with one another simultaneously over various forms of media. The synchronization module then broadcasts advertisements from the advertising database according to the schedule via the advertising vehicle. Each of the processes may be performed manually or automatically depending on available resources.

Claims

1. A system for message media content synchronization comprising:

an advertising database configured to store a plurality of advertisements;

a synchronization module configured to create a schedule of advertisements from the advertising database according to a set of synchronization information; and

an advertising vehicle that is configured to broadcast the schedule of advertisements via at least two advertising media.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the advertising database further includes a storage device capable of storing the plurality of advertisements.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the advertising database is configured to store a plurality of different media advertisements.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the advertising database includes profiles on each of the stored plurality of advertisements, wherein the profiles relate to various characteristics of the advertisements.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the synchronization information includes profile interaction information which is analyzed in relation to the profiles stored in the advertising database and then utilized by the synchronization module in creating a schedule of advertisements.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the profile interaction information includes conflicts, positive interactions, negative interactions, and confusing interactions.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the synchronization information includes proposed scheduling information which is utilized by the synchronization module in creating a schedule of advertisements.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the advertising vehicle includes a data communication system including at least one of a wired connection and a wireless connection.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the advertising database, synchronization module, and advertising vehicle are disposed on at least two independent computing systems data coupled via a data link.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the data link includes at least one of the Internet, a wired connection, and a wireless connection.

11. A system for message media content synchronization comprising:

an advertising database configured to store a plurality of advertisements, wherein a set of profiles is stored for each of the advertisements that relates to the characteristics of the advertisement;

a synchronization module configured to create a schedule of advertisements from the advertising database according to a set of synchronization information, wherein the synchronization information includes profile interaction information and proposed schedule information; and

an advertising vehicle that is configured to broadcast the schedule of advertisements via at least two advertising media.

12. A method for message media content synchronization comprising the acts of:

receiving synchronization information related to the interaction of at least two messages;

scheduling a plurality of messages based on the synchronization information; and

broadcasting the scheduled plurality of messages.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the act of receiving synchronization information further includes:

receiving profile interaction information that indicates various message interactions based on particular message characteristics; and

receiving proposed schedule information that indicates desired message schedules for at least two media.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the act of scheduling a plurality of messages based on the synchronization information further includes analyzing the profile interaction information and the proposed schedule information.

15. The method of claim 12, wherein the scheduled plurality of messages include messages on multiple different media.

16. The method of claim 12, wherein the act of scheduling a plurality of messages based on the synchronization information further includes analyzing profile information about the plurality of messages.
