Abstract

A system and method for delivering advertising content to a game title gaming environment is provided where the method includes storing advertising content into a content database, integrating content data cells into the game title gaming environment, populating the cache file on a users gaming system with the advertising content, associating at least a portion of the advertising content in the cache file with at least one content cell and displaying the associated advertising content on a gaming screen via the at least one content cell.

Claims

1. A method for delivering advertising content to a game title gaming environment, the method comprising:

storing advertising content into a content database;

integrating content data cells into the game title gaming environment;

populating the cache file on a users gaming system with the advertising content;

associating at least a portion of the advertising content in the cache file with at least one content cell; and

displaying the associated advertising content on a gaming screen via the at least one content cell.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said associating includes associating at least one IP address with at least one location ID translation.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising loading said at least one IP address to at least one location ID translation onto an IP location server.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising generating location data by mapping at least one IP address to at least one unique market identifier.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein said associating further includes connecting a remote server with an IP location server.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein said associating further includes communicating at least one of an IP address of the user, an application ID and a user ID to said IP location server.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein said associating further includes associating an IP address of a user with a unique location ID.

8. The method of claim 5, further comprising executing predetermined business rules using predetermined parameters.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein said predetermined parameters are responsive to at least one of a market-ID assigned to the user and which content-server may be the most appropriate for serving content to the user.

10. A system for implementing a method for delivering advertising content to a game title gaming environment, the system comprising:

a means for storing advertising content into a content database;

a means for integrating content data cells into the game title gaming environment;

a means for populating the cache file on a users gaming system with the advertising content;

a means for associating at least a portion of the advertising content in the cache file with at least one content cell; and

a means for displaying the associated advertising content on a gaming screen via the at least one content cell.

11. The method of claim 10, further includes coding content cells into the gaming environment.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein said associating includes associating at least one IP address with at least one location ID translation.

13. The method of claim 12, further comprising loading said at least one IP address to at least one location ID translation onto an IP location server.

14. The method of claim 13, further comprising generating location data by mapping at least one IP address to at least one unique market identifier.

15. The method of claim 10, wherein said associating further includes connecting a remote server with an IP location server.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein said associating further includes communicating at least one of an IP address of the user, an application ID and a user ID to said IP location server.

17. The method of claim 10, wherein said associating further includes associating an IP address of a user with a unique location ID.

18. The method of claim 15, further comprising executing predetermined business rules using predetermined parameters.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein said predetermined parameters are responsive to at least one of a market-ID assigned to the user and which content-server may be the most appropriate for serving content to the user

20. A computer readable storage medium having computer executable instructions for implementing a method for delivering advertising content to a game title gaming environment, the method comprising:

storing advertising content into a content database;

integrating content data cells into the game title gaming environment;

populating the cache file on a users gaming system with the advertising content;

associating at least a portion of the advertising content in the cache file with at least one content cell; and

displaying the associated advertising content on a gaming screen via the at least one content cell.
