Abstract

A method of providing feedback related to advertisement data includes receiving a request from a set-top box device at an advertisement data management system. The request indicates that data related to a particular advertisement is to be sent to a mobile device associated with the set-top box device. The method also includes sending the data related to the particular advertisement, and collateral information including customer location information, to the mobile device. Further, the method includes receiving data from a point of sale venue indicating that a transaction based on the data related to the particular advertisement has been completed. The method also includes storing transaction completion data and the customer location information at a database accessible to an advertisement data source system.

Claims

1. A method of providing feedback related to advertisement data, the method comprising:

receiving a request from a set-top box device at an advertisement data management system, the request indicating that data related to a particular advertisement is to be sent to a mobile device associated with the set-top box device;

sending the data related to the particular advertisement, and collateral information including customer location information, to the mobile device;

receiving data from a point of sale venue indicating that a transaction based on the data related to the particular advertisement has been completed; and

storing transaction completion data and the customer location information at a database accessible to an advertisement data source system.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the request includes an advertisement identifier corresponding to the particular advertisement.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the advertisement identifier is included in the collateral information.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the collateral information includes a program identifier.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving the transaction completion data and at least a portion of the collateral information from the point of sale venue.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a request from the advertisement data source for transaction completion data related to the particular transaction and sending the transaction completion data and at least a portion of the collateral information to the advertisement data source.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a request from the advertisement data source for transaction completion data related to a plurality of transactions that includes the particular transaction; and

sending the transaction completion data and at least a portion of the collateral information to the advertisement data source.

8. A system to provide feedback related to advertisement data, the system comprising:

an advertisement data management system (ADMS) including processing logic and memory accessible to the processing logic, wherein the memory includes instructions executable by the processing logic to;

receive a request from a set-top box device, the request indicating that data related to a particular advertisement is to be sent to a mobile device associated with the set-top box device;

retrieve the data related to the advertisement from an advertisement data database;

send the data related to the particular advertisement, and collateral information including customer location information, to the mobile device;

receive data from a point of sale venue indicating that a transaction based on the data related to the particular advertisement has been completed; and

store transaction completion data and the customer location information at a feedback database accessible to an advertisement data source system.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the customer location information includes a zip code or a zip+4 code.

10. The system of claim 8, wherein the memory includes instructions executable by the processing logic to retrieve the customer location information from a user data database.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the ADMS includes at least one interface adapted to facilitate communication between the ADMS and the user data database, the advertisement data database, and the feedback database.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the user data database, the advertisement data database, and the feedback database comprise at least one database.

13. The system of claim 8, wherein the mobile device is a cellular phone.

14. The system of claim 8, wherein the data related to the particular advertisement includes an electronic coupon.

15. The system of claim 8, further comprising a network interface adapted to communicate with a point of sale system and wherein the memory includes instructions executable by the processing logic to receive the transaction completion data and at least a portion of the collateral information from the point of sale system.

16. The system of claim 8, wherein the ADMS is adapted to send the data related to the particular advertisement and the collateral information to the mobile device via short messaging service (SMS), e-mail, Internet, voice call, or any combination thereof.

17. A computer-readable medium having processor-readable instructions that are executable by a processor to perform a method, the method comprising:

receiving a request from a set-top box device at an advertisement data management system, the request indicating that data related to a particular advertisement is to be sent to a mobile device associated with the set-top box device;

sending the data related to the particular advertisement, and collateral information including customer location information, to the mobile device;

receiving data indicating that a transaction based on the data related to the particular advertisement has been completed; and

storing transaction completion data and the customer location information at a database accessible to an advertisement data source system.

18. The computer-readable medium of claim 17, wherein the data indicating that a transaction based on the data related to the particular advertisement has been completed is received from the mobile device and wherein the method further comprises sending a confirmation code to the mobile device.

19. The computer-readable medium of claim 17, wherein the method further comprises receiving the confirmation code from a point of sale terminal before storing the transaction completion data.

20. The computer-readable medium of claim 17, wherein the data related to the particular advertisement includes a bar code.

21. A method of providing feedback related to advertisement data, the method comprising:

receiving a request from a mobile device at an advertisement data management system, the request indicating that data related to a particular advertisement is to be sent to the mobile device;

sending the data related to the particular advertisement, and collateral information including customer location information, to the mobile device;

receiving data indicating that a transaction based on the data related to the particular advertisement has been completed; and
