Abstract

A multimedia data transmission and feedback system for integrating performance evaluations includes a server provided for an advertising owner to browse the performance of each advertising site before the advertising takes place. After the advertising owner reviews the advertising information, the advertising site and advertising device are evaluated and selected by an analysis module and a fee calculation module, and the advertising content is stored in a database at the server. A middle server transmits the advertising playing time and the ID code of the advertising device to the advertising device by the URL. At the playing time, the advertising device is connected to the advertising content of the database for instant play on the advertising device, and works together with a view counter for counting and analyzing the data of browser, and transmits the performance analysis information of the advertising to the advertising owner.

Claims

1. A multimedia data transmission and feedback system for integrating performance evaluations, being a technology of posting an advertising by an advertising owner through the Internet, and the system comprising a server, a middle server and a plurality of advertising sites, and each advertising site comprising an advertising device with an identification (ID) code, and said foregoing components being connected with each other through the Internet, characterized in that:

the server comprises an operating interface provided for the advertising owner to operate and input an advertising parameter condition, a database for storing an advertising performance information of each advertising device, an analysis module for analyzing the advertising parameter condition to obtain the advertising performance information of the advertising device that satisfies the advertising parameter condition, and a fee calculation module for calculating an advertising fee corresponding to the advertising performance information, wherein the advertising owner selects the desired advertising site, the advertising device and at least one advertising playing time according to the obtained advertising performance information, and uploads the desired advertising content into the database, and the server assigns a URL to the uploaded advertising content;

the middle server receives the ID code of the advertising device, the advertising playing time and the URL information transmitted from the server, and transmits the selected advertising playing time and URL information to the advertising device according to the ID code of the advertising device;

the advertising device is connected to the database according to the received URL when the advertising playing time is up, and instantly plays the advertising content, and the advertising device includes a view counter for determining and recording a viewer count data of browsing the advertising content, and the advertising device transmits the viewer count data of browsing the advertising content to the middle server and then to the server, and updates the advertising performance information of the advertising device at each advertising site and stores the updated advertising performance information into the database, after the advertising performance is analyzed by the analysis module.

2. The multimedia data transmission and feedback system for integrating performance evaluations of claim 1, wherein the advertising performance information includes a hot time zone and a corresponding advertising fee calculation method after the statistics of each advertising device are calculated.

3. The multimedia data transmission and feedback system for integrating performance evaluations of claim 1, wherein the view counter is an infrared thermal sensing unit for counting the number of the person who stay at the advertising viewer for over a predetermined time.

4. The multimedia data transmission and feedback system for integrating performance evaluations of claim 3, wherein the predetermined time is 5 to 7 seconds.

5. The multimedia data transmission and feedback system for integrating performance evaluations of claim 1, wherein the view counter is a facial recognition unit for counting the number of the person if the recognized human face matches a predetermined sampling standard.

6. The multimedia data transmission and feedback system for integrating performance evaluations of claim 5, wherein the facial recognition unit includes an recognition software and a lens set used together with the recognition software.

7. The multimedia data transmission and feedback system for integrating performance evaluations of claim 1, wherein the view counter is a press detection unit having a trigger unit installed on the advertising device for counting the number of the person when the trigger unit is pressed.

8. The multimedia data transmission and feedback system for integrating performance evaluations of claim 7, wherein the trigger unit is pressed to turn on a data transmission interface on the advertising device for a signal connection with at least one mobile device carried by the advertising viewer for a download of a specific advertising content information.

9. The multimedia data transmission and feedback system for integrating performance evaluations of claim 8, wherein the specific advertising content information is an electronic coupon or a QR-Code pattern.

10. The multimedia data transmission and feedback system for integrating performance evaluations of claim 1, wherein advertising owner stores the desired advertising into at least one external database other than the database of the server, and inputs the URL of the corresponding external database to the server.

11. The multimedia data transmission and feedback system for integrating performance evaluations of claim 1, wherein the advertising site is an office building, a community building, a railway station, a subway station, a road intersection, a hospital, a cinema, an elevator, a bus station or any type of public transportation.

12. The multimedia data transmission and feedback system for integrating performance evaluations of claim 1, wherein the advertising device is installed in an elevator, and a sensor for detecting an open or shut status of an elevator door or a gravity sensor for detecting an up-and-down movement of the elevation is installed on the advertising device, such that when the elevator door is opened or the elevation moves up or down, the advertising device will play the advertising content.

13. The multimedia data transmission and feedback system for integrating performance evaluations of claim 1, wherein after the viewer count data returned from the advertising device to the server goes through a performance analysis by the analysis module, the performance analysis information is transmitted to advertising owner owning the advertising content.

14. The multimedia data transmission and feedback system for integrating performance evaluations of claim 13, wherein the performance analysis information is transmitted by a method selected from the collection of email, mobile phone short message, instant messaging and logging on a website at the server for a display.

15. The multimedia data transmission and feedback system for integrating performance evaluations of claim 1, wherein the advertising device further comprises a display unit, an information processing unit, an information buffer unit and a network interface unit.

16. The multimedia data transmission and feedback system for integrating performance evaluations of claim 1, wherein the operating interface is a pull-down menu mode or an map display mode.

17. The multimedia data transmission and feedback system for integrating performance evaluations of claim 1, wherein the advertising playing time and the URL information selected by the advertising device with the ID code is packeted into a first script file, and the first script file is transmitted to the middle server first and then to the advertising device.

18. The multimedia data transmission and feedback system for integrating performance evaluations of claim 1, wherein the viewer count data of browsing the advertising content is packeted into a second script file, and the second script file is transmitted to the middle server first and then to the server.
