SYSTEM FOR AND METHOD OF ANALYSING THE CONSUMPTION OF TRANSMITTED AUDIO VISUAL CONTENT
First Claim
1. A computing hardware system for analyzing the consumption of AV content by consumers, the system comprising:
- a calculation component configured to determine a new tag value for a consumer qualification tag associated with a consumer based on a weighted combination of a current tag value of the consumer qualification tag and a tag value of an asset qualification tag associated with an AV asset, the AV asset having been requested by the consumer; and
a consumer qualification tag update component configured to set the tag value for the consumer qualification tag to the new tag value.

Abstract
Systems and methods for analyzing the consumption of transmitted audio visual content are disclosed. The methods may comprise analyzing content viewed by consumers and updating the profiles of that content and/or the consumers accordingly, such as a method for analyzing the consumption of AV content by consumers comprising: assigning to each AV asset a tag comprising a unique asset ID and a multiple-entry asset qualification tag; assigning to each consumer a multiple-entry consumer qualification tag; and assigning to a consumer a new consumer qualification tag that is derived from a weighted combination of an existing consumer qualification tag associated with the consumer and an asset qualification tag of a selected AV asset, the consumer having requested the selected AV asset. The systems may comprise appropriately configured computing hardware, software, and connectivity for performing such methods, such as a calculation component configured to determine a new tag value for a consumer qualification tag associated with a consumer based on a weighted combination of a current tag value of the consumer qualification tag and a tag value of an asset qualification tag associated with an AV asset, the AV asset having been requested by the consumer; and a consumer qualification tag update component configured to set the tag value for the consumer qualification tag to the new tag value.

8. A method for analyzing the consumption of AV content by consumers, in which the AV content comprises a multiplicity of AV assets, the method comprising:
-
assigning to each AV asset a tag comprising a unique asset ID and a multiple-entry asset qualification tag; assigning to each consumer a multiple-entry consumer qualification tag; and assigning to a consumer a new consumer qualification tag that is derived from a weighted combination of an existing consumer qualification tag associated with the consumer and an asset qualification tag of a selected AV asset, the consumer having requested the selected AV asset, wherein the method is performed using one or more computerized systems that comprise computer hardware and software modules configured to perform the method. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

-
25. A method of identifying which of a plurality of AV assets is likely to be favored by a consumer, the method comprising:
-
analyzing the AV consumption of a consumer by associating with each AV asset a tag that includes a unique asset ID and a multiple-entry asset qualification tag; associating with a consumer a multiple-entry consumer qualification tag; upon the consumer making a request for a particular AV asset, assigning to the consumer a new consumer qualification tag that is derived from a weighted combination of the existing consumer qualification tag and the asset qualification tag of the requested AV asset; comparing the consumer qualification tag of the consumer with the asset qualification tag of each AV asset; and identifying those assets that have qualification tags similar to the consumer qualification tag of the consumer.

-
26. A method of suggesting AV content to a consumer, the method comprising:
-
analyzing the AV consumption of a consumer by assigning to each of one or more AV assets a tag that includes a unique asset ID and a multiple-entry asset qualification tag; assigning to a consumer a multiple-entry consumer qualification tag; upon the consumer making a request for a AV asset assigning to the consumer a new consumer qualification tag that is derived from a weighted combination of the existing consumer qualification tag and the asset qualification tag of the requested AV asset; comparing the consumer qualification tag of the consumer with the asset qualification tag of each AV asset; identifying one or more AV assets that have qualification tags similar to the new consumer qualification tag; and presenting a list of the identified AV assets to the consumer whereby the consumer can select AV content from the list. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29)
-
- 30. A system for analyzing the consumption of AV content by consumers, wherein the AV content comprises one or more AV assets, the system comprising a content provider that is constructed and arranged to assign to each AV asset a tag that includes a unique asset ID and a multiple-entry asset qualification tag, and to assign to each consumer a multiple-entry consumer qualification tag, and an analysis system that is constructed and arranged to detect a request by a consumer for a particular AV asset, to derive a new consumer qualification tag from a weighted combination of the existing consumer qualification tag and the asset qualification tag of the selected AV asset, and to assign the new consumer qualification tag to the consumer.
