Abstract

A system for targeting an alert of a real-time news exposition to a geographically potentially interested group of viewer web terminals. The system includes a computer server to accept the real-time news exposition submitted by from a submitter web terminal, and further to track and meter the real-time news exposition chosen for display on viewer web terminals, and further to calculate compensation based upon at least one viewer exposure measure of the real-time news exposition, and further to communicate said compensation in real-time to the submitter web terminal. The system further comprises logic configured to receive an indication of a location of the submitter web terminal, compare the location of the submitter web terminal with viewer web terminals to determine the geographically potentially interested group of viewer web terminals, and transmit the real-time news exposition to the geographically potentially interested group of viewer web terminals.

Claims

1. A system for targeting an alert of a real-time news exposition to a geographically potentially interested group of viewer web terminals, comprising:

a computer server to accept the real-time news exposition submitted by from a submitter web terminal, and further to track and meter the real-time news exposition chosen for display on viewer web terminals, and further to calculate compensation based upon at least one viewer exposure measure of the real-time news exposition, and further to communicate said compensation in real-time to the submitter web terminal; and

logic configured to;

receive an indication of a location of the submitter web terminal;

compare the location of the submitter web terminal with viewer web terminals to determine the geographically potentially interested group of viewer web terminals; and

transmit the real-time news exposition to the geographically potentially interested group of viewer web terminals.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the logic is further configured to:

assign a priority to the real-time news exposition; and

compare the priority level assigned to the real-time news exposition with priority preferences of the geographically potentially interested group of viewer terminals to determine a subset of geographically potentially interested viewer web terminals,

wherein the transmitting of the real-time news exposition to the geographically potentially interested group of viewer terminals comprises transmitting the real-time news exposition to the subset of geographically potentially interested viewer web terminals.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the transmitting of the real-time news exposition to the subset of geographically potentially interested viewer web terminals comprises:

sending an alert to the subset of geographically potentially interested viewer web terminals;

receiving a view request from at least one viewer web terminal of the subset of geographically potentially interested viewer web terminals; and

sending the real-time news exposition to the at least one viewer web terminal.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the sending of the alert to the subset of geographically potentially interested viewer web terminals comprises sending at least one of a text message, an email message, an instant message, and a social media communication.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the receiving of an indication of the location of the submitter web terminal includes receiving either global positing system coordinates or cell phone tower triangulation information.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the comparing of the location of the submitter web terminal with viewer web terminals includes comparing either viewer web terminal global positing system coordinates or viewer web terminal cell phone tower triangulation information with the location of the submitter web terminal.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the comparing of the location of the submitter web terminal with viewer web terminals includes comparing viewer web terminal preferred locations with the location of the submitter web terminal.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the submitter web terminal comprises a cell phone.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein at least one viewer web terminal comprises a cell phone.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the logic is further configured to transmit the real-time news exposition to contacts of the geographically potentially interested group of viewer web terminals.
