METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR USING CONSUMER ALIASES AND IDENTIFIERS
First Claim
1. A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium that, when executing on one or more computers, performs the steps of:
- acquiring a first alias, wherein the first alias is comprised of a first plurality of attributes, wherein each of the first plurality of attributes is comprised of at least one of a first device identifier datum, a first behavioral datum, and a first demographic datum;
acquiring a second alias, wherein the second alias is comprised of a second plurality of attributes, wherein each of the second plurality of attributes is comprised of at least one of a second device identifier datum, a second behavioral datum, and a second demographic datum;
dynamically and transiently linking the first alias and the second alias to form a Master ID, wherein the dynamic linking of the first and second aliases is based at least in part on analysis of the first and the second pluralities of attributes using a binding expression that expresses a statistical confidence threshold required for grouping aliases; and
targeting advertising to a consumer device based at least in part on the Master ID.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for creating a digital consumer profile that may be dynamically and transiently generated, drawing upon attribute data that is available at time of the digital consumer profile creation. The digital consumer profile may further provide for dynamic and transient generations of a plurality of user profiles to fit definitions and use cases not anticipated at the outset of targeting or attribution efforts and attribute data collection. Regulatory conditions, privacy policies, enterprise rules and the like may determine, at least in part, the collection, analysis, and auditing of attribute data, and the merging of such data to form aliases that may be associated with consumers. The digital consumer service may comprise binding expression syntax to dynamically, and transiently, identify profiles to give flexibility and extensibility beyond having a flat match table.

14. A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium that, when executing on one or more computers, performs the steps of:
-
acquiring a first alias, wherein the first alias is comprised of a first plurality of attributes, wherein each of the first plurality of attributes is comprised of at least one of a first device identifier datum, a first consumer datum, a first behavioral datum, and a first demographic datum; acquiring a second alias, wherein the second alias is comprised of a second plurality of attributes, wherein each of the second plurality of attributes is comprised of at least one of a second device identifier datum, a second consumer datum, a second behavioral datum, and a second demographic datum; dynamically and transiently linking the first alias and the second alias to form a Master ID, wherein the dynamic linking of the first and second aliases is based at least in part on analysis of the first and the second pluralities of attributes using a binding expression that expresses a statistical confidence threshold required for grouping aliases, wherein the alias acquiring and dynamically linking steps are performed iteratively over a plurality of aliases so that a plurality of attributes are merged into a single Master ID; targeting an advertising campaign to a consumer device based at least in part on the Master ID; and analyzing results of the advertising campaign targeted to the Master ID. - View Dependent Claims (15)

19. A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium that, when executing on one or more computers, performs the steps of:
-
acquiring a first alias, wherein the first alias is comprised of a first plurality of attributes, wherein each of the first plurality of attributes is comprised of at least one of a first device identifier datum, a first consumer datum, a first behavioral datum, and a first demographic datum; acquiring a second alias, wherein the second alias is comprised of a second plurality of attributes, wherein each of the second plurality of attributes is comprised of at least one of a second device identifier datum, a second consumer datum, a second behavioral datum, and a second demographic datum; dynamically and transiently linking the first alias and the second alias to form a first Master ID, wherein the dynamic linking of the first and second aliases is based at least in part on analysis of the first and the second pluralities of attributes using a first binding expression that expresses a statistical confidence threshold required for grouping aliases; acquiring a third alias, wherein the third alias is comprised of a third plurality of attributes, wherein each of the third plurality of attributes is comprised of at least one of a third device identifier datum, a third consumer datum, a third behavioral datum, and a third demographic datum; acquiring a fourth alias, wherein the fourth alias is comprised of a fourth plurality of attributes, wherein each of the fourth plurality of attributes is comprised of at least one of a fourth device identifier datum, a fourth consumer datum, a fourth behavioral datum, and a fourth demographic datum; dynamically and transiently linking the third alias and the fourth alias to form a second Master ID, wherein the dynamic linking of the third and fourth aliases is based at least in part on analysis of the first and the second pluralities of attributes using a second binding expression that expresses a statistical confidence threshold required for grouping aliases; merging the first Master ID and the second Master ID to form a circle set, the merging based on a recognition that the Master IDs are related to each other by one of a type of self, household, and friend; and targeting an advertising campaign to multiple consumer devices based at least in part on the circle set. - View Dependent Claims (20)
