1. A system, comprising:
- one or more processors; and
one or more memory devices storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to;
receive data for a personal video recording (PVR) service of an individually identifiable consumer;
identify a commercial recorded by the PVR service that is rewound and re-watched at least once by the individually identifiable consumer;
monitor, using radio frequency identification (RFID) sensors, movement of an RFID card, associated with the individually identifiable consumer, to detect in-store consumer activity of the individually identifiable consumer in a physical retail location during a first time;
compile a consumer data structure comprising in-store consumer activity information and out-of-store consumer activity information for the individually identifiable consumer,the in-store consumer activity information indicating the in-store consumer activity, andthe out-of-store consumer activity information indicating the commercial that is rewound and re-watched at least once;
detect, in real time, an event at a second time after the first time, where the one or more processors, when detecting the event, are to at least one of;
detect the RFID card, associated with the individually identifiable consumer, entering the physical retail location at the second time, ordetect the individually identifiable consumer interacting with a web portal, associated with the physical retail location, at the second time; and
deliver, in real time and after the event at the second time is detected, an instant electronic targeted advertisement for the individually identifiable consumer based on detecting the event at the second time and the consumer data structure,the instant electronic targeted advertisement including an advertisement for a product associated with the commercial based on the commercial being identified as being rewound and re-watched at least once by the individually identifiable consumer.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are converged marketing architectures that may be utilized by retailers in conjunction with and/or independent of consumer loyalty programs in order to improve targeted marketing efforts. Such architectures enable participating retailers to constantly generate and compile consumer activity and preferences information from a plurality of in-store and out of store activities, including e-commerce web site activity, television viewing and recording activity, and retail location activity. In certain embodiments, retail location activity may be monitored by one or more of RFID tracking sub-systems, smart shopping cart sub-systems, and point-of-sale information sub-systems.

1. A system, comprising:
-
one or more processors; and one or more memory devices storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to; receive data for a personal video recording (PVR) service of an individually identifiable consumer; identify a commercial recorded by the PVR service that is rewound and re-watched at least once by the individually identifiable consumer; monitor, using radio frequency identification (RFID) sensors, movement of an RFID card, associated with the individually identifiable consumer, to detect in-store consumer activity of the individually identifiable consumer in a physical retail location during a first time; compile a consumer data structure comprising in-store consumer activity information and out-of-store consumer activity information for the individually identifiable consumer, the in-store consumer activity information indicating the in-store consumer activity, and the out-of-store consumer activity information indicating the commercial that is rewound and re-watched at least once; detect, in real time, an event at a second time after the first time, where the one or more processors, when detecting the event, are to at least one of; detect the RFID card, associated with the individually identifiable consumer, entering the physical retail location at the second time, or detect the individually identifiable consumer interacting with a web portal, associated with the physical retail location, at the second time; and deliver, in real time and after the event at the second time is detected, an instant electronic targeted advertisement for the individually identifiable consumer based on detecting the event at the second time and the consumer data structure, the instant electronic targeted advertisement including an advertisement for a product associated with the commercial based on the commercial being identified as being rewound and re-watched at least once by the individually identifiable consumer. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 29)

25. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by at least one device, data for a personal video recording (PVR) service of an individually identifiable consumer; identifying, by the least one device, a commercial recorded by the PVR service that rewound and re-watched at least once by the individually identifiable consumer; monitoring, by the at least one device and using radio frequency identification (RFID) sensors, movement of an RFID card, associated with the individually identifiable consumer to detect in-store consumer activity of the individually identifiable consumer in a physical retail location during a first time; compiling, by the at least one device, a consumer data structure comprising in-store consumer activity information and out-of-store consumer activity information for the individually identifiable consumer, the in-store consumer activity information indicating the in-store consumer activity, and the out-of-store consumer activity information indicating the commercial that is rewound and re-watched at least once; detecting, by the at least one device and in real time, the individually identifiable consumer entering the physical retail location by detecting the RFID card entering the physical retail location at a second time after the first time; and delivering, by the at least one device and in real time, an instant electronic targeted advertisement for the individually identifiable consumer based on detecting the individually identifiable consumer entering the physical retail location at the second time and based on the consumer data structure, the instant electronic targeted advertisement including an advertisement for a product associated with the commercial based on the commercial being identified as being rewound and re-watched at least once by the individually identifiable consumer. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28)

30. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by at least one device, data for a personal video recording (PVR) service of an individually identifiable consumer; identifying, by the least one device and based on monitoring the data, a commercial recorded by the PVR service that rewound and re-watched at least once by the individually identifiable consumer; monitoring, by the at least one device and using radio frequency identification (RFID) sensors, movement of an RFID card, associated with the individually identifiable consumer, to detect in-store consumer activity of the individually identifiable consumer in a physical retail location using radio frequency identification (RFID) sensors, at least one of the RFID sensors being associated with an in-store product display within the physical retail location; compiling, by the at least one device, a consumer data structure comprising in-store consumer activity information and out-of-store consumer activity information for the individually identifiable consumer, the in-store consumer activity information indicating the in-store consumer activity, and the out-of-store consumer activity information indicating the commercial that is rewound and re-watched at least once; detecting, by the at least one device and in real time, the individually identifiable consumer interacting with a web portal associated with the physical retail location; and transmitting, by the at least one device and in real time, an instant electronic targeted advertisement for the individually identifiable consumer based on detecting the individually identifiable consumer interacting with the web portal and based on the consumer data structure, the instant electronic targeted advertisement including an advertisement for a product associated with the commercial based on the commercial being identified as being rewound and re-watched at least once by the individually identifiable consumer. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33)
