Abstract

In certain embodiments, a device for outputting updated messages a determinate number of times is provided. The device may comprise an output, an input, one or more processors, a memory, code stored in the memory and executed by the processor, wherein at least one message is received from time to time by the device through the input, and wherein the code selects if and when the at least one message is to be provided on the device via the output a determinate number of times. The operation of the enabled device can allow the message to be delivered to the user as the result of some action in regards to enabled device usage.

Claims

1. A method for assembling a media element on a computing device, the method comprising:

detecting a distinct broadcast segment and a first message addendum discrete from the distinct broadcast segment;

storing in memory of the computing device at least the first message addendum and at least one additional message addendum subsequently received by a communication module;

detecting a transition in an operational state of the computing device, the transition comprising a period of time between a first state and a second state of the computing device, whereby at least one of the first state and the second state provides access to the distinct broadcast segment by the computing device;

analyzing, by one or more processors, at least one message addendum in association with the distinct broadcast segment, whereby the analysis determines a correlative relation of the at least one message addendum to the distinct broadcast segment;

presenting, by the computing device, during the transition in the operational state, the transition in the operational state is the period of time between the first state and the second state of the computing device, at least one media element comprising one or more message addendums, the at least one media element presented determined by the correlative relation of the first message addendum to the distinct broadcast segment; and

communicating, by a transmitter of the computing device, at least a media element data packet comprising the correlative relation to at least one server computer for analysis.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the transition in the operational state of the computing device comprises a change between at least one of the following:

a low power state to a higher power state, an off power state and an on power state.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the transition in the operational state of the computing device includes at least one of the following:

passage of a predetermined period of time, an input from a user, a memory storage operation by the computing device, an initiation of a broadcast reception, detecting a second distinct broadcast segment.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the transition in the operational state of the computing device includes at least one of the following:

receiving a communication by the computing device, sending a communication by the computing device.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the media element data packet includes at least one of the following:

data identifying the at least one media element, identification of the presentation iteration corollary to the at least one media element, data identifying the first message addendum, data identifying the source of the first message addendum, data identifying the second message addendum, data identifying the source of the one additional message addendum, data corollary to the distribution of at least one media element, data corollary to presentation of at least one media element, identification of the transition in the operational state of the computing device generated in association with the distinct broadcast segment.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the transition in the operational state of the computing device activates communication of data that enables identification of the distinct broadcast segment from the computing device to at least one server computer.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the communicated data includes at least one of the following:

a geographic location of the computing device, a user'"'"'s relationship to a particular demographic group, a criterion determined priority, time of day, usage of the computing device, previous session behavior of a user of the computing device, identification of the source of the distinct broadcast segment, identification of a user of the of the computing device, identification of the computing device.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein a first media element comprising at a minimum one message addendum is presented through activation of a first transition in an operational state of the computing device and an updated media element comprising at a minimum one message addendum is presented through activation of a second transition in an operational state of the computing device.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving data that enables identification of the distinct broadcast segment in conjunction with the detection of the distinct broadcast segment;

presenting the distinct broadcast segment;

detecting a response to the distinct broadcast segment;

generating a response data packet comprising at least the data that enables the identification of the distinct broadcast segment; and

communicating the response data packet to the at least one server computer.

10. A system for assembling a media element, the system comprising:

a broadcast interface that receives a distinct broadcast segment;

memory that stores at least a first message addendum;

a receiver that receives a second message addendum subsequent to storing of the first message addendum;

a correlation manager configured to;

detect a transition in an operational state of the computing device, the transition comprising a period of time between a first state and a second state of the computing device, whereby at least one of the states provides access to the distinct broadcast segment by the computing device; and

analyze at least one message addendum in association with the distinct broadcast segment, whereby the analysis determines a correlative relation of the at least one first message addendum to the distinct broadcast segment;

an output interface that presents, during the transition in the operational state, the transition in the operational state is the period of time between the first state and the second state of the computing device, at least one media element comprising one or more message addendums, the at least one media element presented determined by the correlative relation of the first message addendum to the distinct broadcast segment; and

a transmitter that sends at least a media element data packet comprising the correlative relation to at least one server computer for analysis.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the transition in the operational state of the computing device comprises at least one of the following:
