Title: A system for providing automatic input and interaction between a broadcast automation system and a system for generating audience interaction with radio programming
Inventor: ANSTANDIG DANIEL
IPC: G06F3/00
Filed: 2012-05-23
Abstract: A system of capturing real-time audience interaction via a web-based user interface and automatically adjusting a radio station's programming through a unique direct interface with the radio station's studio operating system and/or music scheduling system. Audience participation is collected and processed using an algorithm to determine how a radio station's programming should be manipulated to fit the preferences of the audience. Audiences are also empowered to invite friends to vote and share their votes via Social media, such as Facebook and Twitter or sign up for alerts via e-mail, SMS, Twitter, and other means to be notified when their chosen songs are about to play. Also, a software system is provided which links a broadcast station operating system or playback system via the internet to an external data source, such as a separate audience participation system for providing audience interaction with broadcast programming, to allow the automation system of the broadcast system operating system to play externally chosen, such as by audience participation, selections according to rules which consider information received back from the broadcast station automatically and in real time.

Abstract: La présente invention porte sur des systèmes et sur des procédés qui permettent d'équilibrer une marge commerciale par rapport à une valeur de client cible afin de satisfaire une requête d'achat d'une pluralité d'articles. Un prix de vente initial pour une requête d'achat des articles est calculé, le prix de vente initial étant fondé sur une somme de prix de détail pour les articles, ayant fait l'objet d'une remise équivalant à une valeur de client cible prédéterminée. Une marge commerciale initiale pour la requête est déterminée, la marge commerciale initiale étant fondée sur la somme des prix de détail pour les articles moins une somme de prix nets prédéterminés pour les articles. Le prix de vente initial est ajusté pour créer un prix de vente intermédiaire, en réponse au fait que la marge commerciale initiale se trouve en dehors d'une plage définie par un seuil de marge commerciale inférieur et un seuil de marge commerciale supérieur, le prix de vente intermédiaire étant comparé au prix de vente initial pour créer un prix de vente final.
