Patent ID: 11188949

Abstract:
A method for identifying segments of a population of user devices communicating on a communications network. The segments correspond to user devices of the population exhibiting comparable behavioral patterns detectable by the communications network. A plurality of marketing systems are accessible on the communications network, and each of the plurality of marketing systems include respective use data corresponding to respective ones of the population for the marketing system. The method includes retrieving by a processor the respective use data for the population, from the plurality of marketing systems, determining by the processor if the respective use data exceeds a threshold for particular behavioral pattern of interest, for the respective use data, determining by the processor a unique identifier for each user device of the use data, grouping by the processor in a database, the respective use data in relation to the unique identifier, for each user device of the use data that exceeds the threshold, and mapping by the processor in the database, the behavioral pattern of the respective use data for each user device of the use data that exceeds the threshold. Behavioral patterns are determined for the respective segment, and related to the user devices of the segment. Content for delivery to the segment is sequenced, and placeholder in the sequence is stored in relation to each user device of the segment, to ensure that each next sequential content is delivered to the respective user device.
