The present invention, in some embodiments thereof, relates to promotional content distribution and, more specifically, but not exclusively, to systems, methods and a computer program product for dynamic promotional layout and image processing functions management and/or distribution.
The design and development of mobile device applications for use by end users partaking in social media network conversations has experienced a significant growth in the past decade. This was stimulated in part by an increase in client-terminal computing power and by end-user accessibility to large-scale non-volatile storage, which facilitated the near real-time efficient long term storage of socially related digital images.
These contemporary advances may facilitate the technological underpinning for taming user-driven experiences. For instance, template-based face detection and feature extraction techniques may be readily realized on a client-terminal such as an entry level Smartphone.
A client terminal owned by an end user may be utilized for capturing digital images of people or experiences at social, cultural, sporting or other events. Client terminals with integrated cameras or image sensors are widely used by children and adults. This is in view of the fact that inexpensive image sensors and image processing software became readily available to mobile device manufactures.
Images and videos captured by integrated cameras may be stored locally in the mobile device and/or persisted via an application program interface (API) to remote repositories and/or transmitted via a network to a remote server for further processing.
Socially related video data created and posted to websites by end users such as internet users and bloggers alone, per diem, surpasses the terabyte range and is projected to grow exponentially. To illustrate, according to a study conducted by Martin, (The Third Screen: Marketing to Your Customers in a World Gone Mobile, ISBN 10: 1857885643) in more than seventy five countries, the number of mobile devices already surpasses the country's population.
For that reason, resellers and merchandisers interested in expanding their market share and increasing their exposure to potential end users quickly recognized the prospective marketing potential of social media networks and strategic brand management.
For instance, one such brand management strategy is generating analytics based on measurements and statistics of geo localized client terminal usage in a social media network, in order to target a particular end user group. Strategies for profiting from embedding coupons, into images quickly emerged: such promotional content came in a variety of assorted forms including banners and sponsored links.
As used herein, the term near real time refers to a time interval of few seconds or less. For instance, the time interval that passes in response to a first triggering event and to the activation time of a subsequent second event.

The present invention, in some embodiments thereof, relates to promotional content distribution and, more specifically, but not exclusively, to systems, methods and a computer program product for dynamic promotional layout and image processing functions management and/or distribution.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the systems, computer program products and methods enable dynamic loading, for instance, at a client terminal, one or more digital image branding functions. An image branding function is a function that when applied to a digital image processes the image by applying a transformation according to the function. For instance, applying a function that adds an icon or that alters the digital image layout and/or the like. An image branding function may be associated with one or more distribution rules. A distribution rule is a rule used in determining how to target a group of end-users, for instance, a rule that determines that only a group of end users having certain characteristics and/or match a certain requirement, for example currently watching a specific content via their client terminal, for example a soccer game, are associated with the image branding function. It should be noted that the one or more distribution rules may be altered in real-time, by an administrator such as a brand manager, based on the state of various relevant conditions such as the location of end users as described in detail hereinbelow.
One or more indications of the digital image branding function(s) may be displayed by a client terminal, in a graphical palette, allowing the user to select a digital image branding function for processing a selected or captured image in real time.
Digital image branding functions may be distributed according to one or more distribution rules, end users having specific demographic characteristics, located in a certain area, optionally at a certain time, using a certain application that is installed in their client terminal and/or the like.
Processing a digital image designated by the member at the client terminal according to the selected digital image branding function results in a branded digital image. The branded digital image may be processed by an image processing filter, such as a Gaussian smoothing function. The end user who created the branded digital image using the digital image branding function is optionally presented with the option to share the branded digital image with his friends in a social media network and/or to post the branded digital image in a digital billboard.
Optionally, an image branding function is matched to a group of end users from a database according to relation to an event, a socially connected group of end users and/or the like. In such embodiments, instructions to present an indication of the image branding function are sent to client terminal of one or more members of the group.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, there is provided a system that allows a brand manager to create, retrieve, aggregate, organize, analyze and/or distribute one or more image branding functions, for example as part of a campaign. The system allows end users to interact with a brand and to be involved actively in a creation of an image that includes the brand.
Brand managers may leverage end user generated content for the purpose of brand and/or product promotion.
As used herein, the term user generated content refers to any type of data that is typically created on a client terminal. For instance, graphical data, including but not limited to digital images, photos, graphics, drawings, paintings, pictures, videos, images extracted from videos, information related to the photos and/or the videos and/or a combination thereof. For instance, audio and speech, including but not limited to, voice(s), singing, background sounds, and/or playing musical instruments.
The system may allow a brand manager to grant monetary and/or non-monetary reward to certain end users, for instance based on the distribution of the branded digital images he created, for example by counting the number of times other end users responded to and/or viewed post(s) with the branded digital images.
The system may allow a brand manager to enable end users to purchase paid personalized gifts, based on data metrics collected on the end user's client terminal and subsequently allow the end user to commercially engage with a physical fulfillment service.

NFC technology is generally used for short range communications between a plurality of end users and is grounded on radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies. The short range nature of this type wireless communications allows exchanging information between client terminals only over short distances, such as the distance depicted in
The client terminal located at 1204 of a first end user establishes NFC with a second client terminal located at 1206 thereby allowing the first end user to transmit for instance, a resident application such as an image branding application 1208 to the second end user.

An end user 900, by applying an image processing function selected, for instance from GUI component such as a graphical palette, may adjust a digital image after it was captured and branded, for instance, to improve the digital image sharpness, lighting, contrast and/or improve focus of one or more subjects. As known in the art, a digital image 1210 may be sharpened by applying an image processing function S(x,y) 1214.
The image processing function S(x,y) 1214 may transform the digital image spatial representation into an adapted frequency domain representation. The adapted frequency domain representation may be subsequently re transformed into the spatial domain while providing a sharpened version 1212 of the original digital image.
It should be noted that the image sharpening effect or any other effect represented by the image processing function S(x,y) 1214, may be applied to the entire image or selectively applied to specific segments within the digital image 1210.
Under some embodiments of the present invention, the image processing function S(x,y) 1214 is one or more of de blurring, color correction, auto focus, fill flash, cropping, de motion blurring, black and white, sepia, antique, overlay, pinch, zoom, Gaussian smoothing, rotation and/or the like.
Optionally, the image processing function S(x,y) 1214 is a cascade of two or more image processing functions, as shown a de-blur function (sharpening) and a de-motion trail function, the later being useful in cases the end user was in motion while capturing the digital picture.
Optionally, the system 100 allows adjusting values of one or more parameters of the image processing function S(x,y) 1214 automatically, semi automatically or manually performed by the end user 900. For instance, if the image processing function S(x,y) 1214 is a Gaussian smoothing function then the end user alters the Kernel of 2 D Gaussian which affects the results of digital image smoothing.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the tables, their attributes and the relationships between the tables are as follows:
Table 610 describes and stores information about end users and comprising of the following attributes: a USER_ID used as a unique primary key to differentiate between table rows, a NAME used as the name of the end user, a DEVICE TYPE indicating the type of the client terminal the end user is using, a DATE indicating when the user started participating in a campaign and a LOCATION indicating the geo localized location of the end user.
Table 612 describes and stores branded digital images and comprising of the following attributes: an ID used as a unique primary key to differentiate between table rows, a BINDATA used as a binary container for the actual branded image, a TYPE indicating the type of the branded image, a DATE indicating when was the entry created and a SIZE indicating the size, in mega-bytes, of the branded image.
Table 614 describes and stores branding functions and comprising of the following attributes: an ID used as a unique primary key to differentiate between table rows, a FUNCTION which is the actual branding function definition, a TYPE indicating the type of the branding function, a DATE indicating when was the branding function created and USER_ID indicating to which users was the branding function distributed to.
Tables 616-624 are designed and constructed in a similar fashion with similar attributes. It should be noted that not all relationships between the tables are depicted and that under some embodiments of the present invention other relationship permutations are possible.
Reference is now made to
The concept of skin branding is as follows. The brand manager 910, using the campaign management web interface 912, may brand a skeleton resident application skin 912A. Subsequently, the end user 900 may install the resident application using the awareness process illustrated in
First, the brand manager 910 using the campaign management web interface 912, has access to at least one skeleton resident application skin 912A.
Next, the brand manager 910 selects a resident application skin 912B which is overplayed on the skeleton resident application skin 912A resulting in a branded resident application skin 912C.
As shown the resident application skin 912B is an exemplary inflatable balloon skin associated with a merchandiser 920 of balloons.
Reference is now made to the following examples, which together with the above descriptions illustrate some embodiments of the invention in a non-limiting fashion.
The present example describes an exemplary use-case outlining a photo-marketing campaign. The example is described with reference to
The example illustrates multiple physical locations and on-line elements in a campaign spanning a period of over two weeks.
1. Campaign Background:
SM Marketing (SMM) is a successful marketing agency specializing in interactive, digital brand promotion. SMM has a number of food and beverage companies on its books including Dream Drinks (DD) that recently launched goods 618 such as EZ Vodka—a new lighter Vodka.
DD asked SSM for suggestions on how to generate traffic and attract end users 900 so that they visit the new EZ Vodka web page on social media network 800 such as Facebook. In addition, DD wanted to promote their brand across a number of specific geographic regions which previous market research has identified as offering high potential market penetration for EZ Vodka. The geographic regions may be regions such as the one depicted by numerals 1200 and 1202 of
SSM proposed a campaign 700 with an interactive end-user competition combined with free samples of EZ Vodka to be offered at selected nightclubs. The distribution rules 624 were stored in the campaign management database 600 by allowing a brand manager 910 to configure and store the actual distribution rules 636. For instance, a distribution rules reading “users who love vodka”. The later distribution rule may be narrowed down by intersecting the rule with a rule reading “all residents of Spain” hence targeting only vodka lovers in Spain.
DD defined the following success criteria for the campaign: 25,000 “likes” on the new EZ Vodka Facebook page, 30,000 branded digital images 802F posted to various social media networks 800, 10,000 people submitting digital images to the competition 708 and 50,000 people voting for the winner. The success criteria may be attested using the monitoring system 13 which monitors events such as end users clicking a “like” button, calculates the number of branded images submitted, and aggregates voting results pertaining to the competition.
DD provided 400 free EZ Vodka shots (samples) at 10 preselected nightclubs in each of the three US states, the UK and Spain. A total of 80,000 free shots (representing about 3000 bottles of vodka) were provided on Friday and Saturday nights on two consecutive weekends.
The campaign 700 ran from the first Friday night over a period spanning 14 days while being monitored by the monitoring system 122. With an average attendance of 300 people at each venue, the campaign's total potential physical reach was 60,000 people. With a target of 30,000 branded images 612 posted to various social media networks, expected brand exposure was in excess of 1.5 million. An engagement rate of 3.4% or higher was required to generate the 50,000 target for competition participants.
The campaign included a competition 708—the winner of which receives a prize 708A in the form of monetary goods 706: two tickets, travel and hotel accommodation to Oslo's largest food and drink fair, taking place three months' time after the competition. DD provided both the free samples and the prize 708A; SSM was responsible conceptualizing and managing the campaign 710 including providing on-site attendants and signage at each nightclub. There was no further budget for any print or additional on-line promotion.
Except for providing the samples at a cost of $25,000, DD paid SSM a management fee of $80,000 and a further $8,000 to cover the cost of the prize 708A. The resulting total cost for the four active days at 50 different locations spread over three countries was $113,000—an all-inclusive average cost of $2,500 per venue per day.
2. Campaign Configuration
SSM, working on behalf of EZ Vodka, logged into system 100 using the campaign management website (refer for instance to numeral 912 of
Step 1: Image and application branding. Exact locations of each nightclub were defined, as were the EZ Vodka image skins 802B and the EZ Vodka application branding 802E. The graphic artist preparing the image skins and application branding worked for 11 and completed the work within a week of DD approving the campaign (exact technical specifications were available on-line at the campaign management website). With the image skins and application branding material already prepared, the image configuration was completed within just a few minutes.
Step 2: Competition settings. The following required configuration for the competition:
Step 3: Social media settings
3. Campaign Management 710. During the campaign both SSM and EZ Vodka managers 910 were able to access campaign data and make modifications to the campaign as required. One particular skin 802B proved to be extremely popular and so was promoted more aggressively. Had additional skins be needed or locations can be changed all this could have been done in real-time on-line. Images uploaded to the gallery were monitored, for instance by monitoring system 122 and if necessary, inappropriate or offensive images were removed.
4. Participant Experience. To receive a free sample of EZ Vodka, nightclub patrons had to download 802A, 802b the EZ Vodka branded resident application 310 for either the iPhone or Android platforms by scanning a Quick Response (QR) 802A code displayed prominently beside the free sample kiosk. Posters with instructions and details of the competition were displayed at the entrance to the nightclub, besides being displayed at the free sample kiosk and the entrance to the rest rooms.
Certain nightclubs did not permit at-the-door entry and only patrons who registered online were granted access. For these locations, patrons were encouraged to download the app 802A at the time of registration with details of the competition displayed as part of an on-line registration process. Whether or not the branded resident application 310 is downloaded ahead of time or on-site, patrons received a fully branded EZ Vodka app with no need to register as campaign users.
Once inside the nightclub club, patrons clicked away all night automatically receiving EZ Vodka branded images that could be shared on all the pre-selected social networks. In addition, patrons had the option of uploading one or more images to the EZ Vodka competition opening up the possibility of winning a trip for two to Oslo. Shared images were posted with a brief textual footer inviting social media friends to vote in the competition 708, the winner of which gets an all-expenses paid trip to Oslo. The footer also included a link to the EZ Vodka Facebook page. Voting was simple; the on-line gallery was open to everyone—both nightclub patrons and anyone who received a branded image through one of the preselected social media networks. Anyone wishing to vote viewed the gallery and simply double-clicked on the selected image vote. Only one vote was possible within a single browser session.
Stated differently, in order to vote multiple times, the end user had to close the browser and reload the page. No registration was required in order for the end user to vote. Voters were able to add comments to one or more pictures on the gallery by simply completing two fields—providing a name or alias and the comment itself. Just as SSM monitored posted images for suitability, comments were also monitored and removed if necessary.
All users that posted one or more images to the competition and shared that image through a social media network 800 received push notifications to their mobile devices 310 reminding them to get their friends to vote for them. Notifications were sent out 72, 48 and 24 hours prior to the end of the competition. Users were given a campaign-specific opt-out option should they wish not to receive any further notifications.
5. Campaign analytics. After the physical campaign was over the on-line competition remained open for five days. During the campaign and afterwards, SSM and DD managers were able to access campaign analytics by logging in to the campaign website.
