Patent

CA 2677145

Systems and methods presented herein generally provide for the compensation of asset providers and/or communications network providers for the non-consumption of assets provided with programming. In this regard, when users elect not to consume the assets associated with the programming, the asset provider loses the opportunity to present their assets to such non-consuming users and is thereby injured in relation to the price they have paid for the delivery of their assets. In one arrangement, a reporting module (616) at a customer device (602) is operative to identify when a user skips an asset and report that skip event to the network. This information may then be utilized to adjust the bill of the asset provider and/or to bill the user associated with the skip event.

L'invention porte sur des systèmes et sur des procédés assurant généralement la compensation de fournisseurs de ressources et/ou de fournisseurs de réseaux de communications concernant la non consommation de ressources associées à une programmation. À cet effet, lorsque des utilisateurs ne choisissent pas de consommer les ressources associées à la programmation, le fournisseur de ressources perd l'opportunité de présenter leurs ressources à ces utilisateurs non consommateurs et est ainsi lésé par rapport au prix qu'ils ont payé pour la distribution de leurs ressources. Dans un système, un module de rapport (616) au niveau d'un dispositif client (602) est activé pour identifier à quel moment un utilisateur saute une ressource et rapporte au réseau cet événement de saut. Cette information peut ensuite être utilisée pour ajuster la facture du fournisseur de ressources et/ou pour facturer l'utilisateur associé à l'événement de saut.
