`
`The present application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. 119(c) to U.S.
`
`Provisional Application No. 61/026,449,
`
`filed
`
`February 5, 2008, which is hereby
`
`incorporated by referencein its entirety, including specifically but not limited to the systems
`
`and methodsrelating to advertisement transmission and display.
`
`BACKGROUND
`
`Field
`
`[0002] The invention relates generally to media advertising and in particular to
`
`systems and methodsfor associating an advertising media signal with another mediasignal.
`
`Description of the Related Art
`[0003]
`In advertising, it is generally desirable to associate products with specific
`
`characteristics, such as associating a brand of car with quality engineering. Another example
`
`is associating a brand of beverage with the characteristic of happinessorlifestyle as exhibited
`
`by smiling people. Creating such associations in the minds of potential customers may
`generally increase the chance that a potential customer will choose to purchase a productthat
`is associated with a favorable characteristic. Celebrities and other images often exhibit
`
`favorable characteristics. Therefore, an advertisement may be moreeffective if the product
`
`advertisement is associated with an image of a celebrity or other media element exhibiting
`
`favorable characteristics.

`
`DETAILED DESCRIPTION
`
`[0023]
`
`The disclosure herein provides
`
`systems and methods
`
`for a media
`
`enhancement system configured to associate a secondary media signal (for example, the
`
`secondary media signal can comprise an advertisement) to a primary media signal (for
`
`example, a radio broadcast).
`
`The disclosure herein additionally provides systems and
`
`methods for a media enhancement system that enables the generating,
`
`transmitting,
`
`displaying, and/or responding to a plurality of associated and/or unassociated secondary
`
`media signals, based on a primary media content from a primary media signal, user
`
`characteristics (for example, demographic and/or geographic information), and/or third-party
`
`preferences (for example, the goals of advertisers). The secondary mediasignals can be used
`
`to enhance the primary media content already being provided to the user on a user device.
`
`The secondary media signals can also be used to create psychological associations or
`
`relationships with the primary media content already being providedto theuser.
`
`[0024]
`
`For example, in one embodiment, a radio station transmits a song thatis
`
`received by a user enabled-device, such as a cellular phone with a radio. The transmitted
`
`song is transmitted in a first media signal. The song is analyzed by a media association
`system to determine what prospective media elements can be associated with the song. The
`user enabled-device obtains and/or receives from the media association system a secondary
`
`media signal that is separate and/or discrete from the first media signal. For example, the
`
`secondary media signal could be an advertisementfor a particular truck. As the user enabled-
`
`device is playing a song obtained from the first mediasignal, the user enabled-device displays
`
`-4.
`
`Petitioner
`
`Ex. 1002 - Page 9
`
`Petitioner
`Ex. 1002 - Page 9
`
`

`

`the media content in the second media signal, wherein the media content can bea still or
`movingpicture of the advertised truck. In another embodiment, as the user enabled-deviceis
`playing a song obtained from the first media signal, the user enabled-device displays the
`media content obtained from the second media signal, wherein the media content can be a
`still or moving picture with user selectable audio of the advertised truck wherein the first
`
`audio track could be paused uponselection.
`[0025]
`Additional information could be associated with the first media signal
`and/or the secondary mediasignal. For example, additional information could be obtained by
`the user enabled-device in the form of a text messagethatoffers a test drive of the advertised
`
`truck at a local truck dealer. A third media signal could be obtained or received by the user
`enable-device providing the address information and/or direction to the nearest truck dealer
`based on the GPS location of the user enabled-device. As an alternative to GPS,
`
`triangulation or other similar method may also be used to locate the user-enabled device.
`Accordingly, one or more media signals can be associated with the first media signal.
`[0026]
`In one embodiment, the system provides logic and/or a user interface to
`allow users to select the form of desired media. For example, the user can select to receive
`textual, graphical, and/or audio media content based on the user’s location. For example, if
`the user is in an environment that is not conducive to generating audio, such as in some
`transit systems, libraries, and/or schools, then the system could generate graphical and/or
`
`textual media content, and no audio media content.
`[0027]
`In another embodiment,
`the first media signal provides and/or sends
`programming and/or other media content, the second media signal provides and/or sends
`additional information about the programming from a source other than the originator of the
`first media signal, and/or the third media signal (from a third party source) could provide
`and/or send unique media content to be associated with the first media signal and/or the
`second media signal. For example, a radio broadcast is received as the first media signal by a
`user device comprising an analog or digital receiver. The user device also receives the
`second media signal through for example, GPRS, EVDO and/or HSDPA over a wireless
`network, wherein the second media signal comprises additional
`information about
`the
`broadcast, such as an artist name,a title, an advertisement, an advertiser, a purchase option, a

`

`voting option, and/or other interactive options available and/or related to the first media
`
`signal. The user device also receives the third media signal comprising comments sourced
`
`through a peer to peer relationship received from other user devices relaying comments,
`
`opinions, and/or other additional information aboutthe first and/or second mediasignals.
`
`[0028]
`
`In one embodiment, the system comprises a computational device that
`
`receives a streamed internet transmission sourced from a radio station, a radio receiver that
`
`receives the first media stream from the radio station, a user device such as a cell phone
`
`capable of presenting to the user a media stream, and/or a storage device that could be
`
`connected via a networkto at least a computational device and/or the user device/cell phone.
`
`The storage device is configured to present the multiple media streams that are available.
`
`The computational device is configured to perform an analysis of the first media stream.
`
`Based on user selectable criteria, the computational device is configured to select from the
`
`storage device which available media stream is to be associated with the first media stream.
`
`The storage device is configured to use the network connection to send the selected
`
`additional media stream to the cell phone.
`
`[0029]
`
`The cell phone is configured to display the additional media stream.
`
`Whenthe user changes the radio status (for example, changes station and/or turns off the
`
`device), the additional media stream on the cell phone could be continued, the user or device
`
`could alert the computational device of the status change to be used in future analysis, and/or
`
`the radio could automatically communicate with the computational device regarding the
`
`changed status. The computational device is configured to continuously monitor and/or
`
`detect changes in the media streams from the radio station (for example, one song followed
`
`by another song)via the internet streaming of the radio station transmission.
`
`[0030]
`
`In one embodiment, the first media signal and the advertisement message
`
`could be integrated into the same transmission. The media association system could associate
`
`the first media signal with the advertisement message before the broadcast of the first media
`
`signal is completed. In another embodiment, the first media signal and the advertisement
`
`message are separate and discrete.
`
`In another embodiment,
`
`the first media signal
`
`is
`
`intercepted before reaching the user device and the advertisement message is added to the
`
`first media signal and sent on to the user device. In all three of the above embodiments,

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`wherethe first media signal and advertisement message are discrete, integrated or combined
`
`after interception, the device receives both the first media signal and the advertisement
`
`message and presents them to the user.
`
`[0031]
`
`In one embodiment, the first media signal and the second media signal are
`
`integrated into the same transmission. In one embodiment, the first media signal and the
`
`second media signal are separate and discrete. In one embodiment, the first media signalis
`
`intercepted before reaching the user device and the second media signal is addedto the first
`
`media signal and sent on to the user device. In one embodiment, the user can respondto the
`
`second media signal. In one embodiment, the user response is to the first media signal sender.
`
`In one embodiment,
`
`the user response is to the second media signal sender.
`
`In one
`
`embodiment, the user responseis to a third party. In one embodiment, the media content of
`
`the second media signal is selected based on demographic information of the user, status of
`
`the user device (such as make, model, geographic location and/or other pertinent information)
`
`and/or other like criteria. In one embodiment, the second media signal is transmitted to the
`
`user device prior to the transmission of the first media signal. In one embodiment, the media
`
`content of the second mediasignalis stored in the user device. In one embodiment, the stored
`
`media content of the second media signal is communicated to the user based on a media
`
`association system integrated into the user device. In one embodiment, a third signal is sent to
`
`the user device indicating which, if any, stored media content should be communicated to the
`
`user.
`
`[0032]
`
`As used herein, the terms “media” or “media content” are broad terms that
`
`comprise any form of content, including without limitation, graphics, videos, sounds,text,
`
`text messages,
`
`interactive applications, vibrations,
`
`television and/or radio programming,
`
`podcasts, movies, songs, games,
`
`telephone conversations, speeches, news,
`
`information,
`
`advertisements, polis votes, personal messages, and/or other physical manifestations capable
`
`of communicating a conceptor idea.
`
`[0033]
`
`Similarly,
`
`the terms “hear,” “view,” “read,” “feel,” “sense,” their
`
`synonyms,and their alternative conjugations should be used interchangeably whenreferring
`
`to any form of media. Whenone sensory verb is used in connection with one form of media,
`
`it will be clear that other forms of media could be used in conjunction with other sensory

`

`verbs (such as “hear a sound”is interchangeable with “view a graphic”). Similarly, the terms
`
`“display,” “present,” their synonyms, and their alternative conjugations should be used
`
`interchangeably and be broadly interpreted as providing media to be sensed by the user.
`
`[0034]
`
`The terms “media signal,” "broadcast stream," or “media stream” are
`
`broad terms that comprise broadcasts or transmissions from AM/FM radio, Digital radio,
`
`IBOC,Satellite, Cable, Analog television, Digital Television, HSDPA (3G), UMTS, CDMA,
`
`internet, WiFi,
`
`other
`
`broadcast
`
`stations/entities,
`
`and/or
`
`other media
`
`conveyance
`
`methodologies such as direct wire connections. Media signals can be unique media streams.
`
`Further, the foregoing terms also comprise data signals or data streams from servers or
`
`devices that stream data and/or media to other devices or servers. For example, a radio
`
`device can receive a first media signal comprising music media content being played by a
`
`radio station, and the radio device can also receive simultaneously, serially, or otherwise a
`
`second media signal comprising an advertisement sent by an advertisement server or media
`
`association system.
`[0035]
`Further, the term “program”is a broad term that comprises a portion of a
`media signal in any media form, or combinations thereof. This can comprise for example a
`
`discrete song, a series of songs, a truncated song, a song followed by or preceded by
`commentary, a song accompanied with graphical images and/or video, a song accompanied
`by text, combinations thereof, and/or an
