Abstract

There is provided a system comprising a non-transitory memory storing an executable code and a hardware processor executing the executable code to receive first viewing data for a media content including a first total viewing time of the media content on a first viewing platform, receive a total possible number of viewers and a first audience composition percentage of a first audience viewing the media content on the first viewing platform, determine a first ratio by dividing the first total viewing time of the media content on the first viewing platform by a duration of the media content for the first viewing platform, and calculate a first platform rating for the media content by multiplying the first ratio by the first audience composition percentage and a first co-viewing factor and dividing by the total possible number of viewers.

Background

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS(1) FIG. 1 shows a diagram of an exemplary system for determining multi-platform media ratings, according to one implementation of the present disclosure;(2) FIG. 2 shows a diagram of an exemplary approach for determining a multi-platform rating, according to one implementation of the present disclosure;(3) FIG. 3 shows a flowchart illustrating an exemplary method of determining multi-platform media ratings, according to one implementation of the present disclosure; and(4) FIG. 4 shows a flowchart illustrating an exemplary method ofselecting and paying for advertising based on platform-specific media ratings, according to one implementation of the present disclosure.DETAILED DESCRIPTION(5) The following description contains specific information pertaining to implementations in the present disclosure.

Claims

1. A system comprising: a non-transitory memory storing an executable code; and a hardware processor executing the executable code to: receive first viewing data for a media content including a first total viewing time of the media content on a firstviewing platform; receive a total possible number of viewers and a first audience composition percentage of a first audience viewing the media content on the first viewing platform; determine a first ratio by dividing the first total viewing time of the media content on the first viewing platform by a duration of the media content for the first viewing platform; and calculate a first platform rating for the media content by multiplying the firstratio by the first audience composition percentage and a first co-viewing factor and dividing by the total possible number of viewers. 11. A method for use with a system includinga non-transitory memory storing a co-viewing factor database and a hardware processor, the method comprising: receiving, using the hardware processor, first viewing data for a media content including a first total viewing time of the media content on a first viewing platform; receiving, using the hardware processor, a total possible number of viewers and a first audience composition percentage of a first audience viewing the media content on thefirst viewing platform; determining, using the hardware processor, a first ratio by dividing the first total viewing time of the media content on the first viewing platform by a duration of the media content for the first viewing platform; and calculating, using the hardware processor, a first platform rating for the media content by multiplying the first ratio by the first audience composition percentage and a first co-viewing factor and dividing by the total possible number of viewers.
