1 is a diagram illustrating an advertisement service system according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the advertisement service system according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a terminal device 100 for receiving an advertisement and an advertisement platform device 200 for providing an advertisement to the terminal device 100. It has a configuration.

The terminal device 100 refers to a mobile device that receives an advertisement through an advertisement medium and performs a series of operations such as accessing a service page through selection of an advertisement.

For example, the terminal device 100 may include, for example, a smartphone, a tablet PC, a PDA, and the like, and is not limited thereto. The advertisement may be received through an advertisement medium, and a service page (eg, a web page) may be used. All browser-enabled devices for connection may be included.

In this case, the advertisement medium enabling the advertisement reception in the terminal device 100 may correspond to, for example, an application executed in the terminal device 100 or a service page that can be accessed by calling a browser in the terminal device 100. There will be.

Such an advertisement medium includes a software development kit (SDK) related to receiving an advertisement during the development process. In the end device 100, a terminal device 100 receives a series of requests, receptions, and displays of advertisements through the SDK included in the advertisement medium. It will perform the action.

For reference, the advertisement medium may support a function of collecting advertisement processing information made by the advertisement platform device 200 as well as the above-described series of functions leading to advertisement request, reception, and display.

Thus, when the terminal device 100 receives, displays, or selects an advertisement in an application or service page, the terminal device 100 may collect it as advertisement processing information and transmit it to the advertisement platform device 200.

In addition, the terminal device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention receives an advertisement through a pull method for requesting and receiving an advertisement from the advertisement platform device 200 using its own device identification information. .

However, the present invention is not limited to the above advertisement receiving method, and may receive an advertisement even by a push method for receiving an advertisement provided by the advertisement platform apparatus 200 without a separate advertisement request for the advertisement platform apparatus 200. Of course it can.

The advertisement platform device 200 refers to an advertisement server that provides an advertisement to the terminal device 100.

In the advertisement platform device 200, when an advertisement is requested from the terminal device 100, the advertisement platform device 200 selects an advertisement having a high probability of being clicked on the terminal device 100, and selects the selected advertisement to the terminal device 100. Advertisement is guaranteed through the provision method.

Meanwhile, in the advertisement platform device 200 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, when an advertisement is requested from the terminal device 100, a paid advertisement registered by an advertiser is first provided, and an advertisement quantity of the registered paid advertisement is provided. If all are exhausted, a free advertisement is provided to the terminal device 100 in place of the paid advertisement.

However, as mentioned in the prior art, free advertisements, unlike paid advertisements, cannot be individually managed for advertisements such as predicting or improving future advertisement effects, because the quantity of advertisements cannot be specified.

Furthermore, in the case of free advertisement, there may be an advertisement interruption time in which the advertisement provision itself is stopped according to the advertisement execution policy in the advertisement platform device 200.

Therefore, when an advertisement request is received from the terminal device 100 during the advertisement interruption time, the corresponding advertisement cannot be provided to the terminal device 100, which means that the advertisement providing reliability of the free advertisement is based on the advertisement providing reliability of the paid advertisement. This means that they will fall significantly.

As such, the characteristics of the free advertisement, in which the reliability of providing the advertisement is lower than that of the paid advertisement, may serve as a factor that makes individual management of the free advertisement more difficult, such as predicting or improving future advertisement effects.

Thus, the first embodiment of the present invention is to propose a separate management scheme for free advertising, and will be described in detail below the configuration of the advertising platform device 200 for implementing this.

Meanwhile, the advertisements mentioned below are not paid advertisements registered by advertisers, but are self-advertising, house advertisements, or affiliated advertisement media provided by the advertisement platform apparatus 100 directly with the advertisement media directly associated with them. It is assumed that it is a free advertisement such as a barter advertisement provided.

2 is a diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of an advertisement flat apparatus 200 according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the advertisement flat apparatus 200 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a determination unit 210 for determining advertisement process accuracy and advertisement provision reliability for a plurality of advertisements, each of which has a plurality of advertisements. Determining unit 220 for determining the advertisement provision rate for the control unit, a control unit 230 for providing each of a plurality of advertisements in accordance with the determined advertisement provision ratio, and the providing unit 240 for providing the advertisement to the terminal device 100 It may have a configuration including.

Here, the advertisement manufacturing process accuracy is information that can be determined based on the number of advertisement selections in which the advertisement is selected in the terminal device 100, and may indicate how much probability the advertisement displayed in the terminal device 100 is selected.

In addition, the advertisement providing reliability may be determined based on the advertisement interruption time during which the advertisement is suspended during the advertisement period, and may indicate how continuously the advertisement may be provided throughout the advertisement period.

The whole or at least part of the configuration of the advertisement platform device 200 including the determination unit 210, the determination unit 220, the control unit 230, and the providing unit 240 may be in the form of a software module executed by a processor or It may be implemented in the form of a hardware module, or may be implemented in the form of a combination of a software module and a hardware module.

As a result, the advertisement platform apparatus 200 according to the first embodiment of the present invention may determine the advertisement providing rate for each of the plurality of advertisements through the above configurations, and provide an advertisement according to the determined advertisement providing rate. In the following will be described in detail for each component in the advertising platform device 200 to implement this.

The determination unit 210 performs a function of determining the advertisement manufacturing process accuracy and the advertisement providing reliability.

More specifically, the determination unit 210 determines the accuracy of the advertising process for each of the plurality of advertisements by using the advertisement selection frequency in which the advertisement is selected in the terminal apparatus 100, and the advertisement providing to the terminal apparatus 100 is stopped. The advertisement interruption time is used to determine the reliability of advertisement provision for each of a plurality of advertisements.

At this time, the determination unit 210 may determine, as shown in Equation 1 below, the ratio of the advertisement selection frequency to the advertisement display frequency in which the advertisement is displayed in the terminal device 100 as the advertisement production accuracy.

[Equation 1]

As a result, the determination unit 210 determines the accuracy of the advertisement production process as the ratio of the advertisement selection frequency to the advertisement display frequency is large according to the above [Formula 1].

Applying the square root of the number of advertisement display in Equation 1 above is to give a higher weight to the number of advertisement selection than the number of advertisement display in determining the advertising process accuracy.

Thus, when there are two or more advertisements having the same ratio of the advertisement selection frequency to the advertisement display frequency, the determination unit 210 determines the advertisement process accuracy of the specific advertisement having the smallest advertisement display number among the two or more advertisements. It can be determined higher than the advertising process accuracy.

In addition, adding the integer '1' to the advertisement display frequency in [Formula 1] is to prevent the denominator from being '0' when the advertisement display number is '0'.

For reference, the number of advertisement display and the number of advertisement selection used to determine the accuracy of the advertisement production process may be confirmed from the advertisement processing information received from the terminal device 100.

As a result, the determination unit 210 confirms the advertisement display number and the advertisement selection frequency from the advertisement processing information received from the terminal device 100, and uses the ratio of the confirmed advertisement selection number to the confirmed advertisement display number to occupy the advertisement. The accuracy of provision can be determined.

On the other hand, the determination unit 210 as shown in Equation 2 below, to determine the ratio of the advertisement interruption time to the advertisement providing time for the advertisement providing time (advertisement period) that can provide the advertisement to the terminal device 100 as the advertisement providing reliability. Can be.

[Formula 2]

In the above Equation 2, the integer '1' is added to the advertisement stop time to prevent the denominator from being '0' when the advertisement stop time is '0'.

As a result, the determination unit 210 determines the reliability of the advertisement provision as the ratio of the advertisement interruption time to the advertisement provision time is smaller according to Equation 2 above.

Here, since the advertisement providing time is generally of a fixed size (time), it may be interpreted that the smaller the advertisement focusing time, the higher the advertisement providing reliability is determined.

The determination unit 220 performs a function of determining an advertisement providing rate for each of the plurality of advertisements.

More specifically, the determination unit 220 determines the advertisement provision rate for each of the plurality of advertisements using the advertisement process accuracy and the advertisement provision reliability when the determination of the advertisement process accuracy and the advertisement provision reliability is completed.

Here, the advertisement provision ratio may be determined using priority weights and priority scores calculated for each of the plurality of advertisements.

In this regard, the determination unit 220 calculates priority weights for each of the plurality of advertisements using advertisement process accuracy and advertisement provision reliability, as shown in Equation 3 below.

[Equation 3]

As a result, the determination unit 220 may calculate the priority weighting value of the specific advertisement, which is determined to have high advertisement process accuracy and advertisement providing reliability, among the plurality of advertisements, according to the above Equation 3, to be greater than the priority weighting of the remaining advertisements.

When the calculation of the priority weighting value is completed, the determination unit 220 calculates the priority level weight value calculated as shown in Equation 4 below and the amount of advertisement provision provided to the terminal device 100 during the previous advertisement period (number of advertisements). Calculate the priority score for each of the plurality of advertisements using.

[Equation 4]

Here, in the above [Equation 4], adding the integer '1' to the result of multiplying the advertisement provision quantity and the priority weight value, the final priority score is' This is to prevent 0 '.

As such, preventing the priority score from becoming '0' reduces the exception handling resource (cost) of excluding advertisements having the priority score of '0' in determining the advertisement serving rate for each of a plurality of advertisements. To do this.

As a result, the determination unit 220 may calculate a priority score of a specific advertisement having a large amount of advertisement offerings or a large priority weighting value larger than the priority weighting of the remaining advertisements according to Equation 4 above. have.

For example, when Ad 1, Ad 2, and Ad 3 exist as multiple advertisements, the priority weights and priority scores may be calculated as shown in Table 1 below.

	Volume of advertisements (number of advertisements)	Ad display frequency	Number of ads selected	Ad break time	Priority weight	Priority score
Ad 1	110	99	One	0	0.01	1.1
Ad 2	1100	999	One	0	0.0001	0.11
Ad 3	2100	1999	10	0	0.00025	0.525

According to the above [Table 1], since the advertisement providing stop time is all '0', the reliability of advertisement provision for advertisement 1, advertisement 2, and advertisement 3 are all the same, whereas for advertisement process accuracy, the number of advertisement display is the lowest. It may be determined that the advertisement providing reliability of the advertisement 1 having the largest ratio of the advertisement selection frequency to the advertisement display frequency is the largest.

As a result, since the advertisement providing reliability is the same, it can be seen that the priority weighting value and the priority score of the advertisement 1 having the highest advertising process accuracy are calculated to be the highest.

On the other hand, in the case of Ad 3, despite the lowest advertising process accuracy, it can be seen that the final calculated priority score precedes Ad 2, which adds much more ad serving volume to Ad Priority Score. Because it was considered.

Subsequently, when the calculation of the advertisement priority score is completed, the determination unit 220 determines an advertisement provision ratio for each of the plurality of advertisements by using the advertisement priority score calculated as in Equation 5 below.

[Equation 5]

Here, 'ROUND' is a rounding function that rounds off at the first decimal place.

On the other hand, the determination unit 220 is a result of summing the previously determined advertising provision ratio in the advertisement provision ratio '100' as shown in Equation 6 below for the last advertisement of the plurality of advertisements is determined. By subtracting the rate of advertisement provision can be determined.

[Equation 6]

In relation to the example referring to the above [Table 1], the advertisement provision ratio for the advertisement 1, the advertisement 2, and the advertisement 3 may be determined as shown in [Table 2] below.

	Priority score	Ad Serving Rate
Ad 1	1.1	63
Ad 2	0.11	6
Ad 3	0.525	31

As a result, the determination unit 220 determines the advertisement providing rate of the specific advertisement having the highest priority score among the plurality of advertisements according to the above [Equation 5] and [Equation 6] higher than the advertisement providing rate of the remaining ads, which is In other words, it means that a high advertisement provision ratio can be determined among advertisements with high advertising process accuracy and reliability of advertisement provision.

The controller 230 performs a function of controlling the advertisement to be provided according to the advertisement provision rate.

More specifically, after the advertisement providing rate is determined, the controller 230, when an advertisement request is received from the terminal device 100, a specific advertisement selected according to the advertisement providing rate among the plurality of advertisements will be provided to the terminal device 100. To control it.

In this case, the controller 230 selects an arbitrary point within an advertisement selection section in which a selection section of each of the plurality of advertisements exists, so that an advertisement of a specific selection section to which the selected arbitrary point belongs may be provided to the terminal device 100. Make sure

For example, in relation to the above examples referring to [Table 1] and [Table 2], there is an advertisement 1 determined as the first advertisement ratio, an advertisement 2 determined as the second advertisement ratio, and an advertisement 3 determined as the third advertisement ratio. 3, the advertisement selection section includes a first selection section having a size corresponding to the first advertisement providing rate, a second selection section having a size corresponding to the second advertisement providing rate, and a third advertisement. A third selection section, which is a size corresponding to the provision rate, may be designated.

In this regard, the controller 230 selects an arbitrary point within the device selection section, and if the selected random point is the first selection section, the advertisement 1 is provided to the terminal device 100, and the selected arbitrary point is In the second selection section, the advertisement 2 may be provided to the terminal device 100, and the oral advertisement 3, which is the third selection section, may be provided to the terminal device 100.

On the other hand, the operation of the control unit 230 to select an arbitrary point in the advertisement selection section may be performed using a random function as shown in [Equation 7].

[Formula 7]

Here, the random function 100 refers to a function that returns an integer of one hundred numbers.

As a result, the controller 230 may select an arbitrary point within the advertisement selection section according to [Equation 7] above, wherein, in the selection section of each designated section of the advertisement selection section, It can be seen that the probability that the selection section having the largest size is selected by the controller 230 becomes the highest.

The providing unit 240 performs a function of providing an advertisement.

More specifically, the providing unit 240 may provide the terminal device 100 with a specific advertisement selected according to the advertisement providing ratio among the plurality of advertisements according to the control signal received from the control unit 230.

Check the time to determine the reliability of advertisement provision for each of the plurality of advertisements (S110-S120).

In this case, the determination unit 210 may determine, as the advertising process accuracy, the ratio of the advertisement selection frequency to the advertisement display frequency in which the advertisement is displayed on the terminal device 100, and the ratio of the advertisement selection frequency to the advertisement display frequency is determined. The larger the value, the higher the level of advertisement process.

On the other hand, if there are two or more advertisements having the same ratio of the number of advertisement selection to the number of advertisement display times, the determination unit 210 determines the accuracy of the advertising process of the specific advertisement having the fewer advertisement display times among the two or more advertisements. It can be determined higher than the advertising process accuracy.

For reference, the number of advertisement display and the number of advertisement selection used to determine the accuracy of the advertisement production process may be confirmed from the advertisement processing information received from the terminal device 100.

As a result, the determination unit 210 confirms the advertisement display number and the advertisement selection frequency from the advertisement processing information received from the terminal device 100, and uses the ratio of the confirmed advertisement selection number to the confirmed advertisement display number to occupy the advertisement. The accuracy of provision can be determined.

In addition, the determination unit 210 may determine, as the advertisement providing reliability, the ratio of the advertisement stopping time to the advertisement providing time (advertising period) for providing the advertisement to the terminal device 100. The smaller the ratio of advertisement interruption time is, the higher the reliability of advertisement provision is determined.

Here, since the advertisement providing time is generally of a fixed size (time), it may be interpreted that the smaller the advertisement focusing time, the higher the advertisement providing reliability is determined.

Then, the determination unit 220 determines the advertisement provision ratio for each of the plurality of advertisements using the advertisement production process accuracy and the advertisement providing reliability when the determination of the advertisement production process accuracy and the advertisement providing reliability is completed (S130).

Here, the advertisement provision ratio may be determined using priority weights and priority scores calculated for each of the plurality of advertisements.

In this regard, the determination unit 220 calculates a priority weight for each of the plurality of advertisements using the advertisement manufacturing process accuracy and the advertisement providing reliability.

In this case, the determination unit 220 may calculate the priority weight value of the specific advertisement, which is determined among the plurality of advertisements, the advertisement process accuracy and the reliability of providing the advertisement to be greater than the priority weight value of the remaining advertisements.

When the calculation of the priority weights is completed, the determination unit 220 uses the calculated priority level weights and the amount of advertisements provided to the terminal device 100 (number of advertisements provided) during the previous advertisement period to each of the plurality of advertisements. Calculate the priority score for

In this case, the determination unit 220 may calculate a priority score of a specific advertisement having a large amount of advertisement provision quantity or a large priority weight value among the plurality of advertisements, than the priority weight value of the remaining advertisements.

Subsequently, when the calculation of the advertisement priority score is completed, the determination unit 220 determines an advertisement provision ratio for each of the plurality of advertisements by using the advertisement priority score calculated as in Equation 5 below.

At this time, the determination unit 220 determines the advertisement providing ratio of the specific advertisement having the highest priority score among the plurality of advertisements higher than the advertisement providing ratio of the remaining advertisements, which is the advertisement process accuracy and the reliability of the advertisement provision among the plurality of advertisements. Will be able to determine a high advertisement provision rate for high advertisement.

Then, after the advertisement providing rate is determined, the control unit 230, when an advertisement request is received from the terminal device 100, a specific advertisement selected according to the advertisement providing rate among a plurality of advertisements may be provided to the terminal device 100. It is controlled so as to (S140-S150).

In this case, the controller 230 selects an arbitrary point within an advertisement selection section in which a selection section of each of the plurality of advertisements exists, so that an advertisement of a specific selection section to which the selected arbitrary point belongs may be provided to the terminal device 100. Make sure

For example, assuming that there is an advertisement 1 determined as the first advertisement ratio, an advertisement 2 determined as the second advertisement ratio, and an advertisement 3 determined as the third advertisement ratio, as shown in FIG. A first selection section that is a size corresponding to the first advertisement providing rate, a second selection section that is a size corresponding to the second advertisement providing rate, and a third selection section that is a size corresponding to the third advertisement providing rate may be designated.

In this regard, the controller 230 selects an arbitrary point within the device selection section, and if the selected random point is the first selection section, the advertisement 1 is provided to the terminal device 100, and the selected arbitrary point is In the second selection section, the advertisement 2 may be provided to the terminal device 100, and the oral advertisement 3, which is the third selection section, may be provided to the terminal device 100.

As a result, it can be seen that the selection section of the advertisement having the highest advertisement providing ratio, that is, the selection section having the largest size, among the selection sections of the designated advertisements within the advertisement selection section has the highest probability of being selected by the controller 230.

Thereafter, the providing unit 240 provides the terminal apparatus 100 with a specific advertisement selected according to the advertisement providing ratio among the plurality of advertisements according to the control signal received from the controller 230 (S160).

As described above, according to the operation flow in the advertisement platform apparatus 200 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the advertisement providing rate using the advertisement selection frequency and the advertisement stop time for each of a plurality of advertisements (free advertisement) By determining and providing each of the plurality of advertisements according to the determined advertisement provision ratio, the effect of predicting or improving the advertisement effect is achieved.

10 is a diagram showing an advertisement service method according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 10, when an API requesting an advertisement is called by an advertisement medium developer (S210), the advertisement SDK determines whether the policy cycle has expired (S220). Here, the policy period is a period for checking whether a new advertisement policy is set, and may be a predetermined period. The advertisement policy is a policy for controlling the advertisement request at the client end and includes an advertisement request restriction condition.

As a result of the determination of S220, if the policy period has expired, the advertisement SDK requests and receives an advertisement policy from the policy service apparatus (S230), and stores the received advertisement policy (S240). At this time, if the policy period has expired, the advertisement SDK may check the version of the pre-stored advertisement policy and transmit an advertisement policy request signal including the confirmed advertisement policy version to the policy service device. Then, the policy service apparatus compares the advertisement policy version stored in the policy database with the advertisement policy version included in the advertisement policy request signal. As a result of comparison, when the latest advertisement policy is stored in the policy database, the advertisement SDK is provided with the latest advertisement policy. If the two versions are the same, the policy service device may not provide the advertisement policy but may provide information indicating that the versions are the same in response to the advertisement policy request signal.

Thereafter, the advertisement SDK looks up the stored advertisement policy (S250) and determines whether an advertisement request is possible (S260). In other words, the Ad SDK looks up the ad request constraints in the advertising policy to determine whether the ad request constraints are met. If the ad SDK meets the ad request constraints, it determines that the ad request is impossible and does not meet the ad request constraints. If the request is determined to be possible.

For example, if the advertising policy is set to a limit of five daily ad requests, then the Ad SDK determines that an ad request is possible if the current number of ad requests is less than five times, and that an ad request is impossible if there are five or more times. do.

In addition, if the advertising policy is set to limit the number of ad requests three times during the unit time, the ad SDK determines that the ad request is possible if the number of ad requests is less than three times during the current time, and that the ad request is impossible if more than three times. do.

In addition, if the advertising policy is set to limit the number of times the ad impressions (displays) during the unit time, the ad SDK determines that an ad request is possible if the number of ad impressions (displays) is less than five times during the current time, If the request is determined to be impossible.

In addition, when the advertising policy is set to A user restriction, the advertising SDK checks the user based on the terminal identification information or the user identification information, and determines that the user can request an advertisement if the user verification result is not A user. It is determined that an advertisement request is impossible.

In addition, if the advertising policy is set to A App (or Site) Restrictions, the Ads SDK checks whether it is A App (or Site), and if it is not A App (or Site), determines that an ad request is possible and A App ( Or site), it is determined that an advertisement request is impossible.

Also, if the advertising policy is set to include a specific version of the ad SDK, the ad SDK checks its version and determines that an ad request is possible if it is not a specific version. To judge.

As a result of the determination in S612, if an advertisement request is possible, the advertisement SDK transmits an advertisement request signal to the advertisement service apparatus (S270), and receives an advertisement including an advertisement policy version from the advertisement service apparatus (S280). That is, when the advertisement SDK transmits an advertisement request signal to the advertisement service apparatus, the advertisement service apparatus includes the latest advertisement policy version in the advertisement and transmits the advertisement to the advertisement SDK. Here, the advertisement policy version may be the latest advertisement policy version.

When S280 is performed, the advertisement SDK exposes (displays) the received advertisement (S290), and determines whether the advertisement policy version is the same as the previously stored advertisement policy version (S300). At this time, the advertisement SDK counts the number of advertisement requests and the number of advertisement exposures (displays).

As a result of the determination of S300, if the two versions are not the same, the advertisement SDK deletes the previously stored advertising policy (S310). After that, when an API requesting an advertisement from an advertisement medium developer is called, the advertisement SDK may determine that the policy cycle is expired because there is no stored advertisement policy, and access the policy service device to receive the latest advertisement policy.

If, as a result of the determination in S260, the advertisement request is impossible, the advertisement SDK does not make an advertisement request (S320).

If, as a result of the determination of S220, if the policy period has not expired, the advertisement SDK performs S250.
