Personalized advertisement-duration control for streaming delivery

This paper describes the development of a streaming advertisement delivery system that controls the insertion of streaming advertisements into streaming content.Conventional personalization techniques lack a time-control function for advertisement insertion, so the advertisement exposure for each user access can become excessive, much to the annoyance of viewers. This could devalue streaming content by making it less attractive.In our technique, advertisement insertion control is based on the history of each viewer. This personalization method makes it possible to maintain a balanced ratio of the advertisement length to the content length. As a result, our technique should encourage the growth of Internet streaming services and enable more effective and less intrusive advertising.
