Analysis and display of a precis of global licensing activities

摘要

The system and method provide an efficient and effective way to provision views of up to date ongoing activities associated with the works of a client (e.g., global registration of rights relating to licensing of multimedia material) by territory and content. The system provides the client a way to configure a selection précis of up to date activities and extract from a full complement of data (e.g., royalty administration and rights management life cycle metrics) received from global partners responsible for collecting work rights information. The system reformats the data received from partners into a unified format, applies compression rules to obtain an optimized summary of the data, and filters the summarized data according to the predetermined client customized preferences.

1. A method for providing a client with an activity feed from a system that identifies activity status for works of the client, the method comprising:
receiving, through a communications interface connected to a network, data from geographically disparate partners; reformatting, by a processor, the data into a unified format by comparing the data from each partner with respective partner rules for one or more activity types; extracting by the processor activity data from the reformatted data; creating by the processor activity posts for each work of the client from the extracted activity data; identifying by the processor an activity type from the one or more activity types that is associated with each of the activity posts created from the extracted activity data; storing the activity posts in a database; determining by the processor for each identified activity type whether duplicate activity posts exist associated with a same identified activity type and calculating the number of duplicate activity posts associated with the same identified activity type created during a user configurable period; identifying for each identified activity type a data count maximum value; comparing by the processor for each identified activity type the calculated number of duplicate activity posts during the user configurable period with the data count maximum value; based on the comparing, determining the calculated number of duplicate activity posts during the user configurable period is greater than the data count maximum value, and grouping the duplicate activity posts in a new activity post and posting the new activity post with the calculated number of duplicate activity posts to the activity feed display; retrieving a client view preference and a client type profile; communicating the activity feed display to a screen formatter; formatting by the processor the activity feed display into a form that is compatible with an equipment and a format requested by the client based on the retrieved client view preference and client type profile; and communicating, using the screen formatter, the activity feed display to the client.
