METHOD AND SYSTEM SUPPORTING AUDITED REPORTING OF ADVERTISING IMPRESSIONS FROM VIDEO GAMES

摘要

A variety of processes for certifying the reporting of advertising impressions provided via video games are described. These certification processes optionally take advantage of automated techniques for verifying that when advertising data is provided a corresponding advertisement is provided within the video game. In addition, as software patches are often provided for video games, a recommended process for certifying patched software is also described. Reporting data associated with advertising impressions provided from uncertified video games is considered suspect and optionally discarded.
