INTEGRATED DISTRUBITION NETWORK FOR MEDIA STORAGE UNITS AND CHANGEABLE ADVERTISING USING A MEDIA VENDING MACHINE

摘要

A system collects and analyzes data to determine a media storage unit to be distributed through a media distribution network for positioning in a media vending machine. A media purveyor receives popularity data, sales data for the media storage unit within a defined geographical region, demographic data, and inventory data to help the media purveyor in determining which media storage units should be positioned within a media vending machine. The media purveyor provides data to advertisers to assist the advertisers in composing an offer for advertising space on the media vending machine. After receiving the offers from the advertisers, the media purveyor can determine which advertisement to place on the media vending machine.
