Semcasting Receives U.S. Patent, Recognizing Smart Zones' Readiness for the Internet of Things

"Marketers and analysts are looking to understand the users' engagement with IoT devices in order to gain a better understanding of intent," said Ray Kingman, CEO and founder of Semcasting. "Whether it is for personal fitness, home management or logistics, the ability to map device engagement back to specific users, marketing channels, and campaigns, allows marketers to better identify trends and initiate appropriate actions to specific audiences. Smart Zones makes all of this possible. It offers actionable insights for businesses about users by providing a deterministic map of the users."

Semcasting's Smart Zones process is a service that logs device users by their IP address and leverages the company's IP targeting technology to detail unique users by demographic profile, location, device type, and associated marketing channels. Benefits include:

• • One-Step User Definition: Leveraging the device, device IP addresses are able to be mapped to ISP delivery points and device locations and then enhanced with over 750 demographic and socio-graphic attributes for analysis and response segmentation including the online media they are known to engage with.

• • Connectivity: The Smart Zones platform provides universal ID connectivity and mapping between home, business, email, social platforms, and location coordinates.

• • Analytic Optimization Support: Enhanced with demographic and socio-graphic attributes, the users of IoT devices can be enhanced, modeled, and segmented for marketing or business application.
