  • Audience is publicly described as producing behavioural segments built from visit history and venue graph attributes.
  • Segments are described as usable inputs to activation and measurement.
Strategic Commentary
  • The observed segmentation capability appears to correspond to a behavioural grouping layer consistent with the patent's matching inputs.
  • The relationship is described only at an architectural level.
