The general technical scheme of this scheduling system is to insert the advertising materials directly into the media page according to the predetermined schedule, and accelerate the access via the content delivery network. In case of mixed ad serving of agreement-based ads and dynamic ads, the logic for delivering cost per time and skylight ads shall be thought about concurrently. The advertising systems corresponding to the display quantity agreement are collectively referred to as the guaranteed delivery system.
