Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems lack an efficient method to automatically generate and track acquisition IDs for product offers and customer responses, making it difficult for vendors to analyze marketing campaigns and customer interactions effectively.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented system that generates acquisition IDs for product offers, associates them with customer accounts, and uses these IDs to track product sales and customer interactions, allowing for validation, analytics, and creation of new accounts, while also providing digital applications and adjudication processes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If acquisition IDs are manually tracked for product offers, then tracking accuracy is maintained, but labor intensity and time consumption increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetracking accuracyVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automatic self-service tracking where the acquisition ID system autonomously generates, assigns, and tracks product offer data without human intervention. The system automatically captures customer interactions, validates acquisition IDs, and updates tracking records, eliminating manual labor while maintaining high tracking accuracy through automated validation rules and data integrity checks

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical tracking processes with an automated electronic system that uses computer algorithms to generate acquisition IDs, validate offers, and track customer interactions. The system substitutes human-operated manual tracking with automated software processes that continuously monitor and record product offer performance data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Loss of information

If detailed tracking of customer interactions is implemented, then marketing analysis quality improves, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemarketing analysis qualityVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments tracking data into distinct categories including acquisition ID validation results, product offer performance metrics, customer interaction records, and campaign effectiveness data. This segmentation organizes complex information into manageable components that can be processed and analyzed separately, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive tracking capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary data processing layer that acts as a mediator between raw customer interaction data and marketing analysis requirements. This intermediary layer standardizes data formats, validates acquisition IDs, and aggregates interaction records into meaningful metrics, simplifying the complexity of processing detailed tracking information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If product offers are validated in real-time, then offer accuracy is ensured, but processing speed decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoffer accuracyVSAvoidprocessing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary validation of acquisition IDs and product offers by pre-establishing validation rules, offer parameters, and eligibility criteria in a database. When a product offer is accessed, the system quickly checks against pre-configured validation rules rather than performing complex real-time analysis, ensuring offer accuracy while maintaining fast processing speed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements parameter-based validation where acquisition IDs contain encoded parameters about product offers, customer eligibility, and offer conditions. The system validates offers by checking and comparing these parameters against current state data, enabling fast validation through parameter matching rather than complex analysis, thus maintaining both accuracy and speed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for automatically generating acquisition IDs and using them to track and record how products are identified, offered, and sold, as well as how customers respond to particular variations of product offers. The acquisition ID can be associated with any product sale, transaction completion, or account creation initiated using or otherwise identifying or associated with the acquisition ID, where the connection to the acquisition ID can be maintained and retained with ongoing records associated with the interaction and created account, transaction, and/or product purchase. Using the stored information and the acquisition IDs, an organization can precisely determine what products were sold using which marketing tactic, campaign, or channel through which the transaction occurred and/or was initiated, among others.
