Solution Overview

Problem

Existing advertisement delivery systems face challenges in accurately delivering designated numbers of advertisements to users based on user attributes, leading to discrepancies between allocated and actual delivered content.

Innovation Solution

An advertisement delivery management apparatus that predicts user attributes of future delivery targets, allocates users based on order requests, and selects appropriate advertising information for transmission, ensuring accurate delivery according to predicted user attributes and maintaining real-time delivery properties.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If advertising information is determined based on remaining amount of advertising information, then the allocation process is simple, but the delivery accuracy to designated users deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of allocation processVSAvoiddelivery accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by predicting future delivery target users and their attributes before actual advertisement delivery occurs. User attributes are predicted in advance and stored, allowing accurate matching when order requests are received. This preliminary prediction enables both simple allocation processes and high delivery accuracy to be achieved simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If delivery target users are selected based on predicted user attributes, then delivery accuracy improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedelivery accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces predicted user attributes as an intermediary element between the advertisement order requests and the actual delivery process. These predicted attributes serve as a mediator that enables accurate matching without requiring complex real-time analysis, thus improving delivery accuracy while keeping the overall system structure manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If real-time delivery is maintained, then delivery efficiency is preserved, but allocation precision deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedelivery efficiencyVSAvoidallocation precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

By performing user attribute prediction in advance as a preliminary action, the system can maintain real-time delivery efficiency while achieving high allocation precision. The predicted attributes are ready before delivery occurs, allowing immediate and accurate matching without compromising either efficiency or precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An advertisement delivery management apparatus according to an embodiment includes an allocation unit and an advertisement delivery unit. The allocation unit selects delivery target users who have the user attribute designated by each of order requests and whose number corresponds to the number of deliveries designated by each of order requests, from a plurality of delivery target users predicted as future advertisement delivery destinations, and allocates the selected delivery target users to the order requests. The advertisement delivery unit selects the advertising information of the order request corresponding to a user attribute of a user of a user terminal on the basis of the allocation result of the allocation unit and transmits the selected advertising information to the user terminal.
