Solution Overview

Problem

Existing advertisement placement methods fail to consider individual user preferences, leading to suboptimal recommendation homogeneity and reduced economic benefits for providers.

Innovation Solution

An advertisement display method that constructs a personal knowledge graph on the terminal side using user data to enhance advertisement selection, incorporating a re-ranking model for personalized content recommendation, ensuring user privacy is protected.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If advertisement placement uses group profiling based on service data, then advertisement coverage can be achieved, but individual user preferences are not considered leading to recommendation homogeneity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindividual user preference adaptationVSAvoiduser privacy information
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the advertisement recommendation process into two parts: group-level profiling done by the server and individual-level re-ranking done by the terminal. This segmentation allows individual preferences to be considered while keeping sensitive personal data processing localized, thus resolving the contradiction between adaptability and privacy protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a personal knowledge graph as an intermediary data structure that stores user preferences locally on the terminal. This intermediary enables individualized recommendation without requiring raw personal data to be transmitted to the server, thus achieving both adaptability and privacy protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If terminal side processes user data for personalization, then advertisement placement accuracy improves, but user privacy security may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertisement placement accuracyVSAvoiduser privacy security
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by enabling the terminal to autonomously perform re-ranking of advertisements using locally stored user preference data. This eliminates the need to transmit sensitive personal information to the server while still achieving personalized recommendation, thus improving both accuracy and privacy security simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If server screens advertisements based on group profiling, then advertisement delivery efficiency is maintained, but recommendation homogeneity reduces economic benefits

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertisement delivery efficiencyVSAvoidindividual user characteristics
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-building personal knowledge graphs on terminals that capture individual user characteristics. This preliminary local processing preserves individual traits without requiring real-time server analysis, thus maintaining delivery efficiency while preventing recommendation homogeneity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
