Solution Overview

Problem

Existing advertisement display systems lack efficiency in tailoring advertisement display times to the number of viewing terminals in each region, leading to suboptimal viewer engagement.

Innovation Solution

An advertisement display apparatus that acquires region information for viewing terminals, calculates the number of viewing terminals in each region, and dynamically determines the advertisement display time based on this data, ensuring that advertisements are displayed for longer in regions with more viewers and shorter in regions with fewer viewers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If advertisement display time is uniformly set for all regions, then system complexity is reduced, but viewer engagement efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidviewer engagement efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by setting different advertisement display times for different regions based on the number of viewing terminals in each region. Regions with more viewing terminals receive longer advertisement display times, while regions with fewer viewing terminals receive shorter times, optimizing viewer engagement efficiency for each local market rather than using a uniform display time across all regions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Productivity

If advertisement display time is extended for all regions, then viewer engagement is improved, but loss of time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewer engagementVSAvoidadvertisement display time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality by calculating and assigning different advertisement display times to different regions based on their specific number of viewing terminals. This ensures that regions with higher viewer density receive extended display times to improve engagement, while regions with lower viewer density receive proportionally shorter times, thereby avoiding unnecessary time loss in low-traffic regions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Productivity

If region-specific advertisement display times are implemented, then viewer engagement efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewer engagement efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting the advertisement display time parameter based on the number of viewing terminals in each region. The system calculates the display time as a function of viewing terminal count, allowing automated adaptation of the time parameter to regional conditions without requiring complex manual configuration for each region.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms by using the number of viewing terminals in each region as input data to determine the appropriate advertisement display time. This feedback loop allows the system to automatically optimize display times based on actual regional viewer presence, improving engagement efficiency while keeping the control logic relatively simple and data-driven.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

An advertisement display apparatus, a method, and a non-transitory computer readable medium capable of calculating a display time for efficiently displaying an advertisement to a viewer are provided. An advertisement display apparatus according to the present disclosure includes an acquisition unit and a calculation unit. The acquisition unit acquires information about a region where a viewing terminal is located. The calculation unit calculates, for each region where a viewing terminal is located, the number of viewing terminals in that region based on information about that region, and calculate, for each region, a display time of an advertisement in that region based on the number of viewing terminals in that region.
