Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for evaluating the effectiveness of online advertisements are limited, as they often rely on post-campaign surveys and do not provide real-time data analysis, making it difficult for advertisers to adjust their strategies effectively during active campaigns.

Innovation Solution

A system that integrates various gadgets to collect and process real-time data from multiple sources, presenting the data in an integrated user interface, allowing advertisers to evaluate ad performance and campaign effectiveness in real time, with features such as ad creative sorting, private data security, and cross-gadget communication.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If post-campaign surveys are used to evaluate advertisement effectiveness, then measurement simplicity is maintained, but real-time data availability is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvead effectiveness measurementVSAvoidtime delay in data availability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system collects and stores advertisement exposure data, user behavior data, and campaign data during the ad campaign in real-time through data collectors integrated with ad serving systems. This preliminary data collection enables immediate effectiveness evaluation without waiting for post-campaign surveys, directly resolving the time delay issue while maintaining measurement precision through comprehensive real-time tracking of user interactions and conversions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If multiple data sources are integrated for comprehensive ad evaluation, then measurement completeness is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvead performance evaluation completenessVSAvoidsystem integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the complex evaluation task into separate functional modules: data collectors that gather raw data from multiple sources (ad servers, web analytics, social media), data processors that clean and normalize the data, and evaluation engines that calculate specific metrics. This segmentation allows comprehensive data integration while managing complexity through modular architecture, where each module handles a specific aspect of the evaluation process independently

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediate data processing layers including data normalization modules and integration APIs that act as mediators between diverse data sources and the evaluation engine. These intermediaries standardize data formats, handle data quality issues, and provide unified access points, thereby enabling comprehensive multi-source integration without proportionally increasing system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If real-time data collection from multiple sources is implemented, then data availability is improved, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation availabilityVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements continuous real-time data collection and processing pipelines that operate throughout the ad campaign. Data collectors continuously stream data from multiple sources through processing queues to evaluation engines, ensuring uninterrupted information availability. This continuous operation eliminates batch processing delays and provides up-to-the-minute ad effectiveness metrics, maintaining high information availability while managing processing complexity through streamlined continuous data flow architecture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
