Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods lack an efficient way to provide and monetize advertisements during digital broadcasts, particularly in interactive IPTV services, where advertisers struggle to effectively reach viewers and service providers face challenges in obtaining commissions.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method and system that receives bid requests for advertisement content associated with digital broadcasts, determines an exposure ranking using quality information, and provides and exposes advertisements based on this ranking within designated regions during playback, utilizing accounting methods like CPC and CPM to manage ad placement and revenue.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If advertisement content is displayed during digital broadcast, then advertising effectiveness is improved, but system complexity increases due to bid management and exposure ranking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertising effectivenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary system that acts as a mediator between advertisers and digital broadcast content. This intermediary manages bid requests, determines exposure rankings, and handles accounting methods, thereby resolving the technical contradiction by centralizing complex management functions in a dedicated component rather than distributing complexity throughout the entire system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the advertisement delivery system into distinct functional components: bid request reception, exposure ranking determination, and accounting method application. This segmentation allows each component to handle specific tasks independently, improving advertising effectiveness while managing system complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple accounting methods are used for advertisement content, then revenue management flexibility is improved, but operational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverevenue management flexibilityVSAvoidoperational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by implementing multiple accounting methods (such as CPM, CPC, CPA) that can be selected and applied based on different advertising scenarios. Each accounting method represents a different parameter configuration for revenue management, allowing flexible adaptation to various business needs while the system automatically handles the operational complexity of switching between methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Manufacturing precision

If advertisement content is arranged by exposure ranking, then ad placement quality is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvead placement qualityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-calculating and storing exposure rankings for advertisement content based on quality information and accounting methods. This allows the system to have ad placement decisions ready in advance, improving ad placement quality while minimizing processing time during actual broadcast delivery, as the ranking determination has already been performed prior to the broadcasting event.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
