Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If untargeted advertisements are delivered to users, then advertisers can reach a broad audience, but user experience deteriorates due to irrelevant and frustrating ads

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvead audience reachVSAvoiduser frustration
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by collecting user preference data and demographic information before ad delivery, then uses this pre-collected data to filter and select relevant advertisements. The user profile database stores preferences in advance, allowing the system to quickly match ads to users without real-time analysis, thus delivering relevant ads while maintaining broad advertiser reach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary filtering system between advertisers and users. This intermediary component includes a user profile database and ad filtering logic that mediates the interaction by selecting appropriate ads based on user preferences, thereby protecting users from irrelevant ads while still enabling advertisers to reach their target audiences effectively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Quantity of substance

If users are exposed to frequent advertisements, then advertiser revenue increases, but user engagement decreases due to ad fatigue and frustration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvead volumeVSAvoiduser engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by customizing the ad experience for each user based on their specific preferences and demographic profile. Instead of a uniform ad delivery approach, the system selectively delivers ads that match individual user interests, thereby maintaining user engagement even with frequent ad exposure. Each user receives a tailored ad mix that is relevant to their preferences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Ease of manufacture

If advertisers use broad targeting strategies, then ad delivery cost decreases, but ad effectiveness drops due to low relevance to individual users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvead delivery costVSAvoidad effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service by automatically matching ads to users based on pre-stored preference data in the user profile database. The filtering system autonomously selects relevant ads without requiring manual configuration for each campaign, reducing advertiser effort and cost while improving effectiveness. The system serves itself by continuously learning from user interactions and refining ad matching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
