Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for modifying advertisement frame plans are inefficient when frames are already assigned, making it difficult to promptly create a modified plan and evaluate frame exchanges effectively.

Innovation Solution

A frame exchange evaluation system that includes a control unit to decide advertisement frame exchange targets and an acquisition unit to gather current frame information and setting information, allowing for the efficient evaluation of frame exchanges based on predicted audience ratings and other criteria.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If a method is used to fill advertisement frames in a state where any frame is not assigned yet, then it is possible to automatically generate advertisement plans, but it is difficult to use the method when advertisement frames are already assigned

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomation of advertisement frame assignmentVSAvoidapplicability to plans with pre-assigned frames
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary evaluation of frame exchange candidates by calculating predicted audience ratings before actual frame assignment. This allows the system to pre-assess multiple exchange scenarios and store evaluation results, making the system adaptable to both empty and pre-assigned frame states by leveraging pre-computed evaluation data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If manual plan modification is performed by planners based on experience, then plan customization is possible, but it takes time and increases burden on planners

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplan customization capabilityVSAvoidtime required for plan modification
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides automated feedback to planners by evaluating frame exchange candidates based on predicted audience ratings and presenting the results for review. This feedback mechanism allows planners to quickly assess multiple exchange scenarios and make informed decisions, reducing the time and burden while maintaining customization capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service plan modification by automatically generating and evaluating frame exchange candidates based on predefined criteria. The system can autonomously identify suitable exchange targets and present optimized plans, reducing reliance on manual planner intervention while preserving the ability to customize plans according to specific campaign requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
