Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional systems for inserting advertising content into digital audio and video content are inefficient, often manual, non-user-targeted, and not easily adaptable for different content management systems or providers, limiting advertising efficacy and flexibility.

Innovation Solution

A system comprising a processor and memory that determines compatibility between advertising and digital content, identifies suitable insertion zones, and combines selected advertising and digital content by inserting the advertising content into specified zones, with the option to split and stitch content for seamless integration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual insertion of advertising content is used, then flexibility and control over placement is improved, but time consumption and efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveflexibility and control over placementVSAvoidtime consumption and efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically analyzing digital content to identify advertising zones and pre-determining compatibility between advertising content and digital content before actual insertion. This automation of preparatory work maintains flexibility while significantly reducing time consumption associated with manual analysis and selection processes.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically determining compatibility, identifying advertising zones, and selecting appropriate advertising content without requiring manual intervention. The system serves itself by performing analysis, selection, and coordination tasks that would otherwise require human operators, thereby maintaining operational flexibility while dramatically improving efficiency.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If automated insertion of advertising content is used, then productivity and efficiency are improved, but user-targeting and context relevance deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

ImproveefficiencyVSAvoiduser-targeting and context relevance

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms by analyzing compatibility between advertising content and digital content, and by identifying advertising zones based on content characteristics. This feedback loop ensures that automated selection processes consider context relevance and user-targeting criteria, maintaining measurement precision while achieving high productivity through automation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies parameter changes by adjusting selection criteria and compatibility thresholds to optimize both efficiency and relevance. By dynamically modifying parameters such as compatibility thresholds, targeting criteria, and zone identification parameters, the system maintains high user-targeting accuracy while achieving automated processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If player-specific advertising systems are used, then integration with specific content players is improved, but adaptability to different content management systems and providers deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveintegration with content playersVSAvoidadaptability to different content management systems

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system achieves universality by designing a multi-functional platform that can integrate with various content players, content management systems, and providers through standardized compatibility determination and advertising zone identification mechanisms. This universal approach maintains reliable integration with specific players while simultaneously adapting to different content management ecosystems.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses an intermediary layer of compatibility determination and zone identification that mediates between advertising content and different content management systems. This intermediary mechanism translates between different system-specific requirements and a universal advertising insertion framework, enabling adaptability across multiple platforms while maintaining reliable integration.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Techniques for inserting advertising content into digital content are disclosed. The system may determine a compatibility between advertising content and digital content, determine candidate advertising content and candidate digital content using the determined compatibility, determine that the candidate digital content includes an advertising zone specifying an area where advertising content may be inserted, determine that an advertising slot of the candidate advertising content matches the advertising zone, and select digital content from the candidate digital content. The system may further select advertising content from the candidate advertising content, and combine selected digital content and selected advertising content by inserting the selected advertising content into the advertising zone.
