Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If pop-up ads are displayed on screens while users are watching videos, then advertisers can reach potential consumers, but users find them invasive and annoying, leading to blocked or ignored advertisements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertiser reachVSAvoiduser annoyance
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent converts the harmful factor of user annoyance into a beneficial feedback mechanism. By paying users to rate advertisements, the system transforms what would normally be ignored or blocked ads into valuable market research data, where users actively provide feedback about ad effectiveness and relevance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by having users rate advertisements after viewing them. This feedback loop allows advertisers to receive direct information about user perception and ad effectiveness, enabling continuous improvement of advertising strategies based on actual user responses rather than assumptions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If users are provided with financial incentive to interact with advertisements, then user engagement increases, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the system multi-functional by serving multiple purposes: it compensates users for their time and provides advertisers with valuable market data. The same user interaction process simultaneously generates feedback for ad improvement and revenue for users, creating a win-win scenario that justifies the added system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Loss of information

If advertisers receive detailed market data from user interactions, then advertising effectiveness improves, but the cost of obtaining such data increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemarket data qualityVSAvoiddata collection cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs self-service by having users voluntarily provide feedback in exchange for payment. Instead of advertisers needing to invest heavily in complex data collection and analysis systems, users perform the data gathering function themselves through their rating interactions, significantly reducing the cost of obtaining market intelligence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A computer-implemented method for monetizing advertisement views in which a processor that is located on a computer initiates the following steps. On a user electronic device, at a proprietary database, receiving one or more advertisements electronically communicated thereto from one or more advertisement sources. The advertisements are electronically communicated to a user/reader based on user/reader profile data collected by an advertisement publicist operably connected to the proprietary database. A preferred advertisement is then selected from the received one or more advertisements and viewed for a predetermined time. The user/reader provides a rating to the selected preferred advertisement after viewing for the predetermined time, and then receives a financial compensation after rating the viewed advertisement.
