Solution Overview

Problem

The fragmentation and unmanaged nature of video and audio advertising inventory across independent publishers on the Internet hinders advertisers' ability to access and control ad campaigns effectively, with limited targeting, frequency capping, session management, and reporting capabilities.

Innovation Solution

An advertising affiliate network is implemented to aggregate editorial content from independent publishers, dynamically generating code for integration, verifying its operation, and delivering video and audio advertising content based on templates that adjust according to metrics, ensuring end-users experience both editorial and advertising content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If independent publishers provide editorial content directly without aggregation, then content delivery is simple and direct, but advertising inventory becomes fragmented and unmanaged

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent delivery simplicityVSAvoidadvertising inventory management
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple independent publisher content sources into a unified advertising network platform. The system aggregates editorial content from various publishers while centralizing advertising inventory management, allowing advertisers to access consolidated inventory across multiple sources through a single interface with unified targeting and reporting capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The advertising network acts as an intermediary between independent publishers and advertisers. It receives editorial content from publishers, manages the advertising inventory centrally, and delivers targeted ads to advertisers' selected content, thereby simplifying access to fragmented inventory while maintaining the independence of original content sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If advertisers access fragmented advertising inventory directly from multiple publishers, then access to diverse content is possible, but control over ad campaigns is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent access diversityVSAvoidad campaign control
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The advertising network provides universal control mechanisms that work across diverse content sources. It implements standardized targeting, frequency capping, session management, and reporting functions that operate uniformly regardless of the original publisher or content type, giving advertisers consistent control across multiple inventory sources.

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

3Speed

If direct access to editorial content is allowed without playlist verification, then user access is simple and fast, but advertising content delivery cannot be ensured

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent access speedVSAvoidadvertising content delivery
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary verification by requiring playlist requests before delivering editorial content. The playlist mechanism pre-establishes the relationship between advertising content and editorial content, ensuring that ads are properly associated with the content before delivery occurs, while still enabling fast access through the pre-configured playlist structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Owners of editorial video and/or audio content that is delivered over the Internet or other networks can enroll in an advertising affiliate network. Video and/or audio advertisements, or other marketing messages, are then delivered into the video and/or audio content when the content is accessed by a user. Bypassing of the advertising content may be prevented.
