Aerial Spherical Imagery User Interaction Data Capturing System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a lack of systems capable of capturing and tracking data related to users accessing and interacting with aerial spherical imagery, particularly for geographic information systems (GIS) applications, which limits the ability to analyze user behavior and provide targeted services or advertisements.
Innovation Solution
A data capturing system comprising a server with a processor and memory, connected to a remote computing device, that displays aerial spherical imagery and captures user interaction data such as geographic location, time, zoom level, and dwell time, storing this information in a searchable database for further analysis.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a system displays aerial spherical imagery to users through a network connection, then the imagery can be accessed and viewed by users, but no data is captured or tracked about user interactions with the imagery
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by capturing user interaction data (clicks, zoom levels, dwell time) and using it to generate targeted advertisements and content. The captured data flows back into the system to improve service delivery and user experience, creating a closed-loop information system that continuously learns from user behavior.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically capturing interaction data without requiring additional user action. The server automatically tracks zoom levels, click locations, and time spent viewing imagery, eliminating the need for manual data collection while maintaining system functionality.
2Productivity
If user interaction data is captured and stored in a database, then the data can be analyzed for targeted advertising and service improvement, but the system requires additional server resources and processing capability
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies partial action by selectively capturing only the most relevant interaction data (clicks, zoom levels, dwell time) rather than recording all possible server operations. This selective data collection provides sufficient information for targeted advertising while minimizing the processing burden on the server.
3Measurement precision
If the system captures detailed interaction data including zoom level, click location, and dwell time, then user behavior can be precisely analyzed, but the quantity of data stored and processed increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential interaction elements needed for effective user behavior analysis: click locations, zoom levels, and dwell time. By taking out only these critical data points and excluding redundant information, the system achieves precise user tracking while maintaining manageable data volumes for storage and processing.
Data Source
AI summary
A data capturing system for use with aerial spherical imagery is provided. The system allows for capturing and tracking of data with respect to those accessing and viewing particular aerial spherical imagery, such as the imagery on a GIS map. The data capturing system may include a server having a processor and a memory and a software application providing instruction to the server to display aerial spherical imagery, such as spherical imagery, to a user through a network connection, such as through the Internet. For example the system may provide the map as a website to the user that is displayed on a remote computing device accessible by the user in order to view the spherical imagery. Data related to the interaction of the user with the website is captured and tracked in order to use such data for other purposes.
