Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If digital advertisers focus only on influencers with large followings, then the cost and effort of arranging meetings and photo shoots are justified, but the aggregate reach fails to cover a large fraction of the relevant audience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaggregate audience reachVSAvoideffort to arrange meetings and photo shoots
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses AI-generated images as copies of influencers instead of requiring physical presence. These synthetic representations capture the influencer's likeness and characteristics without needing actual meetings or photo shoots, enabling efficient incorporation of numerous influencers into advertising campaigns

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically matches influencers to relevant audiences and generates appropriate content without human intervention. The AI handles the entire process of selecting influencers, generating their images, and placing them in advertisements, eliminating the need for manual arrangement of meetings and photo shoots

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If AI-generated images of influencers are inserted into digital content items, then user interaction with content increases, but the aesthetic quality of the content may be degraded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction with contentVSAvoidaesthetic quality of content
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies different processing and selection criteria to different regions of the content. AI-generated influencer images are strategically placed in specific locations within the advertisement where they enhance engagement without compromising the overall aesthetic. The system adjusts the quality and placement of these images based on the local context of each content item

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts parameters such as image resolution, placement position, size, and integration method based on the specific content item and target audience. By changing these parameters, the system optimizes both user interaction and aesthetic quality for each individual advertisement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A method for increasing content interactions of users includes receiving approval data indicative of a pool of individuals for whom inclusion in a campaign of a content sponsor has been approved by the content sponsor, determining that content of the content sponsor is to be presented to a user of a client device, selecting, based on one or more user signals representing one or more online activities of the user, an individual from the pool of individuals to be included in a content item of the content sponsor, and generating a modified content item. Generating the modified content item includes identifying bounds of a replaceable region of the content item and inserting an image of the selected individual within the identified bounds of the content item. The method also includes causing the modified content item to be served to the client device for presentation to the user.
