Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If manual processes are used to create and manage personalized digital content, then content can be customized for each customer, but costs increase and innovation slows

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidcost efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service personalization by automatically generating personalized content experiences without requiring manual intervention. The AI/ML system autonomously processes customer data, selects appropriate content assets, and assembles personalized experiences, eliminating the need for large digital marketing teams to manually create and manage personalized content for each customer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical processes with automated AI/ML systems. Instead of human marketers manually creating and managing personalized content, the system uses machine learning models to automatically process customer data, perform content selection, and generate personalized experiences, thereby reducing costs while maintaining personalization capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If manual processes are used to manage digital content, then content can be customized, but the process becomes slow and innovation is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent customizationVSAvoidinnovation speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automated content selection and assembly without manual intervention, enabling rapid generation of personalized content experiences. The AI/ML system continuously processes customer data and updates content recommendations in real-time, accelerating innovation speed while maintaining content customization capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-processes and organizes content assets into semantic clusters beforehand, creating a structured content library that enables rapid content selection during runtime. This preliminary organization of content by semantic similarity allows the system to quickly assemble personalized experiences without time-consuming manual content curation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If automated AI/ML systems are used to personalize digital channels, then productivity and speed improve, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomation efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex personalization task into distinct modular components: customer data processing, semantic feature extraction, content clustering, content selection, and experience assembly. Each module performs a specific function and can be independently developed and maintained, reducing overall system complexity while enabling high productivity through automated AI/ML processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces semantic feature vectors as an intermediary representation between raw customer data and final content selection. This intermediary layer simplifies the complexity by transforming diverse input data into a standardized semantic space, making the subsequent content selection process more manageable and efficient.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Adaptability or versatility

If large digital marketing teams are used to create personalized content, then personalization quality can be maintained, but costs increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization qualityVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces human marketers with automated AI/ML processes that perform content selection and personalization tasks autonomously. The machine learning models continuously learn from customer interactions and automatically generate personalized content experiences, maintaining high personalization quality without requiring large teams of digital marketing professionals.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the operational parameters from manual human processes to automated computational processes. By transitioning from human creativity and judgment to AI/ML algorithms, the system maintains personalization quality while dramatically reducing resource consumption in terms of human labor and associated costs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A method and system provide the ability to personalize a digital channel. Multiple content assets are obtained and include an image content asset. Each of the assets is associated with an associated set of semantic elements. The multiple content assets are clustered into content clusters based on a similarity of the semantic elements. A first content asset is selected. The clustering is used as a metric to estimate distances between the first content asset and remaining multiple content assets. The remaining multiple content assets are scored based on the distances. One of the remaining multiple content assets is selected based on the scoring and provided for a personalized component of the digital channel. In addition, a coverage map that includes both users and content may be generated based on the clusters and then utilized to select the content asset.
