Problem

Existing advertisement generation methods lack empirical basis for predicting the effectiveness of ad copies and other media object advertisements, requiring substantial manual effort without validation.

Innovation Solution

A computing device receives algorithmic expressions for generating advertisements, analyzes them using models of advertisement effectiveness to determine optimal ads, and deploys them to gather user reaction metrics for validation and future improvement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If manual generation of ad copy is used, then creativity and customization are improved, but time consumption and lack of empirical validation increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvead copy generationVSAvoidtime for copywriting
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically generating ad copy variations through algorithmic expressions without requiring manual copywriting for each advertisement. The computational system generates multiple ad copy variants based on predefined algorithms and automatically evaluates them, eliminating the need for continuous manual creative work while maintaining customization through parameter variations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies parameter changes by modifying key elements of ad copy such as headlines, descriptions, and calls-to-action through algorithmic variations. By changing parameters like wording, formatting, and structural elements systematically, the system generates diverse ad copy versions that can be tested and optimized without starting from scratch each time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If manual generation of ad copy is used, then flexibility in customization is improved, but lack of empirical validation and effectiveness prediction increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvead copy customizationVSAvoideffectiveness prediction
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by deploying generated ad copies to real users and collecting performance data such as click-through rates, conversions, and user interactions. This empirical feedback is then fed back into the system to validate effectiveness predictions and refine the algorithmic expressions, creating a continuous improvement loop that enhances both reliability and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by generating multiple ad copy variations and evaluating their predicted effectiveness before actual deployment. Through pre-testing and simulation using the effectiveness prediction models, the system identifies the most promising ad copies in advance, reducing the risk of poor performance when deployed to real users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If algorithmic generation of advertisements is used, then productivity and empirical validation are improved, but device complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertisement generation speedVSAvoidalgorithmic system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies segmentation by dividing the complex advertisement generation process into distinct modular components: algorithmic expression generation, effectiveness prediction modeling, A/B testing framework, and performance analysis modules. Each component handles a specific aspect of the process independently, making the overall complex system manageable, maintainable, and scalable while preserving high productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Measurement precision

If A/B testing is conducted to validate ad effectiveness, then measurement precision is improved, but time and resource consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness measurementVSAvoidtesting duration
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial action by conducting A/B tests on only the most critical and uncertain aspects of ad copy variations rather than testing every possible parameter combination. By focusing testing resources on the most impactful elements identified through preliminary algorithmic analysis, the system achieves sufficient measurement precision for decision-making while significantly reducing the time and resources required compared to comprehensive testing of all variables.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
