Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for optimizing ad copy in digital advertising are inefficient and unpredictable, relying on manual creation and A/B testing, which are labor-intensive, resource-intensive, and limited in scope, resulting in unreliable performance and poor return on investment.

Innovation Solution

An automated system that generates machine-generated advertisements by combining effective words and phrases from previous ads with audience motivation data, using machine-learning algorithms for high-throughput testing to identify top-performing ads across multiple ad units, enabling continuous optimization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual ad copy creation and A/B testing methods are used, then ad copy can be created and tested, but the process is labor-intensive, resource-intensive, and produces unreliable performance with poor return on investment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvead copy performance predictabilityVSAvoidad copy creation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical processes of copywriting and testing with an automated computer-based system that uses machine learning algorithms, natural language generation, and automated A/B testing platforms to generate, test, and optimize ad copy variations at scale, eliminating human labor while improving both reliability and productivity

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameters of ad copy generation by using machine learning models trained on historical performance data to predict optimal ad copy characteristics, allowing systematic exploration of parameter spaces (word choices, phrasing, structure) that would be impossible to test manually, thereby improving reliability through data-driven decisions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If A/B testing is performed on a limited number of ads manually or with software assistance, then testing can be conducted, but the scope is limited and multiple sequential tests are required instead of parallel testing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetesting scopeVSAvoidtesting duration
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the testing process into independent parallel experiments that can run simultaneously across multiple ad sets and accounts, rather than requiring sequential testing. The system divides the exploration of ad copy variations into concurrent testing campaigns, each evaluating specific hypotheses in parallel, dramatically reducing total testing time while expanding scope

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The automated testing system serves multiple functions simultaneously: it conducts A/B tests across numerous ad variations, aggregates data from multiple ad units and accounts, performs statistical analysis, and generates insights all in one unified platform, eliminating the need for separate manual testing processes and enabling comprehensive parallel testing

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

3Manufacturing precision

If tests are run in single units of an account independently, then each unit can be optimized, but the proportion of the account that can be optimized is limited and data aggregation from multiple units is difficult and time-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoptimization precisionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges data collection, analysis, and optimization across multiple ad units and accounts into a unified system. The automated platform aggregates performance data from numerous sources simultaneously, applies consistent machine learning models across all units, and produces coordinated optimization recommendations, achieving account-wide optimization precision without manual data aggregation while managing complexity through automation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A system and process provide a novel methodology to improve advertising performance by creating and testing new ad copy within advertisements more effectively and efficiently. The system includes an automated technology that produces a virtually unlimited number of predictably high-quality machine-generated advertisements, by combining and recombining the words and phrases (e.g., ad copy) that have proven to be most effective in previous advertisements with new words and phrases that are determined as likely to be effective based on the motivations of the target audience that will be viewing the advertisements. The novel technology is a combined order of specific rules that renders information into a specific format that is then used and applied to create desired results in the form of top performing ad copy and top performing machine-generated advertisements.
