Solution Overview

Problem

Content providers face challenges in analyzing data from multiple sources due to different data formats and difficulty in assessing relationships across various distribution and consumption channels, leading to inefficiencies in processing resources and time.

Innovation Solution

A data aggregation and analytics system that receives and aggregates data from multiple sources, performs analysis, and automatically generates recommendations for actions based on the analyzed data, enabling consolidated analysis across channels and reducing manual processing needs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If data from multiple sources with different formats is aggregated and analyzed manually, then comprehensive analysis can be achieved, but processing time and resource consumption increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata analysis comprehensivenessVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an automated data aggregation system that acts as an intermediary between multiple data sources and the analysis process. This system automatically collects, standardizes, and integrates data from various platforms (social media, content management systems, analytics tools) without requiring manual intervention, thereby maintaining comprehensive analysis while dramatically reducing processing time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical data processing with automated computational systems. Machine learning algorithms and automated scripts substitute human analysts in collecting, cleaning, and integrating data from multiple sources, enabling the system to handle large volumes of multi-format data efficiently and at scale

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If data from multiple platforms with different file types is processed, then more comprehensive insights can be obtained, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata source coverageVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal data aggregation framework that can handle multiple file types and platforms through a single standardized interface. The system uses common data schemas and normalization techniques to process diverse data sources (JSON, XML, CSV, database outputs) uniformly, eliminating the need for separate processing pipelines for each data type and reducing overall system complexity

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms diverse data parameters into a standardized format through automated parameter mapping and normalization. The system dynamically adjusts data structures, file formats, and measurement units to fit a unified schema, enabling consistent analysis across different platforms while maintaining the original data's informational content

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If automated data aggregation is implemented, then processing efficiency improves, but initial system setup complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing efficiencyVSAvoidsystem setup complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary configuration of data aggregation pipelines during system setup, including pre-defined data sources, standardized schemas, and automated validation rules. This upfront preparation establishes the automated processing framework that will handle future data aggregation efficiently without requiring complex ad-hoc configurations for each new data source

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A system may receive, from multiple data providers or multiple platforms, data associated with content, a content provider that provides the content, and multiple channels via which the content is provided or consumed. The data may include first data, received from a first data provider or a first platform, that is associated with a different file type than second data received from a second data provider or a second platform. The system may include a data model associated with the first data and the second data. The system may aggregate the data from the multiple data providers or the multiple platforms. The system may identify a relationship between the first data and the second data. The first data and the second data may be different types of data. The system may perform an action based on the relationship between the first data and the second data.
