Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for predicting film box office trends are limited in accuracy and usefulness due to their reliance on simple models that only predict daily or weekly box office figures, lacking the ability to provide long-term forecasts and being constrained by training data limitations.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that acquire real-time dynamic factor data to incrementally update a pre-trained box office prediction model, allowing for continuous refinement and improved accuracy in predicting film box office trends over preset periods, using a combination of data acquisition, normalization, and model retraining.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a simple linear regression model or classification model is used to predict box office, then the model is easy to implement and train quickly, but the prediction accuracy is limited and cannot provide long-term forecasts

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of model implementationVSAvoidprediction accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the prediction approach by changing from static model parameters to dynamic time-series parameters. It introduces temporal dimensions (daily, weekly, monthly predictions) and updates model parameters continuously based on accumulating data, thereby improving prediction accuracy while maintaining implementation feasibility through systematic parameter evolution

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies dynamics by making the prediction model adaptive over time. Instead of using a fixed model, it continuously updates predictions based on new data arrivals, allowing the model to adapt to changing market conditions and improve accuracy for both short-term and long-term forecasts

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If daily or weekly box office prediction is made at a fixed time, then the prediction process is simple and quick, but the prediction value is limited for operational decisions and accuracy is affected by training data restrictions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction speedVSAvoidprediction usefulness for decision-making
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the prediction process into multiple time granularities (daily, weekly, monthly predictions) and multiple decision stages. This allows different prediction horizons to serve different operational needs, improving reliability for various decision-making scenarios while maintaining quick prediction capabilities through modular processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where prediction results and actual box office data are continuously compared and used to refine future predictions. This feedback loop enhances prediction reliability by learning from past performance and adjusting models accordingly, while maintaining operational efficiency through automated feedback processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
