Solution Overview

Problem

In interactive media advertising, particularly on the Internet, targeting ads to parked domains with generic top-level domains is challenging due to the lack of language preference indicators, making it difficult to determine user information needs effectively.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method and system that receives a domain name, identifies associated content, determines a language preference based on the content, and selects advertisements accordingly, utilizing cached content from previous domain associations to provide contextually relevant ads to parked domains.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If ads are targeted based on domain names with generic top-level domains, then ad distribution can be simplified, but the ability to determine user information need and language preference deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvead distribution complexityVSAvoidlanguage preference information
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of cached content associated with domain names before ad distribution to infer language preferences. By proactively examining content characteristics, metadata, and linguistic patterns in the cached data, the system establishes language preference information in advance, eliminating the need for complex real-time analysis when ads are being distributed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces cached content as an intermediary element that bridges the gap between generic domain names and user language preferences. The cached content serves as a mediator that contains linguistic information, allowing the system to infer language preferences without requiring direct user input or complex domain name analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If cached content is analyzed to determine language preference, then ad relevance improves, but processing time and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvead relevanceVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs language preference inference from cached content in advance and stores the results for quick retrieval during ad distribution. This preliminary processing eliminates the need to re-analyze cached content each time ads are distributed, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining high ad relevance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system extracts only the essential language preference information from cached content rather than performing comprehensive analysis of all content attributes. By focusing extraction on linguistic patterns, metadata, and key content characteristics, the system achieves reliable language identification with minimal processing overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A request including a domain name is received. Content associated with the domain name is identified in a cache. A language preference is determined based on the identified content. A content item is selected based on the identified content and the determined language preference. The selected content item is relevant to the identified content.
