Solution Overview

Problem

Current analytics tools for advertising campaigns are limited in their ability to efficiently analyze and understand the performance of cross-platform campaigns due to the vast volume and varied formats of campaign data, leading to inefficiencies and revenue losses for businesses.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for normalizing campaign data from multiple advertising platforms by mapping data dimensions to a marketing data model, normalizing data values, and optimizing the dataset for faster manipulation, allowing for unified and efficient analysis across different platforms.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If campaign data is collected from multiple advertising platforms independently, then the volume of data increases providing more comprehensive campaign information, but the complexity of analyzing and managing this data increases making it almost impossible to analyze using existing tools

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevolume of campaign dataVSAvoidcomplexity of data analysis
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges data from multiple advertising platforms into a unified data structure. The system consolidates campaign data from different sources (social media, display networks, search engines) into a single normalized format with unified schemas, allowing comprehensive analysis without the complexity of handling multiple separate data systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal data model that can handle various types of campaign data from different platforms through a single interface. The unified schema and normalization layer provide multi-functional capability to process impressions, clicks, conversions, and other metrics across all advertising channels using the same analytical tools.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If campaign data is gathered in many different forms and formats from different companies, then the data represents diverse platform-specific metrics, but the difficulty of normalizing and comparing data across platforms increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety of data formatsVSAvoiddifficulty of data normalization
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by transforming diverse data formats into a unified schema. The system changes the structural parameters of data from various platforms (different field names, data types, formats) into standardized parameters through normalization processes, making comparison and analysis feasible across platforms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary normalization layer between raw platform data and analytical tools. This intermediary layer acts as a mediator that translates diverse platform-specific formats into a common unified format, enabling seamless comparison and analysis without requiring changes to the original data sources or analytical tools.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If traditional analytics tools are used to analyze large volumes of cross-platform campaign data, then the analysis process becomes extremely time-consuming and inefficient, but switching to new specialized tools would require significant implementation complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency of campaign analysisVSAvoidcomplexity of analysis system
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-normalizing and structuring campaign data from multiple platforms before analysis. The system prepares the data in advance by applying unified schemas and normalization rules, so that when analysis is performed, the data is already in the optimal format, significantly improving efficiency without requiring complex analysis tools.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A system and method for normalizing campaign data gathered from a plurality of advertising platforms. The method comprises receiving campaign data related to at least one campaign gathered from a plurality of advertising platforms; mapping data dimensions in the received campaign data to a marketing data model to produce a dataset that is organized and functions as the marketing data model; normalizing data values in the dataset according to a unified notation defined for each of the data dimensions in the marketing data model; and optimizing the normalized dataset to allow faster manipulation of data.
