Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In a franchise business model, individual websites struggle to effectively aggregate user profile information across multiple affiliated websites, leading to incomplete user data, competitive keyword bidding issues, and inconsistent branding, which hampers personalized content delivery and marketing efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for aggregating user profile information across affiliated websites within a business hierarchy, using a context-aware platform (CAP) to configure websites based on geographic granularity and business relationships, allowing for personalized content presentation and streamlined search engine interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If individual websites operate independently without aggregation, then each website maintains operational independence, but user profile information remains incomplete and fragmented
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple affiliated websites into a unified system through a parent website that aggregates user profile information from child websites. This combining approach allows comprehensive user data collection while maintaining individual website operational independence, resolving the contradiction between information completeness and system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a profile information manager as an intermediary component that handles user profile data aggregation, storage, and distribution across the website hierarchy. This mediator layer simplifies the complexity by providing a standardized interface for data exchange between parent and child websites, enabling information completeness without direct complex interconnections.
2Productivity
If multiple affiliated websites bid on keywords independently, then each website can optimize its own search engine presence, but unnecessary competitive keyword bidding occurs among affiliates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the parent website receives search engine data from child websites, analyzes keyword performance across the entire affiliate network, and provides coordinated bidding recommendations. This feedback loop enables marketing efficiency by preventing affiliates from bidding against each other on the same keywords, thereby reducing unnecessary energy expenditure on duplicate bidding efforts.
3Adaptability or versatility
If websites use standardized configuration, then implementation is simplified, but geographic granularity and business relationship customization is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs dynamic configuration where website parameters such as geographic granularity and business relationship settings can be adjusted based on the specific needs of each child website while maintaining overall system consistency. This dynamic approach allows customization without requiring completely separate configurations for each website, balancing adaptability with manageable complexity through a unified configuration framework.
Data Source
AI summary
A plurality of affiliated websites are configured to log user interactions. The logs comprise user identification information that allows a profile aggregation service to correlate user interactions across the affiliated websites and to generate respective user profiles. The user profiles may be used to configure the websites. A context aware platform (CAP) website may be configured to provide web services for entities in a business hierarchy. The CAP website may capable of presenting content in one of a plurality of operational modes associated with a geographical granularity of the business hierarchy. In addition, the CAP website may be configurable according to a user profile generated by a profile aggregation service.
