Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional media campaigns struggle with inefficiencies due to inaccurate demographic targeting and an inability to dynamically optimize content distribution based on real-time data, leading to suboptimal advertising placement.

Innovation Solution

A content optimization system that utilizes a processor and non-transitory storage medium to receive content characteristics and goals, segment targets based on demographic vectors, generate an allocation optimization model, present content, and re-optimize based on viewing data, allowing for dynamic and efficient content placement across various platforms.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If broad demographics are used for media planning, then media plans can be developed to reach target audiences, but the mapping to actual audiences is inaccurate and real-time optimization is not possible

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaudience targeting accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the audience universe into multiple segments based on demographic vectors, allowing for more precise targeting. Each segment can be independently optimized and measured, improving the accuracy of audience mapping while maintaining manageable system complexity through structured organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically optimizes content allocation in real-time based on viewing data and campaign progress. The allocation optimization model is continuously updated with current performance information, enabling adaptive response to actual audience behavior rather than relying on static demographic projections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Loss of information

If conventional media campaigns are used, then advertisements can be placed according to media plans, but the progress of active campaigns cannot be reliably determined

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecampaign progress dataVSAvoidreal-time optimization capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a feedback mechanism that continuously collects viewing data and campaign progress information. This feedback is fed back into the allocation optimization model, enabling real-time adjustments based on actual performance and providing reliable determination of campaign progress through measurable data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces conventional manual media planning and monitoring mechanisms with an automated computational optimization system. The allocation optimization model uses mathematical programming to dynamically determine optimal content distribution, substituting manual processes with automated data-driven decision-making.

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If content is allocated based on static demographics, then initial targeting can be established, but dynamic optimization based on real-time data is not possible

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time optimization capabilityVSAvoidcontent distribution efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from static demographic-based allocation to dynamic real-time optimization. The allocation optimization model continuously incorporates viewing data and adjusts content distribution in real-time, enabling the system to adapt to changing audience behaviors and maximize productivity as campaigns progress.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameters used for content allocation from fixed demographic characteristics to real-time viewing data and campaign performance metrics. This parameter transformation enables dynamic optimization that responds to actual audience engagement patterns, improving both adaptability and productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Systems and methods for the optimized allocation of content within a universe of inventory are described. For example, a method may include receiving content comprising at least one characteristic and at least one goal. A universe of inventory may be accessed that comprises a plurality of targets which may be assigned into a plurality of segments based on at least one demographic vector. An allocation optimization model may be generated based on the at least one content characteristic, the at least one goal and the plurality of segments. The content may be presented to the targets based on the allocation optimization model. Viewing data may be received that comprises data associated with target consumption of the content and the allocation optimization module may be re-optimized based on the viewing data. Additional factors, such as resource constraints and/or filtering rules, may be used when re-optimizing the allocation optimization module.
