Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies lack an efficient method to dynamically and adaptively broadcast content data to relevant geographic areas, often relying on manual selection and inefficient resource allocation, which limits the spread of information to areas of interest.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method and system that determine a broadcast area for content posts based on a stored broadcast history, using user and topic-specific data to dynamically adjust the geographic extent and shape of the broadcast, allowing content to propagate organically and efficiently across asymmetric regions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If manual selection of broadcast areas is used, then device complexity is reduced, but productivity and efficiency of content distribution deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebroadcast system complexityVSAvoidcontent distribution efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically determines broadcast areas by analyzing broadcast history data and content characteristics without requiring manual intervention. The server autonomously performs historical data retrieval, area determination, and broadcast execution, enabling the system to serve itself and eliminating the need for manual area selection while maintaining high distribution efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-processes and stores broadcast history data in an organized manner, establishing predetermined patterns of content propagation. By having historical data readily available and structured in advance, the system can quickly determine appropriate broadcast areas when new content needs distribution, eliminating the need for manual analysis while maintaining operational simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If uniform broadcast areas are used for all content, then ease of operation is improved, but adaptability to different content types and regions deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebroadcast operation simplicityVSAvoidbroadcast area adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system determines different broadcast areas based on local characteristics of historical broadcast data and content-specific factors. Each content item receives a customized broadcast area determined by analyzing where similar content has been successfully broadcast before, ensuring that the broadcast scope adapts to local audience preferences and content relevance while the overall process remains automated and simple to operate

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The broadcast area is dynamically determined based on the specific content characteristics and historical performance data. The system adjusts the broadcast scope flexibly for each content item by analyzing patterns in historical data, allowing the broadcast strategy to adapt to different content types, topics, and regional preferences while maintaining ease of operation through automation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If broadcast history analysis is implemented, then productivity and target precision are improved, but device complexity and data processing requirements worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebroadcast efficiencyVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The server acts as an intermediary that centralizes the complex data processing tasks. Instead of distributing complex analysis across multiple devices, the server consolidates the retrieval, analysis, and interpretation of broadcast history data, managing the computational complexity centrally while enabling efficient broadcast operations across the network without requiring complex processing at each client device

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system utilizes existing broadcast history data that has already been collected and stored from previous operations. By copying and analyzing this pre-existing data rather than generating new data or performing complex real-time analysis, the system achieves high broadcast efficiency while keeping data processing requirements manageable through the use of readily available historical information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

4Measurement precision

If manual intervention is required for broadcast area selection, then measurement precision and control are improved, but loss of time and automation level worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebroadcast area precisionVSAvoidbroadcast setup time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses feedback from historical broadcast data to automatically determine precise broadcast areas. By analyzing patterns from previous successful broadcasts and applying this feedback to new content, the system achieves high precision in area selection automatically, eliminating the time loss associated with manual intervention while maintaining or improving measurement precision through data-driven decisions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs automatic determination of broadcast areas by retrieving and analyzing its own historical broadcast data without external intervention. This self-service capability eliminates the time required for manual area selection while achieving precise target identification through automated analysis of broadcast patterns, content characteristics, and historical performance data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Implementations generally relate to broadcast of content data to geographic areas by devices. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method to broadcast data includes obtaining an indication at a first device to broadcast a content post, determining a broadcast area based on a stored broadcast history for one or more previous content posts related to the content post, and broadcasting the content post. The broadcast is configured such that the content post is to be received by one or more receiving devices located in the broadcast area.
