Innovation Solution

A method involving dividing users into test and control groups based on pixel image rendering, generating viewing histories, and comparing survey responses to assess the effectiveness of content items.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If online surveys are conducted to measure advertising campaign effectiveness, then campaign impact can be assessed, but it becomes difficult to determine which users have viewed the advertising campaign

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecampaign impact measurementVSAvoiduser view determination
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a viewability determination system as an intermediary between the advertising campaign and survey responses. This system uses parameters such as time spent viewing, scroll depth, and user interaction to mediate the connection between ad exposure and survey data, enabling precise identification of users who actually viewed the campaign content before providing survey responses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical tracking methods with a sophisticated parameter-based detection system. Instead of relying on simple impression counts or basic survey responses, the system uses multiple viewability parameters (time, scroll position, interaction events) to dynamically determine whether a user has genuinely viewed the advertising content, thereby solving the measurement precision problem.

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

2Measurement precision

If users are divided into test and control groups based on content viewing, then campaign effectiveness can be measured, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness measurementVSAvoidgroup division system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing users into distinct test and control groups based on their viewing behavior and survey responses. The system segments users according to whether they met the viewability criteria and provided valid survey responses, allowing for targeted analysis of campaign effectiveness while managing system complexity through clear, rule-based grouping.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a dynamic group assignment system that adapts to user behavior in real-time. The viewability determination is not static but dynamically adjusts based on multiple parameters including time spent, scroll depth, and interaction patterns. This dynamic approach allows the system to accurately measure effectiveness while maintaining manageable complexity through automated, rule-based decision trees.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Measurement precision

If survey responses are matched with content viewing data, then accurate impact assessment is achieved, but data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimpact assessment accuracyVSAvoiddata processing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-determining viewability status and grouping users into test and control groups before the survey data collection process. The system pre-processes viewing parameters and assigns users to appropriate groups in advance, which streamlines the subsequent data matching process and improves overall processing efficiency while maintaining high accuracy in impact assessment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where survey responses and viewing data are continuously matched and validated. The system uses feedback from survey responses to refine viewability determinations and adjust group assignments. This iterative feedback process ensures accurate impact assessment while optimizing data processing efficiency by focusing computational resources on high-value matching operations rather than processing all data uniformly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
