Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional methods for optimizing the selection of styles for digital contents, such as advertisements, rely on Exploration-Exploitation, click-through-rate, or conversion rate-based prediction models, which fail to utilize user and content features effectively, leading to poor generalization and inability to quantify the incremental impact of styles on user behavior.

Innovation Solution

A method for content delivery that involves receiving a request to deliver a target content to a target object, determining observed samples based on target features, calculating an effect metric for each content delivery strategy, and selecting the optimal strategy based on these metrics to refine and personalize content delivery.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If Exploration-Exploitation or click-through-rate based prediction models are used for optimizing content styles, then the implementation is simple, but the generalization performance is poor and user features are not utilized effectively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation simplicityVSAvoidgeneralization performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the optimization approach from simple prediction models to a structured framework that incorporates multiple parameters including user features, content features, and contextual information. The effect metric calculation changes the evaluation parameters from basic click-through rates to comprehensive metrics that capture incremental impact, thereby improving generalization performance while maintaining implementation feasibility through systematic parameter organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Device complexity

If conventional prediction models are used, then the system complexity is low, but the ability to quantify incremental impact of styles on user behavior is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidimpact quantification capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an effect metric as an intermediary that bridges the gap between simple prediction models and comprehensive impact analysis. This intermediary component processes user features, content features, and contextual information to produce a quantified measure of incremental impact, thereby enhancing measurement precision without requiring complete system redesign.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the content delivery optimization into distinct components: user feature extraction, content feature extraction, contextual information processing, and effect metric calculation. This segmentation allows each component to be developed and optimized independently, managing system complexity while achieving precise impact quantification through the integrated effect metric.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Speed

If content delivery optimization does not utilize user and content features, then the processing speed is fast, but the personalization effectiveness is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoidpersonalization effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary extraction and processing of user features and content features before the actual content delivery decision. By pre-processing these features and organizing them into structured formats, the system maintains fast processing speed during deployment while achieving effective personalization through the comprehensive effect metric that leverages these pre-extracted features.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
