Targeted Content Delivery Timing Based on Active Sharing State
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing content sharing applications face inefficiencies in providing supplemental content, leading to unnecessary resource consumption and potential privacy breaches when sharing private content, especially during activities like video conferencing.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that determine whether content is being shared with additional devices and adjust the timing of providing targeted content based on current time and application activity, ensuring privacy protection and resource optimization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If supplemental content is provided automatically without user request, then content delivery efficiency is improved, but resource consumption increases and privacy breaches may occur
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by detecting whether a content sharing application is active before providing supplemental content. This prevents unnecessary content delivery when the user is engaged in activities like video conferencing, thereby reducing resource consumption while maintaining efficient content delivery when appropriate.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from detecting the active state of content sharing applications to adjust content delivery behavior. By continuously monitoring whether content sharing is in progress, the system can dynamically decide whether to provide supplemental content, optimizing the balance between delivery efficiency and resource consumption.
2Productivity
If supplemental content is provided during content sharing activities, then content availability is improved, but privacy protection is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies preliminary anti-action by detecting content sharing activity before providing supplemental content. When content sharing is detected, the system prevents content delivery that could be unintentionally shared, thereby protecting user privacy while maintaining content availability during appropriate times.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses the detection of content sharing application state as an intermediary mechanism between content delivery and privacy protection. This intermediary check ensures that content is only delivered when it will not be unintentionally shared, balancing availability and privacy.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If content sharing detection is performed continuously, then privacy protection is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies self-service by utilizing the content sharing application's own state information to determine whether content should be delivered. The application itself provides the detection mechanism, eliminating the need for separate complex monitoring systems while maintaining strong privacy protection.

AI summary
A device may navigate to a website using a browser and may receive, based on navigating to the website, targeted content that is targeted based on browsing information. The device may receive, based on navigating to the website and at a particular time, a request to provide the targeted content via the browser. The device may determine whether content, on a display of the device, is being shared. The device may determine a period of time for providing a content type of the targeted content and may determine whether the particular time is included in the period of time based on determining whether the content is being shared. The device may provide the targeted content when the particular time is included in the period of time or may prevent the targeted content from being provided when the particular time is not included in the period of time.
