Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional methods for evaluating the effect of information distribution, such as advertisements or news, on users' impressions of a subject fail to properly assess how the information changes the user's impression of the subject, relying mainly on metrics like browsing frequency rather than actual impression impact.

Innovation Solution

A provision device and method that generates and compares distributed representations of contexts before and after information distribution, using relative connections to quantify changes in user impressions, allowing for a more accurate evaluation of how distribution information affects user perceptions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional evaluation methods using browsing frequency are used, then the evaluation process is simple, but the evaluation precision of user impression change is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation precisionVSAvoidevaluation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the evaluation from simple browsing frequency counts to distributed representation vectors that capture semantic relationships between contexts. By changing the parameter from scalar frequency to vector-based contextual representation, the system achieves higher measurement precision in evaluating user impression changes while managing complexity through automated vector operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual or simple metric-based evaluation with an automated semantic analysis system using distributed representations. This substitution enables the system to automatically capture and measure changes in user impressions through vector comparisons, eliminating the need for complex manual evaluation processes while achieving superior precision.

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

2Measurement precision

If distributed representation is used to evaluate user impression changes, then the evaluation precision is improved, but the computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation precisionVSAvoidcomputational power
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-computes and stores distributed representation vectors for various contexts before they are needed for evaluation. By preparing these semantic representations in advance, the system reduces the computational power required during actual evaluation, as the heavy lifting of semantic analysis is performed beforehand rather than in real-time during impression change measurement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of information

If only browsing frequency is measured, then the data collection is simple, but the information completeness about user impression is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent adds a new dimension to the evaluation by transforming scalar browsing frequency data into multi-dimensional distributed representation vectors. This dimensional transformation captures semantic relationships and contextual information that simple frequency counts miss, significantly reducing information loss about user impressions while the automated vector processing manages the added complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

According to one aspect of an embodiment a provision device includes a generation unit that generates a distributed representation of each context on the basis of a relative connection that multiple contexts have. The provision device includes a provision unit that provides information representing a change between a distributed representation of a given context that is generated before distribution information about the given context is distributed and a distributed representation of the given context that is generated after the distribution information is distributed.
