Intermediary System for Cross-Platform Contribution Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Integrating reward programs with social media platforms is challenging due to encryption layers and variability between financial institutions and social media platforms, hindering interoperability and the tracking of contributions across multiple platforms.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising processors and memory that associates user accounts with targets, computes contributions based on event data, and disseminates these contributions to distribution systems, while also generating messages for public forums, facilitating the aggregation and promotion of contributions across multiple independent platforms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If encryption layers are used to protect underlying systems and databases, then security and data protection are improved, but interoperability and information flow between financial institutions and social media platforms deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system that acts as a mediator between financial institutions and social media platforms. This intermediary handles the encryption keys and data translation, allowing secure communication while maintaining interoperability. The intermediary receives encrypted data from one system, decrypts it, processes it, and re-encrypts it for the target system, thus resolving the contradiction between security and interoperability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If variability between different financial institutions and social media platforms is accommodated, then adaptability is improved, but system complexity and difficulty of integration deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal interface layer that can accommodate multiple financial institutions and social media platforms through standardized protocols. This universal layer abstracts the underlying variability, providing a consistent interface for contribution tracking and promotion across different platforms, thereby reducing integration complexity while maintaining broad compatibility.
3Measurement precision
If robust tracking of contributions across multiple platforms is implemented, then measurement precision is improved, but loss of information and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the system continuously monitors contribution data across platforms, verifies data integrity, and provides confirmation of accurate tracking. This feedback loop ensures measurement precision by detecting and correcting any data loss or discrepancies, maintaining accurate contribution tracking while minimizing information loss through active verification and correction processes.
Data Source
AI summary
Systems and methods configured for receiving, from a user device associated with a user, a first request to associate the user with a target and account information associated with the user; retrieving the target from a database to associate the user with the retrieved target; receiving, from an entity, event data associated with the account information; computing an amount of contribution based on the received event data; transmitting the computed amount of contribution to a distribution system configured to distribute the contribution to the associated target; updating the database by aggregating the computed amount of contribution to a stored contribution data associated with the user; retrieving pre-authenticated data of the user allowing transmission of a message to a public forum; generating the message based on the event data and the computed amount of contribution; and transmitting the message to one or more devices via the public forum.
