Solution Overview

Problem

Current online directed information delivery systems rely on third-party analysis and hosting, which can compromise data security and limit the ability to customize and measure interactivity effectively, leading to suboptimal relevance and engagement with users and devices.

Innovation Solution

A decision system for online directed information delivery that uses a three-dimensional logistic regression model to predict interactivity and a second-price auction mechanism to optimize the selection and delivery of directed information, allowing for real-time updates and inventory adjustments without external intervention, thereby enhancing relevance and user engagement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If third-party hosting and analysis is used for directed information, then system complexity is reduced, but data security and customization capability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the directed information selection and delivery functionality from third-party systems and integrates it directly into the organization's own decision platform. This allows the organization to maintain control over data security while managing the complexity through a dedicated in-house system rather than relying on external third parties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Ease of manufacture

If third-party hosting is used for directed information, then implementation ease is improved, but interactivity measurement capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements comprehensive feedback mechanisms that track multiple forms of user interaction with directed information, including clicks, views, and other engagement metrics. This feedback loop enables precise measurement of interactivity and allows the system to optimize future information delivery based on measured user responses, thereby improving measurement precision while maintaining implementation feasibility.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs preliminary actions by pre-processing and analyzing user data, device information, and directed information content before delivery. The system performs preliminary scoring and ranking of directed information based on predicted user interest and relevance, ensuring that only the most appropriate information is selected for delivery. This preliminary analysis significantly improves relevance and engagement accuracy while maintaining reasonable system simplicity through automated preprocessing steps.

AI summary

A decision platform can be a computer-implemented platform for predicting and increasing the likelihood that directed information is relevant to a user or device. The decision platform can have capabilities for predicting rates of interactivity with the directed information updating models, and reacting to directed information inventory changes in real-time without human intervention. The decision platform can use a three-dimensional logistic regression model to predict interactivity based in part on a user interactivity rate, a directed information interactivity rate, and a placement interactivity rate.
