Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems for online advertising lack an efficient method to integrate multiple pools of impression opportunities from various advertising exchanges for advertisers, leading to fragmented bidding processes and inefficient ad campaign management.

Innovation Solution

A demand side platform (DSP) is introduced, which provides a unified interface for advertisers to access and bid on impression opportunities across multiple exchanges, normalizing data and dynamically updating bidding rules based on market dynamics and campaign goals.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If advertisers access multiple advertising exchanges separately, then they can participate in diverse impression opportunities, but the bidding process becomes fragmented and management becomes inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess to diverse impression opportunitiesVSAvoidbidding process management
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple advertising exchange interfaces into a single unified demand-side platform interface. This allows advertisers to access diverse impression opportunities from multiple exchanges through one consolidated system, eliminating the need to separately manage multiple exchanges while maintaining access to diverse advertising inventory.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The demand-side platform is designed as a universal system that can interface with multiple different advertising exchanges simultaneously. It provides multi-functional capabilities including data normalization across exchanges, unified bidding management, and centralized campaign control, allowing a single platform to perform the functions of multiple separate exchange interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Quantity of substance

If data from multiple exchanges is integrated, then comprehensive impression opportunities are available, but data normalization and processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimpression opportunities availableVSAvoiddata normalization process
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a data normalization layer as an intermediary between multiple advertising exchanges and the bidding system. This normalization layer standardizes data from different exchanges into a common format, simplifying processing while maintaining access to comprehensive impression opportunities from all connected exchanges.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If bidding rules are dynamically updated based on market dynamics, then campaign performance is optimized, but system complexity and computational requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecampaign performanceVSAvoidbidding rule management system
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic bidding rules that automatically adjust based on real-time market dynamics and campaign performance data. The system continuously monitors market conditions and modifies bidding strategies accordingly, enabling optimized campaign performance through adaptive, real-time rule adjustments rather than static pre-configured rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that monitor bidding outcomes and market dynamics, then use this information to automatically adjust bidding rules. This closed-loop feedback system optimizes campaign performance by continuously learning from market responses and refining bidding strategies based on actual performance data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The present disclosure is directed to methods for identifying a user by a demand side platform (DSP) across advertiser exchanges. The method includes establishing, by a DSP, a cookie mapping for a user. The cookie mapping includes a mapping of user identifiers for the user from advertisement exchanges to a user identifier assigned by the DSP for the user. The DSP stores to the cookie mapping a first mapping to the user identifier of the DSP, comprising a first user id received by a bidder from a first exchange and a first exchange id for the first exchange. A bidder inserts a pixel into a bid for an impression opportunity to a second exchange. The pixel includes a key to the cookie mapping and a second user id for the user and a second exchange id. The second user id is received by the bidder from a second exchange.
