Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If an advertiser purchases multiple ad-spots to target different viewer segments, then the ability to reach different audience segments is improved, but the cost and number of wasted impressions increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to reach different audience segmentsVSAvoidcost and wasted impressions
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the audience within a single ad-spot based on viewer profiles and categorizes them into different subgroups. Different ad-creatives are then delivered to different subgroups within the same ad-spot, eliminating the need to purchase multiple ad-spots for different segments while reducing wasted impressions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies local quality by delivering different ad-creatives to different viewer subgroups within the same ad-spot based on their specific characteristics and preferences. This allows tailored advertising content for each subgroup while utilizing a single ad-spot, improving adaptability without increasing cost.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Ease of operation

If an advertiser is restricted to one ad creative per ad-spot, then the simplicity of ad delivery is maintained, but the effectiveness of targeting specific audience segments is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of ad deliveryVSAvoideffectiveness of targeting
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces dynamics by automatically selecting and delivering different ad-creatives to different viewer subgroups within a single ad-spot based on real-time viewer profile matching. This maintains ease of operation for the advertiser while dramatically improving targeting effectiveness through dynamic ad selection.

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprecision of audience matchingVSAvoidnumber of ad-spots and wasted impressions
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments viewers within a single ad-spot based on detailed profile analysis and delivers precise ad-creatives to each segment. This achieves high audience matching precision without requiring multiple ad-spots, thereby reducing wasted impressions and costs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of ad delivery from one ad-creative per ad-spot to multiple ad-creatives per ad-spot by utilizing viewer profile parameters. This allows precise audience matching within a single ad-spot, eliminating the need to purchase multiple ad-spots.
