Solution Overview

Problem

Existing marketing strategies lack the ability to dynamically adjust advertisements in real-time based on user-generated comments during media consumption, failing to provide personalized and effective targeting.

Innovation Solution

A system that transmits media programming with an overlay, receives user comments, analyzes them to determine marketing parameters, and adjusts advertisements accordingly, allowing for real-time, personalized advertising based on user feedback.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional marketing strategies use static advertisement selection based on time of day or expected viewers, then advertising delivery is simple and fast, but the advertising effectiveness and user targeting precision deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser targeting precisionVSAvoidadvertising system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms static advertisement selection into a dynamic system that adapts in real-time based on user comments. The advertisement selection changes from fixed time-based scheduling to flexible content-based selection that responds to user feedback, improving targeting precision while managing complexity through automated analysis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback loops where user comments are continuously collected, analyzed, and used to adjust advertisement selection. This creates a closed-loop system that learns from user responses and improves targeting accuracy over time, resolving the contradiction between precision and complexity through intelligent automation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Loss of information

If marketing personnel use surveys and demographic data to understand audience, then user understanding is obtained, but real-time advertising adjustment capability is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time user feedback informationVSAvoidtime for data collection and analysis
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by collecting and analyzing user comments in real-time as they occur during media consumption. This eliminates the time delay inherent in traditional survey methods, capturing fresh user reactions immediately rather than relying on pre-collected demographic data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual survey collection and demographic analysis with automated computer-based analysis of user comments. This substitution eliminates the time-consuming manual processes and enables real-time processing of user feedback, preventing information loss while reducing time delays

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

3Productivity

If advertisements are selected based on prime time or expected number of viewers, then advertising delivery is efficient, but personalized and effective targeting deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertising delivery efficiencyVSAvoidadvertising personalization capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by tailoring advertisements to specific user groups based on their actual comments rather than applying uniform time-based advertising. Each user receives personalized content based on their specific feedback, maintaining efficiency through automated segmentation while achieving high adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the selection parameters from time-based metrics (prime time, viewer count) to content-based metrics (user comment analysis, sentiment, topics). This parameter transformation enables both efficient automated delivery and high personalization, resolving the contradiction between productivity and adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
