Solution Overview

Problem

Existing content publishing platforms face inefficiencies in managing and publishing content across multiple locations, particularly for entities with multiple locations, as users must manually handle various files, leading to error-prone and inefficient processes for large volumes of content.

Innovation Solution

A multi-page ad publishing platform that allows for dynamic customization of ads across multiple social media pages, using template-based approaches to automatically substitute location-specific variables, enabling per-location ad management, targeting, and budgeting, while maintaining a consistent look and feel across locations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual file handling is used for content publishing across multiple locations, then flexibility in content customization is maintained, but efficiency and error rate deteriorate when managing large volumes of content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent publishing efficiencyVSAvoiderror rate
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service content publishing by automatically generating location-specific content through template variable substitution. The platform autonomously handles content customization across multiple locations without requiring manual intervention for each location, thereby improving efficiency while maintaining reliability through systematic automated processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters by dynamically substituting location-specific variables (such as location names, addresses, contact information) within content templates. This parameter substitution approach allows efficient generation of customized content for multiple locations from a single template, significantly improving productivity while reducing manual errors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If automated template-based customization is implemented, then productivity and consistency improve, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent publishing speedVSAvoidplatform complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments content into templates and location-specific variables, separating the static content structure from dynamic location data. This segmentation allows the platform to efficiently generate customized content for multiple locations by simply substituting variables, improving productivity while keeping the system manageable through clear separation of concerns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The template-based system provides universality by using a single template structure that can serve multiple locations with different variables. This multi-functional approach allows the same template to generate location-specific content across numerous locations, significantly improving productivity without proportionally increasing system complexity.

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If per-location customization is implemented, then adaptability to local markets improves, but time and resources required for content creation increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelocation-specific content adaptationVSAvoidcontent creation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-defining content templates with placeholder variables for location-specific information. This advance preparation allows rapid generation of customized content for multiple locations without requiring time-consuming manual creation for each location, thus improving adaptability while reducing time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses copying by replicating the template structure across multiple locations and substituting location-specific variables. This copying approach enables consistent adaptation to local markets across numerous locations while significantly reducing the time and resources required compared to creating unique content for each location from scratch.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

Dynamic object customization is disclosed. A template associated with content to be published on behalf of one or more entities is obtained. The template includes at least one variable. For each entity in the one or more entities, a data store including information pertaining to the entity is queried based at least in part on the at least one variable included in the template. In response to the query, one or more data values corresponding to the at least one variable are obtained. An object is generated based at least in part on the template. The at least one variable is populated using the obtained one or more data values. The generated object is provided as output to be published on behalf of the entity.
