Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for generating electronic communications are not flexible enough to adjust content in response to changing market realities and consumer preferences, leading to ineffective marketing and reduced promotion sales.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that select content generators based on promotion content engagement factors, such as hover, click-through, and purchase information, to optimize content delivery in electronic communications, using a database of promotion and non-promotion content generators to determine the most effective content for each slot.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If current methods for generating electronic communications are used, then the generation process is simple, but the marketing effectiveness is reduced due to inability to adjust content dynamically

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent adaptabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically selects content generators based on real-time engagement factors and performance metrics. Content generators are not statically assigned but chosen dynamically for each electronic communication based on current market realities and consumer preferences, allowing the system to adapt content delivery without permanent structural changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses engagement factors (hover, click-through, purchase information) as feedback mechanisms to evaluate content generator performance. This feedback loop enables the system to learn from consumer interactions and continuously improve content selection, enhancing adaptability while managing complexity through data-driven decisions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If content generators are selected based on engagement factors, then marketing effectiveness is improved, but the processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemarketing effectivenessVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Content generators self-evaluate and provide engagement factor data about their own performance. The system processes this self-reported information to automatically select the most effective content generators, reducing the need for complex external evaluation mechanisms and simplifying the overall processing architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes selection parameters based on engagement factors such as hover, click-through, and purchase information. By dynamically adjusting which parameters are used for selection based on real-time performance data, the system improves marketing effectiveness without requiring permanently complex processing structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If a database of multiple content generators is maintained, then content selection flexibility is improved, but the data management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent selection flexibilityVSAvoiddata management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The database of content generators is segmented into different categories or types based on their specialization and performance characteristics. This segmentation allows the system to manage complexity by organizing content generators into manageable groups while maintaining flexibility in selecting from the diverse pool for different electronic communication contexts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
