Dynamic Content Map Display by Geographic Location
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for assisting users in selecting information for consumption, such as ranking based on past user ratings, fail to effectively capture quickly changing information consumption trends and can leave users with a large number of options to choose from.
Innovation Solution
A system that recognizes content consumption by users, identifies geographic locations, and ranks content based on consumption characteristics, generating a dynamic map display that reflects these rankings and trends, allowing users to personalize their information experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If content is ranked based on past user ratings and consumption quantities, then users can identify popular content, but the system fails to capture quickly changing information consumption trends and leaves users with a large number of options
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic updating of content rankings by continuously monitoring real-time consumption data and automatically adjusting the ranked list. The system transitions from static historical rankings to dynamic rankings that adapt to changing user preferences and consumption patterns, ensuring the displayed content remains relevant to current trends while maintaining measurement precision through continuous data processing.
2Loss of information
If all consumed content is displayed to users, then users have complete information, but the quantity of information options becomes overwhelming and difficult to navigate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the large volume of consumed content into organized categories and groups based on consumption characteristics, content types, and relevance metrics. By dividing the comprehensive content set into manageable segments with clear organizational structure, the system preserves complete information while making it easily navigable and simple for users to find relevant content quickly.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different display qualities and levels of detail to different segments of content based on their relevance and consumption patterns. High-priority content receives prominent display with detailed information, while less critical content is organized in condensed formats, optimizing the ease of operation for content selection while maintaining access to complete information when needed.
3Productivity
If the system processes and analyzes all consumption data in real-time, then it can capture current trends, but the device complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements partial processing by focusing computational resources on analyzing only the most relevant consumption data segments that indicate changing trends, rather than processing all consumption data equally. The system identifies and prioritizes key indicators of trend changes, processing only those critical data points in real-time while using simpler methods for historical data, thus achieving fast trend identification with reduced device complexity.
Data Source
AI summary
This disclosure relates to a method for providing a display of content consumption by geographic location. The method includes storing, in a data store, geographic locations of a set of users consuming content items and consumption characteristics of the content items, wherein the content items are identified by user devices at the geographic locations while the content items are played by source devices external to the user devices, and wherein information about a content item of the identified content items, which is consumed by a user of the set of users, is transmitted to the server system by a user device of the user. The method also includes extracting, from the data store, geographic locations of consumption and a set of consumption characteristics of each content item of the identified content items, wherein the set of consumption characteristics comprises a title and times of consumption of the content item by the set of users. The method further includes filtering the identified content items based on at least one filter that pertains to times of content consumption by the set of users, ranking the filtered content items based on the geographic locations of consumptions and consumption statistics, selecting, from the ranked content items, popular content items at particular geographic locations of consumption and over a time period, and generating a geographic map displaying to a user each of the selected popular content items at one or more of the particular geographic locations of consumption, the map to display a title and an icon to represent each of the selected popular content items.
