Solution Overview

Problem

Existing content consumption platforms face challenges in monetizing content consumption due to advertisements disrupting the user experience, as different users respond differently to advertisements based on length, timing, and type, necessitating personalized advertisement mapping.

Innovation Solution

A dynamic content mapping system that collects user information from personal devices to identify user segments and tailor advertisement presentation, including timing, length, and frequency, using content maps to optimize advertisement engagement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If advertisements are rendered during content playback, then monetization opportunities are improved, but user experience is disrupted

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovemonetizationVSAvoiduser experience disruption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments users into different groups based on their characteristics, content consumption patterns, and ad preferences. By dividing the user base into segments, the system can apply different advertisement strategies to different groups, thereby monetizing content effectively while minimizing disruption to each user's experience according to their preferences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic advertisement mapping that adjusts ad timing, length, and type based on real-time user behavior, content context, and segment characteristics. This dynamic approach allows the system to optimize monetization while adapting to changing user preferences and content types, reducing experience disruption through contextual awareness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Device complexity

If advertisement length and timing are standardized, then system complexity is reduced, but user engagement varies significantly across different users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoiduser engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by tailoring advertisement characteristics (length, timing, type) to specific user segments and individual users rather than applying a uniform standard. Each user receives ads optimized for their specific preferences and context, maximizing engagement while the underlying segmentation framework keeps system complexity manageable through structured user grouping.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Adaptability or versatility

If personalized advertisement mapping is implemented, then user engagement is improved, but data collection requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoiddata collection
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by collecting and analyzing user data in advance to create user segments and establish preference profiles before advertisement delivery. This upfront data collection and segmentation work enables personalized ad mapping without requiring complex real-time data processing during content playback, balancing engagement personalization with manageable data requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

This disclosure relates to systems and methods for dynamically mapping content based on information relating to a user. In various embodiments, a segment associated with a user may be identified, and a content service may map the presentation of advertisements and/or other content within rendered content in a manner that is tailored to the identified segment. In this manner, advertisement and/or other content impressions may be targeted to the user based on their identified segment. Further embodiments facilitate defining and refining content maps for a particular segment until a content mapping meeting certain objective criteria is realized.
