Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for generating electronic communications are not flexible enough to adapt to changing market realities and consumer preferences, leading to ineffective marketing and reduced promotion sales, as they often fail to target consumers with relevant promotions in a timely manner.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that utilize content generators to select and assign content to slots within electronic communications based on selection parameters, bids, and analytic data, ensuring that content is dynamically generated and targeted to maximize engagement and revenue, with the ability to update and configure content generators based on feedback.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If current methods for generating electronic communications are used, then the system is simple and easy to operate, but the system lacks flexibility to adapt to changing market realities and consumer preferences
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic content generation by allowing the system to adaptively select and generate content based on real-time market conditions and consumer preferences. The electronic communication generation process transitions from static to dynamic, where content slots are filled based on current relevance rather than predetermined templates, enabling the system to respond flexibly to changing conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs self-service mechanisms where the electronic communication generation system automatically adapts to market realities and consumer preferences without requiring manual reconfiguration. The system autonomously selects relevant content, generates appropriate communications, and optimizes delivery timing based on real-time data, reducing the need for human intervention while maintaining high adaptability.
2Loss of time
If current methods for generating electronic communications are used, then the system is simple to operate, but the system fails to target consumers with relevant promotions in a timely manner
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring content slots and pre-processing market data and consumer preference information before actual communication generation. This allows the system to quickly assemble relevant promotions when the time is right, reducing delays while maintaining operational simplicity through advance preparation of communication components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical processes with automated electronic systems that can rapidly process market data and consumer information. The system uses automated algorithms and electronic data processing to identify and deliver relevant promotions in real-time, substituting slow manual operations with fast electronic automation while keeping the interface simple for users.
3Productivity
If current methods for generating electronic communications are used, then the system requires minimal resources, but the system produces ineffective marketing and reduced promotion sales
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by generating customized content for specific content slots based on local market conditions and individual consumer preferences rather than using uniform generic content. Each content slot is filled with locally optimized content that is most relevant to the specific audience segment, improving marketing effectiveness by targeting specific local needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach that consumes fewer resources.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by dynamically adjusting content selection criteria, communication timing, and delivery parameters based on real-time market data and consumer behavior patterns. The system changes key parameters such as content relevance thresholds, optimal send times, and target audience segments to maximize marketing effectiveness while managing computational resources efficiently through adaptive parameter tuning rather than exhaustive processing.

AI summary
A method, apparatus, and computer program product are disclosed to improve generation of electronic communications. The method may include providing a plurality of content slots each configured to receive content. The method may also include maintaining a database comprising a plurality of content generators, and determining, using a processor, one of the plurality of content generators for providing content to each of the plurality of content slots. The determining the one of the plurality of promotion content generators or non-promotion content generators may include providing a first content generator of the plurality of content generators with a set of selection parameters, and receiving a first bid for one of the plurality of content slots from the first content generator. The first content generator may determine the bid based at least in part on the set of selection parameters. The method may also include assigning the first content generator to the one of the plurality of content slots based on the bid.
