Solution Overview

Problem

Content providers face challenges in running content campaigns at scale on online systems, as current solutions only enable the presentation of pre-assembled content items without providing feedback on the performance of individual components, making it difficult to understand which components do not meet objectives or target audiences.

Innovation Solution

An online system employs a dynamic creative optimization module with a preview module to display pseudo-assembled content items, allowing content providers to interactively swap creatives and select optimal combinations for each user based on their information, using an asset rule engine and machine learning models to dynamically assemble content items that are tailored to specific audiences.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If pre-assembled content items are presented to users, then content delivery is simplified, but feedback on individual component performance is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent delivery simplicityVSAvoidcomponent performance feedback
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The content item is segmented into multiple independent creatives (images, videos, text bodies, titles, descriptions, URLs, captions). Each creative can be independently selected, tested, and optimized. The system tracks performance metrics for each individual creative rather than treating the entire content item as a single unit, enabling granular feedback on component effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes parameters by selecting different combinations of creatives based on user characteristics, historical performance data, and campaign objectives. Machine learning models adjust which creatives are assembled together for different users, allowing continuous optimization of content performance while maintaining simplified delivery through automated parameter adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If content providers manually create and test each content item combination, then component performance can be analyzed, but time and resource consumption increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomponent performance analysisVSAvoidcontent creation and testing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Content providers pre-upload multiple creatives (images, videos, text) to the system before campaigns begin. The system stores these creatives and automatically assembles them into content items during campaign execution based on real-time user data and performance metrics, eliminating the need for manual content creation and testing for each user interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically performs content assembly, selection, and optimization without requiring manual intervention for each content delivery. Machine learning models autonomously analyze performance data, predict which creatives will perform best for specific users, and assemble appropriate content combinations, freeing content providers from time-consuming manual testing while maintaining precise component-level measurement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If generic content items are used for all users, then production efficiency is high, but user engagement and targeting effectiveness decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent production efficiencyVSAvoiduser-specific content optimization
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by tailoring specific creatives to match individual user characteristics, preferences, and behaviors. Different users receive different combinations of creatives selected based on their profiles, while the overall content structure and delivery mechanism remains standardized and efficient. This allows high-volume automated delivery with personalized content optimization for each user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

An online system receives a set of creatives provided by a content provider, and presents one or more pseudo-assembled content items composed of the different combinations of the received creatives on a user interface to the content provider. A pseudo-assembled content item includes one or more creatives to be included in a final content item that are placed in their positions in the display interface, but the content item has not yet undergone assembly or creation. The positions of the creatives are defined by one or more placement rules provided by the content provider. The content provider can interact with the user interface to swap different creatives into the content item. The content provider can visually preview different content item candidates assembled from different permutations of creatives from the set of creatives of the content item before creating the final content item.
