Solution Overview

Problem

Business entities face challenges in creating cost-effective marketing campaigns that can draw from multiple sources of leads and adjust lead allocation in real-time, often requiring significant time and expense from consulting firms.

Innovation Solution

A system that determines the number of leads to be provided to a target business entity from various platforms, including internal and external sources, using a customer projection tool that combines internet, printed media, and external data, and adjusts lead mix based on business rules, performance data, and pricing information, implemented through computer-implemented methods and systems.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If consulting firms are used to create marketing campaigns, then marketing campaign quality and lead allocation capability are improved, but cost and time commitment increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelead allocation capabilityVSAvoidservice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables business entities to autonomously manage their own lead allocation and marketing campaigns through automated algorithms and real-time data processing, eliminating the need for external consulting firms while maintaining sophisticated lead optimization capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Manual consulting services are replaced with an automated computer system that uses algorithms, performance data, and pricing information to dynamically determine lead allocation across multiple platforms, transforming a service-based solution into a self-executing technological system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Quantity of substance

If multiple lead sources are utilized, then lead quantity and campaign versatility are improved, but system complexity and management difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelead quantityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system integrates multiple lead generation platforms (internal and external sources) into a single unified platform that handles diverse lead types through standardized processing mechanisms, allowing the system to draw from various sources without proportionally increasing complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system combines leads from multiple internal and external platforms into a unified lead pool, managing diverse sources through integrated algorithms that process all leads through common evaluation and allocation criteria, simplifying management while maximizing lead quantity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Productivity

If real-time lead allocation adjustment is implemented, then campaign effectiveness and responsiveness are improved, but computational requirements and processing complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecampaign effectivenessVSAvoidcomputational requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors performance data and pricing information from multiple platforms, using this feedback to dynamically adjust lead allocation in real-time, optimizing campaign effectiveness through iterative refinement based on actual results

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements dynamic lead allocation that automatically adjusts in real-time based on changing performance data and pricing conditions, transitioning from static to adaptive management to maximize campaign effectiveness while responding to current market conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Measurement precision

If comprehensive data integration is performed, then lead estimation accuracy and decision quality are improved, but data processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelead estimation accuracyVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-processes and integrates data from multiple platforms in advance, preparing comprehensive datasets before they are needed for lead estimation, thereby reducing real-time processing requirements while maintaining high accuracy in lead predictions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A determination is produced as to the number of leads that can be provided from a system to a target business entity, wherein the leads are generated from a plurality of platforms. The platforms may include platforms that comprise system sources for leads, i.e., sources that are internal or organic to the system, for which it is unnecessary to pay third parties for the leads. The platforms may also include platforms that comprise external sources for leads, such that the leads must be purchased from the external sources. In response to parameters related to the target business entity, an estimated number of leads per unit time is generated for a range of payments to the system by the target business entity. The number of leads to be originated from each of the respective platforms is determined by business rules preferences, which may be specified by the target business entity. Adjustments can be made in real time to the mix of platforms from which leads are generated, in response to received performance data and pricing information.
