Solution Overview

Problem

Current mobile advertising methods, such as vehicles with static advertisements, lack targeting precision and effectiveness, as they cannot deliver dynamic content tailored to specific individuals based on their interests or locations.

Innovation Solution

A system integrating a database for advertising content, a database for identifying data, and a GPS, along with sensors and a processor, to detect and correlate target information with relevant advertisements, allowing for dynamic and personalized content display to specific individuals based on their location and interests.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If static advertisements are displayed on vehicles, then the advertisement can be displayed to a large audience, but the advertisement content is limited and cannot be dynamically changed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaudience reachVSAvoidad content flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from static printed advertisements to dynamic electronic displays (LED/LCD screens) on vehicles. The display system can change advertisement content in real-time based on location, time, and target audience characteristics, allowing the same vehicle to display different ads to different audiences along its route.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes multiple parameters simultaneously: the display medium (from static to electronic), the content (from fixed to variable), and the targeting criteria (from broad to specific). The processor modifies advertisement parameters based on GPS location, sensor data about surrounding vehicles, and database information about target demographics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Quantity of substance

If broad targeting is used for mobile advertisements, then more people may see the advertisement, but only a small percentage may have interest in the ad content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of viewersVSAvoidad effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by targeting specific localities and demographic segments rather than broadcasting to all viewers. Sensors identify surrounding vehicles and their characteristics (type, location, inferred owner demographics), and the system selects advertisements tailored to those specific local groups, increasing relevance and effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback loops where sensor data about surrounding vehicles and GPS location information feed into the processor, which then selects and displays appropriate advertisements. The system continuously monitors and adjusts ad content based on real-time conditions, ensuring advertisements are relevant to the current audience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If manual sign replacement is used for advertising, then the advertisement can be updated periodically, but the process is time-consuming and labor-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvead content update capabilityVSAvoidtime for sign replacement
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical process of manually attaching and detaching physical signs with an electronic display system controlled by a processor. Advertisements are updated digitally through software control, eliminating the need for physical sign replacement and reducing time and labor requirements.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides self-service advertisement updates through automated processor control based on pre-programmed criteria (location, time, target audience). The display system automatically selects and changes advertisements without requiring manual intervention, allowing businesses to update ads remotely and efficiently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A method and system for providing advertising to a moving target vehicle. Vehicle data is determined by one or more devices namely at least one sensor device and/or a global positioning system (GPS) device. At least one processor in communication with the one or more devices receives the vehicle data. The at least one processor initiates display of video data of advertising content data on a display device on a moving advertising vehicle to display the video data to the moving target vehicle in accordance with at least one display parameter that is based on the received vehicle data and initiates play of the audio data of the advertising content data by an audio device disposed within the display device in the moving advertising vehicle. The audio data played is configured to be heard as sound by the moving target vehicle, and the audio data relates to the video data.
