Solution Overview

Problem

Emails often fail to consider optimal sending times and may trigger spam filters or not effectively prompt desired actions from recipients due to lack of personalized content optimization.

Innovation Solution

A machine learning-based system predicts recipient behavior by analyzing email and recipient data, suggesting changes to email components and determining optimal sending times to increase the likelihood of desired actions, such as opening or responding to emails.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If email components are optimized using machine learning predictions, then email effectiveness and open rates are improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemail effectivenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses machine learning models to automatically analyze email components, predict recipient behavior, and generate optimization suggestions without requiring manual intervention. The system serves itself by continuously learning from email performance data and automatically updating its predictions and recommendations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual email optimization processes with automated machine learning-based systems. Instead of manually analyzing email components and guessing optimal send times, the system uses computational algorithms to automatically predict recipient behavior and generate optimization recommendations.

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

2Productivity

If personalized content optimization is implemented, then recipient engagement increases, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecipient engagementVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of email components and recipient data before email sending. Machine learning models pre-calculate optimization suggestions, predict open rates, and determine optimal send times in advance, so that when emails are sent, the optimization decisions are already made and ready to implement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes multiple parameters simultaneously including email subject lines, body content, send timing, and recipient segmentation. By optimizing multiple parameters together based on machine learning predictions, the system achieves higher engagement while distributing the computational workload across different optimization dimensions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If email sending is optimized for specific times, then open rates improve, but scheduling complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveopen rateVSAvoidscheduling complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses feedback from actual email performance data to continuously refine its timing predictions. Machine learning models analyze when recipients actually open emails, when they are most active, and how timing affects engagement, then use this feedback to automatically adjust and improve future send time recommendations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Techniques are described herein for predicting one or more behaviors by an email recipient and, more specifically, to machine learning techniques for predicting one or more behaviors of an email recipient, changing one or more components in the email to increase the likelihood of a behavior, and determining and/or scheduling an optimal time to send the email. Some advantages of the embodiments disclosed herein may include, without limitation, the ability to predict the behavior of the email recipient and suggest the characteristics of an email which will increase the likelihood of a positive behavior, such as a reading or responding to the email, visiting a website, calling a sales representative, or opening an email attachment.
