Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for promoting web-based user interaction, such as pop-up windows and banners, are often intrusive or too subtle, failing to effectively generate high click-through rates due to their inability to align with user emotions and interests.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method and system that determines items of interest and associates them with emotions, matching these items with digital media clips of corresponding emotions to display during user internet browsing, optimizing engagement by aligning content with the user's emotional state and browsing behavior.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If pop-up windows are used to promote content, then user attention is drawn to the promoted content, but users perceive the method as annoying or intrusive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattention drawing effectivenessVSAvoiduser annoyance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the parameters of content presentation by associating items with emotional tags and matching them with digital media clips that evoke corresponding emotions. This transforms traditional intrusive pop-ups into emotionally resonant experiences that maintain user attention without causing annoyance through personalized emotional alignment based on browsing behavior

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

Digital media clips serve as intermediaries between the promoted content and the user. Instead of directly presenting promotional content through intrusive pop-ups, the system uses emotionally evocative media clips as a mediator to create positive associations, thereby drawing attention without causing user反感

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If subtle promotional content is used (search results, banners), then user annoyance is reduced, but the content is too subtle to effectively motivate user interaction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser annoyanceVSAvoidclick-through rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enhances subtle promotional content by changing its emotional parameters. By tagging items with emotions and matching them with emotionally charged digital media clips, the system transforms bland banners and search results into emotionally engaging presentations that maintain subtlety while significantly improving click-through rates through emotional motivation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Device complexity

If traditional promotional methods are used without emotional alignment, then implementation is simple, but user engagement and click-through rates are low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem simplicityVSAvoiduser engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-tagging items and digital media clips with emotional associations before user interaction. This advance preparation of emotional mappings allows the system to quickly match and present emotionally aligned content in real-time, enhancing user engagement without adding complexity to the actual promotion process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms by monitoring user browsing actions and using this information to refine emotional associations and matching algorithms. This continuous feedback loop improves user engagement over time while the underlying system architecture remains relatively simple, relying on iterative optimization rather than complex structural changes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
