Solution Overview

Problem

Companies face challenges in optimizing internet-based campaigns across multiple channels to effectively improve traffic volume and quality, as existing methods lack comprehensive strategies for integrating signals from different channels to enhance campaign performance.

Innovation Solution

The system collects signals from various channels, including organic search, paid search, and social media, to provide recommendations for optimizing campaigns in other channels, using a forecasting engine to analyze data and make adjustments such as keyword optimization, bid price adjustments, and content updates based on performance metrics and competitive intelligence.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If campaigns are optimized using signals from multiple channels, then campaign effectiveness and ROI are improved, but system complexity increases due to the need to collect, analyze, and integrate data from various sources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecampaign effectivenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a forecasting engine as an intermediary component that collects signals from multiple channels (organic search, paid search, social media), processes them through machine learning models, and generates optimized campaign recommendations. This intermediary system simplifies the complexity by centralizing data processing and providing actionable insights without requiring manual analysis of each channel's data separately.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by continuously collecting performance data from campaigns, feeding it back into the forecasting engine, and using the results to refine future campaign recommendations. This closed-loop approach allows the system to learn from past performance and automatically optimize future campaigns, improving effectiveness while managing complexity through automated iterative improvement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive signal collection from multiple channels is implemented, then campaign optimization accuracy is improved, but data processing requirements and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoptimization accuracyVSAvoidcomputational resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The forecasting engine performs preliminary processing of signals from multiple channels by pre-processing, filtering, and structuring data before it enters the machine learning models. This preliminary action reduces the computational burden on subsequent analysis steps by preparing data in an optimized format, thereby improving measurement precision while managing computational resource requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts parameters such as the number of signals collected from each channel, the depth of data analysis, and the complexity of machine learning models based on available computational resources and campaign priorities. This parameter adaptation allows the system to maintain high optimization accuracy while efficiently allocating computational resources to the most impactful tasks.

Inventive Principle:

AI summary

In an example embodiment, signals are collected from one or more first channels in a communication network. The one or more first channels may include at least one of organic search, paid search, or social media. Based on the collected signals, a recommendation is made with respect to a campaign within a second channel.
