Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional search solutions and personalization engines fail to effectively address information overload and fake news/spam issues, as they assume user intent and cannot learn user preferences in real-time, leading to inadequate content recommendations.

Innovation Solution

A computer system utilizing a graph database to store user interaction data and analyze relationships between content entities, with personalization engines that provide near-real-time content customization based on user interactions, sentiment analysis, and fine-tuning capabilities, enabling real-time adjustment of content recommendations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional search solutions and personalization engines are used, then content aggregation and delivery is enabled, but information overload and fake news/spam issues worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent aggregation and delivery efficiencyVSAvoidinformation overload and fake news
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where user interactions with content (likes, shares, comments, time spent) are continuously monitored and fed back into the personalization engine. This feedback loop enables the system to learn user preferences in real-time and adjust recommendations dynamically, reducing information overload by prioritizing high-quality, relevant content while filtering out fake news and spam through user behavior validation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The personalization engine operates autonomously by automatically learning from user interactions without requiring manual programming of preferences. The system self-adjusts its recommendation algorithms based on observed user behavior patterns, enabling it to adapt to changing user interests and effectively manage information overload by autonomously curating personalized content streams.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If conventional personalization engines are used, then content recommendations are provided, but real-time adaptation to user preferences is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidresponse time for preference learning
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system maintains continuous learning and adaptation by processing user interaction data in real-time as it occurs. The personalization engine continuously updates user profiles and recommendation models based on ongoing interactions, ensuring that content recommendations are always current and reflective of the user's most recent preferences, thereby eliminating delays in adaptation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis of user behavior patterns and pre-adjusts recommendations before users explicitly indicate preferences. By anticipating user needs based on observed patterns, the system proactively adapts content delivery in advance, reducing the time required for real-time preference learning and response.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If conventional search technology is used, then information retrieval is enabled, but the system cannot learn user preferences and assumes fixed user intent

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch functionalityVSAvoiduser preference learning capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces fixed search queries with dynamic feedback-based personalization. Instead of relying on explicit user search terms, the system continuously monitors implicit user interactions and uses this feedback to infer and adapt to user preferences automatically, enabling the system to learn and respond to evolving user interests without requiring explicit search commands.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The personalization engine performs self-learning by automatically analyzing user behavior patterns and adjusting recommendations without external intervention. This self-service capability allows the system to develop an evolving understanding of user preferences over time, replacing the need for explicit user input with autonomous preference inference and adaptation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Provided are systems and methods for personalizing website content configured for delivery to a user. An exemplary system includes a graph database for storage of data (i) representative of the user's interaction with existing content presented on the website and (ii) indicative of content entities of interest to the user, the data being stored as nodes. Also included are one or more personalization engines configured to analyze relations between one or more pairs of the nodes, each analyzed relation creating a respective link, and a structure of each of the links being a function of the user's interaction with the existing content. The one or more processors are configured to personalize new content for presentation to the user and a portion of the new content is (i) derived from one of the respective links and (ii) delivered to the user in near-real time when a type of the first link is within a first category.
