Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies fail to systematically and effectively utilize behavior information generated from various online and offline user activities, as this information is randomly distributed and lacks organized association with unique identity identifiers.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for processing information by acquiring a target behavior information set, selecting a unique identity identifier based on specified user attributes, and associating behavior information using an identity identifier mapping technique to facilitate analysis and utilization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If behavior information is collected from multiple identity identifiers, then the quantity and variety of behavior information increases, but the complexity of managing and associating this information increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of behavior informationVSAvoidcomplexity of information management
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a unique identity identifier as an intermediary element that mediates between multiple identity identifiers and behavior information. This unique identifier consolidates associations, allowing behavior information from different identity identifiers to be linked through a single intermediary, thereby reducing management complexity while maintaining the ability to collect diverse behavior data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges multiple identity identifiers into a single unique identity identifier through association relationships. By combining the functions of multiple identifiers into one unified identifier, the system reduces the complexity of managing separate identifier-behavior mappings while preserving access to behavior information from all original identifiers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Loss of information

If behavior information is associated with multiple identity identifiers, then the completeness of user profile increases, but the difficulty of analysis and utilization increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of user profileVSAvoiddifficulty of analysis and utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The unique identity identifier serves as an intermediary that consolidates behavior information from multiple sources. This intermediary structure maintains complete user profiles by preserving associations with all original identity identifiers, while simultaneously simplifying analysis by providing a single access point to all behavior data through the unique identifier.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the information management system into two layers: the unique identity identifier layer for simplified access and analysis, and the multiple identity identifier layer for maintaining complete profile information. This segmentation allows analysts to work with the simplified unique identifier while the complete profile data remains preserved in the background.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If identity identifier mapping is implemented, then the effectiveness of behavior information utilization improves, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness of behavior information utilizationVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent establishes identity identifier mapping relationships in advance before analysis operations are performed. By pre-configuring the associations between multiple identity identifiers and unique identifiers, the system eliminates the need for complex real-time mapping calculations during analysis, thereby reducing processing time while maintaining high effectiveness of behavior information utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
