Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional advertising methods lack assurance that advertisements are viewed by the intended consumer, fail to provide personalized content, and lack direct feedback and compensation mechanisms for viewers, making it difficult for advertisers to measure ad effectiveness and optimize their budgets.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for incentivized advertisement viewing, where viewers receive and confirm ad viewing on their devices, provide feedback, and earn rewards stored in a rewards bank, utilizing a server-connected platform that uses AI for ad delivery and analytics, ensuring ad visibility and viewer engagement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional advertising methods are used (TV, radio, online), then advertisements can be delivered to viewers, but there is no guarantee that the advertisement is actually being viewed by the intended consumer

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvead viewing assuranceVSAvoidviewer engagement confirmation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where viewers must actively engage with the advertisement by answering questions or completing tasks to prove they watched it. This creates a closed-loop system where the advertiser receives confirmation that the ad was actually viewed, resolving the reliability issue of traditional advertising.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary platform (the incentivized advertising system) between the advertiser and the viewer. This intermediary verifies viewing through engagement tasks and rewards the viewer, thereby confirming actual ad exposure and eliminating the information loss about viewer engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If advertisements are delivered through traditional mediums, then broad audience reach is achieved, but advertisements cannot be customized for individual viewers

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvead customizationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent collects viewer information and preferences in advance, then uses this pre-collected data to customize advertisement delivery. By performing the customization preparation beforehand, the system can deliver personalized ads without adding excessive complexity during the actual advertising process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If advertisers increase advertising spend to ensure broader coverage, then more viewers are reached, but there is no direct means of assessing a viewer's opinion of the advertisements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvead effectiveness measurementVSAvoidadvertising budget
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where viewers must actively engage with the advertisement by answering questions or completing tasks to prove they watched it. This creates a closed-loop system where the advertiser receives confirmation that the ad was actually viewed, resolving the reliability issue of traditional advertising.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary platform (the incentivized advertising system) between the advertiser and the viewer. This intermediary verifies viewing through engagement tasks and rewards the viewer, thereby confirming actual ad exposure and eliminating the information loss about viewer engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Reliability

If viewers are required to pay attention to advertisements, then ad effectiveness improves, but there is little to no incentive for the viewer to pay attention

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewer attention assuranceVSAvoidviewer participation ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent converts the traditionally harmful aspect of ad viewing (viewers被动 receiving ads they ignore) into a beneficial activity by offering rewards. Viewers who would normally tune out ads are now incentivized to watch and engage, transforming the problem of low attention into an opportunity for measured engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where viewers must actively engage with the advertisement by answering questions or completing tasks to prove they watched it. This creates a closed-loop system where the advertiser receives confirmation that the ad was actually viewed, resolving the reliability issue of traditional advertising.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A system and method for displaying advertisements to a viewer. An advertiser may upload one or more advertisements to a server and select various parameters for displaying the advertisement to a viewer. A viewer may choose to view advertisements in return for compensation. The viewer may be asked to verify comprehension or provide feedback on the advertisements before compensation is awarded.
