Interactive Infomercial System Using Unique URL Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for distributing infomercials on mobile devices are inefficient, requiring significant time and memory resources and large data bandwidth, and often result in the same content being received by multiple users, lacking personalization and real-time interaction.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that generate and manage unique infomercial identification information (U3I) with unique URLs, allowing for personalized and interactive infomercial content delivery by creating redirect URLs, enabling real-time rendering on user devices with reduced time and memory requirements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If infomercials are distributed using multicasting based on user preferences, then the same content can be received by multiple users, but this results in significant time and memory resource consumption and large data bandwidth requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments infomercial content into multiple segments and assigns each segment a unique URL. Instead of transmitting entire infomercial files to multiple users (multicasting), the system divides content into smaller manageable segments that can be individually accessed through unique URLs, reducing redundant data transmission and bandwidth consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary component that manages URL generation and content delivery. This intermediary system coordinates between the content source and users, handling URL creation, validation, and redirection without requiring direct multicasting of content files, thereby reducing data bandwidth requirements while maintaining delivery efficiency.
2Speed
If infomercials are transmitted over mobile messaging services to provide real-time information, then users receive timely content, but generating infomercials involves huge time and memory requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-generating unique URLs for infomercial content segments before actual user requests. The system prepares URL structures, validates content availability, and sets up delivery pathways in advance, so that when users request content, the system can immediately provide access without undergoing lengthy generation processes, thus achieving real-time delivery with minimal generation overhead.
3Adaptability or versatility
If unique URLs are generated for infomercial content, then personalized content delivery is enabled, but the system requires complex URL management and redirect creation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a URL management system that performs multiple functions through a unified approach. The same URL generation mechanism handles both unique content identification and personalization routing, while the redirect system simultaneously manages content delivery and user tracking. This multi-functional design reduces overall system complexity despite enabling personalized content delivery.

AI summary
Embodiments of present disclosure relates to a method and an interactive infomercial system for enabling interactive infomercials. In one embodiment, the system receives a request for U3I (unique infomercial identification information) associated with infomercial content. The system determines the availability of pregenerated U3I and generate remaining number of U3I based on determination of non-availability of the requested U3I. Further, the system updates the generated U3I with at least one redirect URL that is activated to enable the rendering of the infomercial content on a user device. The system may also generate personalized U3Is based on user data. Thus, the above disclosed system and method enables real-time interactive infomercials to the users such that the U3Is are generated and stored in advance when the system is available and updated with animation content on demand in less time and quick response time.
