Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge of displaying advertisements on mobile devices with varying screen sizes leads to substantial distortion, as existing methods require separate advertisements for each screen size, resulting in scalability issues and inefficient management and reporting of advertising campaigns.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for delivering integrated advertisements, which include a markup language portion and an image portion, where each image corresponds to different screen sizes, allowing the advertisement server to dynamically bind the appropriate image with the markup language based on the device's screen size, enabling scalable targeting and reporting regardless of screen size.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single advertisement is scaled to fit different mobile device screen sizes, then the advertisement can be displayed on all devices, but substantial distortion occurs and the advertisement quality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompatibility with different screen sizesVSAvoidadvertisement display quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The advertisement is divided into multiple pre-rendered versions, each optimized for specific screen size categories (e.g., small, medium, large mobile screens). Instead of using a single advertisement that is scaled to fit different screens, the system segments the advertisement into distinct variants that maintain their quality across different device sizes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The advertisement delivery system dynamically selects and serves the appropriate advertisement variant based on the device's screen size characteristics. The system continuously adapts which advertisement version is delivered to each user based on real-time detection of screen dimensions, ensuring optimal display quality for each device type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Manufacturing precision

If separate advertisements are created for each screen size, then advertisement quality is maintained, but the system complexity and management overhead increase substantially

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertisement display qualityVSAvoidadvertisement management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A single integrated advertisement structure serves multiple screen size categories through its component parts. The advertisement system is designed so that one advertisement framework can accommodate multiple variants, and the same infrastructure handles selection and delivery for all device types, eliminating the need for completely separate advertisement systems for each screen size.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms to monitor advertisement performance across different devices and screen sizes. This feedback is used to optimize the selection algorithm and improve future advertisement delivery decisions, reducing the need for manual management and adjustment of multiple advertisement variants.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple targeted advertisements are created for different screen sizes, then each device receives optimized content, but campaign management and reporting become more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetargeting accuracyVSAvoidcampaign reporting complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple advertisement variants for different screen sizes are merged into a single integrated advertisement structure that can be managed as one unified campaign. The system combines the targeting and reporting functions across all device types, allowing campaign managers to track and analyze performance across all screen sizes through a single reporting framework rather than managing separate campaigns for each device category.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

Disclosed herein is a system and method for creating and delivering integrated advertisements. An integrated advertisement may include a markup language portion for defining various formatting and properties of an advertisement and an image portion containing a plurality of images. Each of the images in the image portion may be designed to correspond with a particular screen size. The integrated advertisement provides scalability for delivering the advertisement to a number of different devices in accordance with multiple targeting criteria. The integrated advertisement also enables efficient management and reporting of advertising campaigns. An advertisement server selects and delivers an integrated advertisement and dynamically binds the markup language portion with one of the plurality of images based on the screen size of the device requesting the advertisement.
