Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information distribution platforms limit interaction between content providers and users to one-sided messages, leading to ineffective content distribution and increased battery consumption and network congestion due to the sending of irrelevant content.

Innovation Solution

An information distribution system that allows users to interact with targeted content by selecting graphical user interface elements, enabling the generation of custom messages and addendums based on user input, which can be sent to a group of devices for display, thereby enhancing content relevance and reducing unnecessary content transmission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If content providers send targeted content to users, then content engagement is increased, but battery consumption and network congestion increase due to sending irrelevant content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent distribution efficiencyVSAvoidbattery consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where users interact with content by selecting graphical user interface elements, and the system uses this feedback to generate custom messages and determine content delivery. This feedback loop ensures that content is sent only when relevant, reducing unnecessary energy consumption while maintaining high engagement rates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The content distribution system transitions from static one-way messaging to dynamic interactive communication. The system adapts its behavior based on user responses and selections, dynamically adjusting what content is sent and when, thereby reducing battery consumption by avoiding irrelevant content transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If content providers send targeted content to users, then content engagement is increased, but network congestion increases due to sending irrelevant content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent distribution efficiencyVSAvoidnetwork congestion
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses user interactions with graphical user interface elements as feedback to intelligently determine content delivery. This feedback mechanism filters out irrelevant content transmission, reducing network congestion while maintaining efficient distribution of relevant content to users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts content distribution based on real-time user responses and selections. This dynamic approach ensures that network resources are allocated efficiently, reducing congestion by transmitting only necessary content rather than broadcasting to all users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Loss of information

If users interact with targeted content by selecting graphical user interface elements, then content relevance is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent relevanceVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The interface is segmented into multiple selectable graphical user interface elements within the content itself. This segmentation allows users to interact with specific portions of content that interest them, improving relevance without requiring complex overall interface structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The graphical user interface elements serve multiple functions: they enable user selection, provide feedback mechanisms, and trigger content delivery. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate complex interface components, maintaining simplicity while improving content relevance.

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

AI summary

Techniques of the disclosure are directed to sending and receiving messages that allow for content providers to interact with potential recipients and customers. An information distribution system may receive a first message from a content provider via a first client device that includes targeted content, such as a string of characters, an image, a video, and/or some other form of media. The targeted content may also include tags, such as hashtags, which identify or otherwise associate a particular topic with the user-generated content. Further, the targeted content may include a selectable graphical user interface element that a user reading the content may interact with on a second client device. If the user selects the selectable graphical user interface element, the information distribution system may generate a custom message that may be sent on behalf of the user, which may also include a tag, such as a hashtag.
