Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems for providing discounts to consumers are inefficient in personalizing promotional offers and failing to effectively update user preferences, leading to irrelevant content display.

Innovation Solution

A machine-implemented method and apparatus that provides an interactive feedback overlay on a display device, allowing users to select preferences and disinterests, which updates user profiles and filters content accordingly, enabling personalized and relevant promotional offers based on user interactions and metadata analysis.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional discount systems are used to provide promotions to consumers, then the system can deliver promotional content, but the content is not personalized and becomes irrelevant to user preferences

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization of promotional contentVSAvoiduser preference information
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback loops where user interactions with promotional content (views, clicks, purchases, scrolls) are continuously captured and fed back to update user preference profiles. This enables the system to adapt and personalize future promotional content based on actual user behavior, resolving the contradiction between delivering promotions and personalizing them.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system allows users to implicitly build their own preference profiles through their natural interactions with the platform. Users don't need to manually configure preferences; instead, the system automatically learns and adapts to their preferences through their browsing and purchasing behavior, enabling personalization without requiring explicit user input.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If an interactive feedback overlay is added to provide personalized feedback, then user engagement improves, but the interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The feedback overlay is merged with the existing promotional content display rather than being a separate, independent interface element. The overlay integrates preference selection, feedback collection, and personalized content delivery into a unified interaction flow, reducing the perceived complexity while maintaining engagement benefits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The feedback overlay is designed to be dynamic and adaptive, changing its behavior and visibility based on user interactions. The overlay can appear, disappear, and adjust its content based on real-time user preferences and behavior, making the complex system feel more natural and easier to use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Measurement precision

If user preference data is collected and processed to filter content, then relevant promotional offers are provided, but the system requires sophisticated data processing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent relevance accuracyVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The data processing system is segmented into modular components: preference capture modules, profile building modules, content filtering modules, and feedback processing modules. Each module handles a specific aspect of the data processing pipeline, making the overall complex system more manageable and maintainable while achieving high content relevance accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Provided herein are systems, methods and computer readable media for providing an interface configured to provide a consumer with a number of promotions. In providing such functionality, the system can be configured to, for example, monitor and detect a consumer's selection of a preferred promotion. Upon determining the selection of a preferred promotion, a interactive feedback overlay may be configured to provide an indication acknowledging the consumer's selection of the preferred promotion. In some embodiments, the system may be configured to receive an indication corresponding to a user's desire to remove a particular promotion from a promotional interface.
