Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional consumer profiling methods, such as one-dimensional personas created using aggregated demographic and psychographic data, fail to capture the complexity and nuance of real-world consumer behaviors, are inflexible, lack personalization, and are unable to adapt to new contextual information or specific behavior triggers, leading to inefficiencies in computing resources and inaccurate predictions.

Innovation Solution

An AI-generated interactive digital persona grounded in survey and contextual data, using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to condition responses on segment-specific characteristics, behaviors, and experiences, enabling dynamic and realistic interactions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional one-dimensional personas are created using aggregated demographic and psychographic data, then the persona creation process is simple and quick, but the personas fail to capture the complexity and nuance of real-world consumer behaviors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of consumer behavior representationVSAvoidcomplexity of persona creation process
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms static, one-dimensional personas into dynamic, multi-dimensional representations by incorporating multiple data sources (demographic, psychographic, behavioral, contextual) that can adapt and evolve. The personas are no longer fixed profiles but dynamic constructs that reflect the complexity and nuance of real-world consumer behaviors through integrated analysis of diverse data dimensions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates composite personas by integrating multiple types of data (demographic, psychographic, behavioral, contextual) into a unified representation. This composite approach combines heterogeneous data sources to form a more accurate and nuanced persona that captures the full complexity of consumer behavior, rather than relying on a single data dimension.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Adaptability or versatility

If traditional personas are used for consumer profiling, then computing resource usage is low, but the personas are inflexible and unable to adapt to new contextual information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to new contextual informationVSAvoidcomputing resource usage
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-processing and organizing multiple data sources (demographic, psychographic, behavioral, contextual) into structured formats before persona creation. This preliminary data preparation enables the system to quickly adapt to new contextual information without requiring extensive computing resources during runtime, as the foundational data structure is already in place for efficient integration of new information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal persona framework that can handle multiple data types and adapt to various contextual scenarios. The integrated persona model serves multiple functions: it can process demographic data, psychographic profiles, behavioral patterns, and contextual information within a single unified structure, enabling flexible adaptation without requiring separate systems for each data type.

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

3Measurement precision

If traditional aggregated data methods are used, then data processing is straightforward, but personalization and accurate predictions are lacking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of predictionsVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the overall data processing task into distinct components: demographic data processing, psychographic analysis, behavioral pattern recognition, and contextual information integration. Each segment handles a specific data type with specialized processing methods, improving prediction accuracy while managing complexity through modular organization rather than attempting to process all data in a single undifferentiated manner.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by using different processing approaches for different data types within the persona framework. Each data source (demographic, psychographic, behavioral, contextual) receives tailored processing methods appropriate to its characteristics, enabling more accurate and personalized predictions by treating each data dimension with the quality and specificity it requires rather than applying a uniform processing approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A method and system for profiling user behavior using personas, ground by context and based on survey and other data. Data associated with a segment is identified. The data comprises one or more characteristics of the segment. An interactive digital persona representing the segment is generated based on the data. The interactive digital persona representing the segment is caused to be provided to a user device.
