IP Notification Targeting via Device Scoring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face challenges in effectively targeting and transmitting Internet Protocol (IP) notifications to mobile devices to promote mobile application installations, particularly due to limitations on the number of notifications that can be sent to each device within a predefined period and the complexity of managing concurrent campaigns.
Innovation Solution
A computer system that utilizes historical data and predictive models to selectively target mobile devices likely to install mobile applications, while adhering to notification limits and optimizing concurrent campaigns by analyzing device usage patterns, demographic information, and response rates to adapt and refine targeting strategies.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If IP notifications are sent to a large number of mobile devices to promote mobile application installations, then the reach and potential installations increase, but the number of notifications per device exceeds predefined limits causing subscriber irritation
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by segmenting the notification distribution strategy according to individual device characteristics. Each mobile device receives a customized notification rate based on its historical behavior, installation patterns, and engagement metrics rather than a uniform approach. This allows the system to send more notifications to devices likely to install while limiting notifications to devices prone to irritation, resolving the contradiction between reach and subscriber satisfaction.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically changes the parameter of notification frequency and targeting criteria based on real-time data analysis. By continuously adjusting which devices receive notifications and how many, the system optimizes the balance between maximizing installations and avoiding subscriber fatigue. The predefined limits are not static constraints but adaptive thresholds that evolve with device response patterns.
2Productivity
If historical data and predictive models are used to selectively target mobile devices, then notification effectiveness and installation rates improve, but system complexity and computational requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing and storing historical data, device profiles, and predictive models before notification campaigns begin. Installation patterns, device characteristics, and engagement metrics are analyzed in advance to create ready-to-use targeting criteria. This upfront preparation reduces real-time computational complexity during actual notification distribution while maintaining high installation rates through pre-optimized targeting.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary layer of predictive modeling and data analysis that sits between the notification source and target devices. This intermediary processes historical data, generates installation probability scores, and translates complex patterns into simple targeting rules. The intermediary absorbs the computational complexity, allowing the core notification system to remain relatively simple while still achieving high productivity through data-driven targeting.
3Quantity of substance
If multiple concurrent IP notification campaigns are managed simultaneously, then advertising revenue and promotion coverage increase, but the difficulty of managing notification limits and targeting accuracy increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple concurrent campaigns into a unified management framework that shares common data infrastructure, predictive models, and device profiling. Instead of managing each campaign independently with separate targeting logic, the system consolidates notification distribution across all campaigns while applying a single set of learned device characteristics and installation patterns. This reduces the quadratic growth in complexity that would otherwise result from managing multiple independent campaign systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The system achieves universality by creating a multi-functional platform that handles diverse campaign types, messaging formats, and targeting criteria through a single integrated engine. The same predictive models and device profiles serve multiple campaigns simultaneously, and the notification distribution system adapts to different campaign objectives without requiring separate management infrastructure. This universal approach allows the system to scale notification coverage across multiple campaigns while keeping management complexity linear rather than exponential.
Data Source
AI summary
A computer system for conducting an Internet protocol (IP) notification campaign. The system comprises an application that receives a request to send notifications to a number of mobile communication devices that identifies a content of the IP notification, analyzes information associated with mobile devices based on the request, where analyzing the information comprises determining a number of IP notifications previously sent to the mobile devices during a predefined period of time and determining other information about the mobile devices, determines a score for each of the analyzed plurality of mobile devices based on the content of the IP notification and the analysis, and subject to a restriction against sending more than a predefined number of IP notifications to a mobile device during the predefined period of time, selects the number of mobile devices based on their scores, and transmits the IP notification to each of the selected mobile devices.
