Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional methods for recommending advertisement keywords are limited to matching advertising products and fail to provide suitable recommendations when no matching keyword exists, leading to inadequate suggestions for advertisers.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that allow advertisers to select keyword recommendation standards such as Pay Per Click (PPC), number of queries, Click Through Rate (CTR), and monthly sales forecast, to order and recommend extended advertisement keywords based on these criteria, including the option to recommend less highly-related or 'tail' keywords when set values are lowered.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional keyword recommendation methods are used that only match advertising products, then the system is simple to operate, but the recommendation accuracy and versatility are insufficient when no exact match exists

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvekeyword recommendation versatilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the keyword recommendation process into multiple independent modules: a keyword database storing diverse keyword types (product names, categories, attributes, synonyms), a recommendation engine that applies different recommendation standards (PPC, CTR, query volume, relevance), and a selection interface. This segmentation allows the system to handle multiple recommendation scenarios without becoming unmanageably complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a universal keyword recommendation system that can serve multiple functions: recommending exact product matches, suggesting related keywords when no exact match exists, providing tail keywords for long-tail search optimization, and supporting different recommendation criteria (PPC, CTR, query volume). This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction by making the system adaptable to various advertiser needs while maintaining a unified architecture.

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

2Measurement precision

If multiple keyword recommendation standards are implemented, then the recommendation accuracy and advertiser control are improved, but the system complexity and difficulty of operation increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvekeyword recommendation precisionVSAvoidsystem operability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic recommendation standards that can be adjusted in real-time based on advertiser selection. The system allows advertisers to choose from multiple recommendation criteria (PPC, CTR, query volume, relevance) and dynamically switch between them. The recommendation engine adapts its behavior based on the selected standard, providing precise recommendations while maintaining ease of operation through a user-friendly interface that presents clear options.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables advertisers to self-select their preferred recommendation standard from a presented list of options. The system provides default recommendations but allows advertisers to independently choose the criterion that best suits their campaign goals (e.g., selecting CTR for brand awareness or PPC for conversion optimization). This self-service approach improves precision by allowing advertiser control while maintaining ease of operation through intuitive selection interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Quantity of substance

If the system only recommends highly-related keywords, then the relevance is high, but the coverage of potential keywords is limited and tail keywords are missed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of recommended keywordsVSAvoidkeyword relevance
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating between different types of keyword recommendations within the same system. It recommends highly-related keywords for main product categories while simultaneously suggesting tail keywords for long-tail search optimization. The system assigns different relevance thresholds to different keyword types: high relevance for product-name matches, moderate relevance for category keywords, and lower relevance for tail keywords. This resolves the contradiction by providing both quantity and reliability through differentiated recommendation quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements partial action by recommending keywords at different relevance levels based on advertiser needs. When an advertiser selects to receive more keyword options, the system partially expands the recommendation set to include less highly-related but potentially valuable tail keywords. This allows advertisers to receive exactly the quantity of keywords they need without forcing low-relevance keywords on those who only want precise matches, thus maintaining reliability while increasing quantity when requested.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

A method of recommending an advertisement keyword comprises receiving at least one keyword for an online advertisement from an advertiser; allowing the advertiser to select at least one standard for keyword suggestions associated with the advertisement; selecting at least one keyword suggestions based, at least in part, upon the at least one standard for keyword suggestions; and providing at least some of the selected at least one keyword suggestions.
