Language Parameter-Based Content Selection for Multilingual Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In internet-based content delivery systems, users often receive content in languages they cannot understand, leading to ineffective communication and user experience issues.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that utilize a data processing system with a language translation module and user profile module to translate electronic documents and select relevant content items based on user language preferences and geographic parameters, ensuring content is delivered in a language the user comprehends.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If content is delivered in the language of the content item database, then content availability is improved, but user comprehension deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a language parameter as an intermediary element that mediates between the content item database (which stores content in various languages) and the user (who has specific language comprehension needs). The language parameter acts as a matching criterion that selects appropriate content items whose language matches the user's language preference, thereby ensuring both content availability and user comprehension.
2Loss of information
If translation services are added to the system, then user comprehension is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-storing language parameters with each content item in the content item database during the content creation and storage phase. This preliminary organization of language information eliminates the need for complex real-time translation services, as the system can directly select and deliver content in the user's preferred language based on pre-established language matching criteria.
3Adaptability or versatility
If language parameters are stored for each user, then content relevance is improved, but data storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by storing language parameters specifically at the user level (in user profiles) rather than maintaining comprehensive content metadata for all possible user scenarios. Each user profile contains localized language preference information that is relevant only to that specific user, thereby improving content relevance for individual users while minimizing overall data storage requirements through targeted, user-specific data collection.

AI summary
Systems and methods of serving a content item to a user in a specific language are provided. An electronic document can be provided to a computing device over a network. A request to translate the electronic document from a first language to a second language can be received from the computing device. A language parameter for the computing device can be stored based on the request to translate the electronic document. A request for a content item to be provided to the computing device can be received. A content item can be selected from a content item database based on the stored language parameter and a geographic parameter indicating the content item is relevant to a geographic area local to the computing device. The content item can be provided to the computing device over the network.
