Innovation Solution

An online advertisement method that uses an advertisement website to provide targeted ads based on the user's current location, offering a local selection menu and displaying ads relevant to the selected area, with features like hashtag-based filtering and dynamic ad duration and size adjustments based on user engagement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If traditional online advertisements are displayed to users, then advertisement reach is improved, but consumer dissatisfaction increases due to irrelevant ads

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertisement reachVSAvoidconsumer dissatisfaction
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by tailoring advertisement content to match the specific interests and characteristics of individual users. The system analyzes user profiles, browsing history, and demographic information to deliver locally customized ads that resonate with each user's preferences, thereby reducing consumer dissatisfaction while maintaining broad reach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by dynamically adjusting advertisement parameters such as content, timing, and placement based on real-time user behavior data. The system modifies ad parameters including creative elements, messaging, and display location to optimize relevance for each user, transforming the static advertisement approach into a dynamic, user-responsive system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If advertisements are made more targeted and relevant, then consumer engagement is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconsumer engagementVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by enabling users to actively participate in shaping their advertisement experience through preference settings and interactions. Users can adjust their own preferences, provide feedback on ad relevance, and control the type of content they receive, which simplifies the system's operation while maintaining high engagement levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent leverages feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring user interactions with advertisements and adjusting the system accordingly. The system analyzes engagement data, click-through rates, and user feedback to refine future ad delivery, creating a self-improving loop that reduces complexity through automated learning and adaptation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If comprehensive user data is collected for targeted ads, then advertisement effectiveness is improved, but data privacy concerns increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertisement effectivenessVSAvoiddata privacy concerns
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing user data into distinct categories and processing segments separately. The system segments data into demographic information, interest profiles, and behavior patterns, analyzing and utilizing each segment independently to maintain effectiveness while enhancing privacy protection through controlled data handling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer in the form of a privacy-preserving data processing system that acts as a mediator between data collection and ad delivery. This intermediary anonymizes and aggregates user data before it is used for targeting, ensuring that raw personal information is not directly exposed while still enabling effective advertisement personalization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Duration of action of stationary object

If advertisements are displayed for extended periods, then brand exposure is improved, but user attention span is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebrand exposureVSAvoiduser attention span
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of stationary objectVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic action by displaying advertisements in controlled intervals rather than continuously. The system uses periodic pulses of ad content that are strategically timed to coincide with user interest moments, maintaining brand exposure while respecting user attention spans through rhythmic, non-intrusive delivery patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies dynamics by making advertisement duration and intensity variable rather than fixed. The system dynamically adjusts ad display parameters based on real-time user engagement levels, automatically reducing duration when user attention wanes and increasing it when engagement is high, thereby optimizing the balance between brand exposure and user attention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
