Location-Based Traffic Redirection for Local Service Providers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for redirecting internet traffic to local businesses are inadequate, as they fail to effectively engage users based on location, with big internet companies dominating traffic control through costly advertisements.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that analyze user requests to determine locations and identify relevant service providers associated with events like life, birth, death, weddings, and graduations, generating and transmitting a service provider list to user devices, facilitating the redirection of internet traffic to local businesses.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If big internet companies control internet traffic through costly advertisements, then traffic control capability is improved, but accessibility for local businesses deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a location-based service platform as an intermediary between users and service providers. This mediator captures user location data, identifies relevant local businesses, and redirects traffic accordingly, bypassing the need for expensive advertising control by major internet companies while maintaining effective local business connectivity
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables automatic service matching where the platform autonomously analyzes user requests, determines locations, identifies appropriate service providers, and generates service lists without human intervention. This self-service mechanism democratizes access to traffic redirection, allowing local businesses to receive targeted traffic without requiring expensive advertising campaigns
2Adaptability or versatility
If location-based service matching is implemented, then engagement with local businesses is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a multi-functional platform that consolidates location detection, service provider identification, traffic redirection, and list generation into a single system. This universal approach handles diverse service categories (medical, legal, entertainment, etc.) and event types (births, weddings, graduations) through unified processes, managing complexity through functional integration rather than proliferation of separate systems
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts parameters such as location coordinates, service categories, and user preferences to match users with appropriate local businesses. By changing these parameters automatically based on input data, the system achieves high adaptability without requiring complex manual configuration or intervention
3Loss of energy
If manual traffic redirection methods are used, then implementation cost is reduced, but effectiveness in reaching local businesses deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-identifying service providers, pre-generating service lists, and pre-establishing location-based matching criteria. This advance preparation automates what would otherwise require manual effort, significantly improving redirection effectiveness while keeping implementation costs low through systematic automation of routine tasks
