Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional analytics systems in digital marketing fail to account for the effects of individual components of digital marketing content on temporal aspects, consumption channels, and their combinations, leading to limited insights into how, where, with whom, and when audience segments consume digital marketing content, and the resulting outcomes.

Innovation Solution

An analytics system that analyzes user interaction data to identify the effects of individual components of digital marketing content, such as text, images, and audio, across different environments and channels of consumption using machine learning models, generating data on which components are effective in various scenarios to optimize content delivery.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If conventional analytics systems use audience segmentation techniques, then audience segments can be identified and metrics can be evaluated, but the effects of individual content components on temporal aspects, channels, and combinations are not accounted for

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinsight into content component effectsVSAvoidanalytics system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments digital marketing content into individual components (text, images, video, audio) and analyzes each component's effect separately and in combination. This segmentation allows the system to identify which specific components drive conversion for different audience segments, temporal aspects, and channels, resolving the information loss about component-level effects while maintaining manageable analysis through structured decomposition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds multiple new dimensions to the traditional audience segmentation analysis by incorporating content component types, temporal aspects, and consumption channels as additional segmentation dimensions. This dimensional expansion enables the system to analyze interactions between audience segments and content components across time and channels, providing comprehensive insights without overwhelming complexity through systematic organization of multi-dimensional data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Productivity

If digital marketing content is delivered without analyzing individual components, then content delivery is simple, but efficiency and effectiveness are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent delivery efficiencyVSAvoidcontent analysis system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the analytics system continuously analyzes user interaction data with different content components and adjusts content delivery strategies accordingly. By measuring which components perform best for different audience segments, temporal patterns, and channels, the system provides feedback that enables iterative optimization of content delivery, improving productivity through data-driven decision making while managing complexity through automated feedback loops.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes key parameters of content delivery by analyzing and optimizing content component characteristics (text length, image type, video duration, audio elements) along with delivery timing and channel selection. This parameter optimization enables the system to identify the most effective content configurations for each audience segment and context, significantly improving content delivery efficiency and effectiveness through systematic parameter variation and selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If conventional analytics systems evaluate metrics without component-level analysis, then analysis is straightforward, but insights into how, where, when, and with whom content was consumed are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement of content consumption effectsVSAvoiddata collection and analysis complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments consumption data by audience segment, content component type, temporal aspect, and channel to enable precise measurement of effects for each dimension. This segmentation allows the system to measure precisely which components drive conversion for specific audience groups at specific times through specific channels, improving measurement precision while organizing complex data into manageable segments that can be analyzed systematically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary analytics layer that processes and correlates data from multiple sources (user interaction data, content metadata, temporal information, channel data) to produce integrated insights. This intermediary processing layer mediates between raw complex data and actionable insights, enabling precise measurement of content component effects across multiple dimensions while simplifying the overall analysis through centralized processing and correlation algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Techniques and systems are described to enable users to optimize a digital marketing content system by analyzing an effect of components of digital marketing content on audience segments, environments of consumption, and channels of consumption. A computing device of an analytics system receives user interaction data describing an effect of user interaction with multiple items of digital marketing content on achieving an action for multiple audience segments. The analytics system identifies which of a plurality of components are included in respective items of digital marketing content. The analytics system generates data identifying different aspects that likely had an effect on the achieving an action on the items of digital marketing content, such as components of the items of digital marketing content, environments of consumption, channels of consumption. The analytics system outputs a result based on the data in a user interface.
