Solution Overview

Problem

Evaluating the effectiveness of media campaigns is challenging due to numerous variables and interrelated data points, making it difficult to measure and understand the impact of each factor on campaign outcomes.

Innovation Solution

A media guidance application that generates a user interface to display performance metrics, using data from various sources to visualize campaign information, including conversion rates, reach, and target audience demographics, allowing users to adjust variables and filter data for improved campaign performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If comprehensive data collection from multiple sources is performed to evaluate campaign effectiveness, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecampaign evaluation accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments campaign evaluation into distinct modular components: data collection module, data processing module, and reporting module. Each module handles specific tasks independently, allowing comprehensive data analysis while maintaining manageable system complexity through functional separation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediary processing layers that aggregate and standardize data from multiple diverse sources before analysis. These intermediaries translate various data formats into a unified structure, enabling precise measurement without directly managing the complexity of raw data sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If multiple variables and data points are analyzed to understand campaign impact, then measurement precision is improved, but difficulty of detecting and measuring increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariable impact measurementVSAvoiddata analysis complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides complex campaign variables into categorized groups (demographic variables, temporal variables, channel variables, creative variables). This segmentation allows analysts to study specific variable categories independently while maintaining the ability to analyze comprehensive multi-variable interactions when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms multi-dimensional campaign data into standardized dimensional frameworks with defined axes (time, channel, audience segment, creative element). This dimensional organization makes complex variable relationships detectable and measurable through structured analysis approaches.

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

AI summary

Systems and methods are disclosed for evaluating promotional campaigns. The system estimates a target conversion rate for an advertising campaign for a media asset and determines an actual conversion rate for the advertising campaign. The system, in response to determining that the target conversion rate and the actual conversion rate are similar, determines a target demographic audience for the target conversion rate. The system determines a primary demographic audience for the actual conversion rate and compares a first characteristic of the target demographic audience and a second characteristic of the primary demographic audience. Responsive to the determination that the target demographic audience and the primary demographic audience are different, the system generates for display a notification indicating that the target demographic audience and the primary demographic audience are different.
