Solution Overview

Problem

Users face difficulties in redeeming or benefiting from media content-based events due to the burden of managing physical copies of event data and promotional codes, and event organizers struggle to track user engagement with such content.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method and system for provisioning a token based on media content, which involves receiving media content data, extracting keywords, determining events, and generating a token for communication to user devices, facilitating event redemption and tracking user engagement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users use physical copies of event data (coupons, printed advertisements) to redeem events, then users can access event information, but users face burden of collecting, organizing, carrying, and using physical copies

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of event redemptionVSAvoidtime for managing physical copies
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces physical copies of event data with electronic tokens delivered via media content. Instead of users manually collecting and managing physical coupons and advertisements, the system automatically generates and delivers digital tokens to users through their media consumption, eliminating the need to physically handle event data copies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent substitutes the mechanical system of physically collecting, organizing, and carrying paper coupons with an automated electronic delivery system. Tokens are automatically generated and transmitted to user devices based on media content consumption, replacing manual physical management with automated digital processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of operation

If users manually enter promotional codes to redeem events, then users can access event benefits, but users face burden of remembering and typing promotional codes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of event redemptionVSAvoiduser interaction complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by automatically delivering tokens to users through their media content consumption. The system autonomously identifies eligible users, generates appropriate tokens, and delivers them without requiring users to manually enter promotional codes or interact with complex redemption interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces tokens as an intermediary between media content consumption and event redemption. Instead of users directly interacting with promotional codes and redemption systems, tokens serve as automated intermediaries that bridge the gap between content consumption and benefit delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If event organizers use traditional methods to track event redemption, then they can monitor some participation data, but event organizers cannot accurately track how many users are presented with event information or determine how many users redeem events

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of event trackingVSAvoidevent engagement data
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements comprehensive feedback mechanisms that automatically track and report event redemption data. The system monitors token delivery, usage, and redemption across the entire user base, providing event organizers with accurate real-time feedback on how many users received event information and how many actually redeemed events, eliminating data gaps in traditional tracking methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A method for provisioning a token based on media content may include receiving media content data associated with media content, account identifier data associated with an account identifier of a first user, and first user device identification data associated with a first user device of the first user. Keyword data associated with at least one keyword may be extracted from the media content. At least one event may be determined based at least partially on the keyword data. A token may be generated based at least partially on the at least one event and the account identifier data. The token may be communicated to the first user device based at least partially on the first user device identification data. A system and computer program product are also disclosed.
