Solution Overview

Problem

Current digital promotion systems lack engaging and dynamic methods to incentivize consumers, relying on traditional coupon structures that do not effectively leverage user interaction or creativity, leading to suboptimal marketing outcomes.

Innovation Solution

A digital promotion processing system utilizing a messenger bot to prompt users with trivia questions or image-based challenges, adjusting redeemable values based on difficulty levels and user engagement, allowing for real-time interaction and creative input, and generating personalized digital promotions for products.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional paper coupons or simple digital promotions are used, then the implementation is simple and cost-effective, but consumer engagement and marketing effectiveness are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of promotion distributionVSAvoidmarketing effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms static coupons into dynamic digital promotions that adapt to user behavior. The system dynamically generates promotions based on real-time user interactions, purchase history, and engagement metrics, allowing the promotion content and value to change automatically rather than using fixed traditional coupons

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements continuous feedback loops where user responses to trivia questions, engagement with promotions, and purchase behaviors are tracked and fed back into the system. This feedback mechanism allows the system to learn from user interactions and optimize future promotion delivery, significantly improving marketing effectiveness while maintaining operational simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If traditional static digital promotions are used, then the distribution is straightforward, but user interaction and creativity are not leveraged

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedistribution simplicityVSAvoiduser interaction capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces dynamic elements by making promotions responsive to user actions. Instead of static digital coupons, the system creates adaptive promotions that change based on user参与度, transforming the distribution process from a one-way delivery to an interactive experience that encourages user participation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables users to actively participate in earning promotions through trivia questions and creative tasks. Users self-engage with the system by answering questions and completing challenges, rather than passively receiving traditional promotions, thereby increasing interaction without complicating distribution

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Device complexity

If fixed-value digital promotions are used, then the system is simple to manage, but the perceived value and user motivation are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepromotion management complexityVSAvoiduser motivation
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic value adjustment where promotion rewards are not fixed but vary based on difficulty levels of trivia questions, user performance, and engagement metrics. This creates a more motivating system where users can earn higher-value promotions through greater effort, while the system automatically manages the complexity through algorithmic valuation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of promotion value from static to variable. By adjusting redeemable values based on multiple factors including question difficulty, user history, and real-time engagement, the system maintains manageable complexity through automated parameter adjustment while significantly boosting user motivation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Productivity

If real-time interactive challenges are implemented, then user engagement increases, but the system complexity and processing requirements increase

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a messenger bot as an intermediary that handles real-time interactions between users and the promotion system. The bot manages trivia questions, tracks responses, and coordinates reward distribution, absorbing the processing complexity while presenting a simple interface to users, thereby increasing engagement without exposing system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements automated processing where the digital promotion server automatically evaluates user responses, determines winners, and distributes promotions without manual intervention. This self-service approach handles the processing complexity internally while maintaining simple user-facing operations, enabling real-time interaction at scale

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
