Metapage Generation for Social Network Concept Aggregation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Social networking systems lack efficient mechanisms to organize and share user preference information across multiple domains, leading to duplicative pages for equivalent concepts, which hinders third-party developers and advertisers in driving traffic and engagement.
Innovation Solution
A social networking system generates metapages that match and associate equivalent concepts across multiple domains, allowing for the organization and sharing of user preferences, with feedback mechanisms to determine page associations and provide personalized content based on user context.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple pages are created for equivalent concepts across different domains, then users can access concept information from various sources, but the system becomes complex and user preference information cannot be efficiently organized or shared
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple pages representing equivalent concepts across different domains into a single unified page. The system identifies concept equivalence through various signals (URL patterns, content analysis, user behavior) and consolidates these disparate pages, allowing users to access concept information from multiple sources through a single unified interface while reducing overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The unified page serves multiple functions simultaneously: it aggregates content from various domains, consolidates user preference information, provides a single access point for equivalent concepts, and enables efficient sharing of user data with third-party developers and advertisers. This multi-functional approach resolves the contradiction by making one page do the work of many.
2Quantity of substance
If user preference information is collected across multiple domains, then comprehensive user interest data is available, but the information cannot be effectively organized or shared with third-party developers and advertisers
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges user preference information from multiple domains into a consolidated structure. By linking pages across domains that represent equivalent concepts, user preferences expressed on any of these pages are automatically aggregated and made accessible in a unified manner, enabling easy organization and sharing with third-party developers and advertisers.
Solution Approach 2:
The unified page structure acts as an intermediary that bridges user preference data and third-party developers/advertisers. Instead of directly managing complex multi-domain preference data, the system uses the unified page as a mediator to organize, aggregate, and expose this information in an accessible format, significantly improving ease of operation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If duplicative pages exist for equivalent concepts, then comprehensive coverage of concept domains is achieved, but third-party developers and advertisers cannot efficiently drive traffic and engagement
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges duplicative pages into unified pages while preserving the comprehensive domain coverage. By consolidating equivalent concept pages, it creates a single efficient access point that maintains broad concept coverage but eliminates the fragmentation that hindered traffic and engagement efficiency for third-party developers and advertisers.

AI summary
Equivalent concepts expressed across multiple domains are matched and associated with a metapage generated by a social networking system. User preferences expressed on multiple domains, represented as pages in a social networking system, may be organized by concept and shared with advertisers, third-party developers, and other users of the social networking system using the metapages generated for the concepts. Aggregated social information may be presented to users of the social networking system viewing a page associated with a metapage. Information presented on external websites may be used to link pages across multiple domains with a metapage generated on the social networking system, presenting the information on other external websites associated with the metapage as links on the pages associated with the metapage. Feedback from users may be used to include or exclude pages from being associated with a generated metapage.
