Utilize machine learning to generate a parameter ranking and construct a digital twin of a cell of computing devices that accessed digital content, emphasizing similarity in demographics and behavior to reduce bias and resource consumption.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional control cells are used to determine digital content performance, then performance measurement can be conducted, but errors arise due to differences in user profiles and behaviors between exposed and control cells

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperformance measurement accuracyVSAvoidmeasurement reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a digital twin of the control cell that copies the demographic and behavioral characteristics of the exposed cell. This twin is generated using machine learning models that replicate user profiles, device attributes, and interaction patterns, enabling accurate performance measurement without the biases inherent in traditional control cells

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the control cell parameters by applying machine learning-derived adjustments based on the exposed cell's actual characteristics. Instead of using a static or randomly generated control cell, the system dynamically adjusts parameters such as user demographics, device types, and behavioral patterns to match the exposed cell, thereby eliminating measurement errors

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If compensation algorithms are used to correct biases in control cells, then measurement accuracy can be improved, but processing resources and power consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperformance measurement accuracyVSAvoidprocessing resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-generating a digital twin of the control cell using machine learning models before the performance measurement process begins. This twin is created in advance with all necessary demographic and behavioral characteristics already matched to the exposed cell, eliminating the need for resource-intensive compensation algorithms during the actual measurement process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical system of iterative compensation algorithms with a machine learning-based digital twin generation system. Instead of continuously adjusting and compensating for biases during measurement, the system uses trained ML models to directly generate a matched control cell representation, significantly reducing computational overhead and power consumption

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