Solution Overview

Problem

Current advertisement methods on mobile vehicles, such as buses, fail to effectively target specific audiences based on demographics and location, leading to reduced advertisement effectiveness due to indiscriminate content delivery and repetitive advertisements at the same locations.

Innovation Solution

A system that uses M2M communication to collect and analyze demographic data of passengers at bus stops, allowing for the selection and transmission of targeted advertisement content to mobile vehicles, ensuring that advertisements are displayed based on the gender, age, and number of audience members, and adjusting display times and frequencies accordingly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If advertisement contents are provided to many and unspecified persons in an indiscriminate manner, then the coverage of advertisement is wide, but the advertisement effect is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoverage of advertisementVSAvoidadvertisement effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The advertisement system segments the audience based on demographic information (age, gender) and divides advertisement content into different categories. The advertisement server selects and transmits specific advertisement contents matched to the segmented audience characteristics, rather than broadcasting the same content to everyone indiscriminately.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies local quality by tailoring advertisement content to specific local conditions - the demographic composition of passengers at different bus stops. Each location receives customized advertisement content matching its unique audience characteristics, improving relevance and effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Duration of action of stationary object

If the same advertisement is continuously displayed at the same location, then the advertisement coverage is maintained, but the advertisement effect is reduced due to audience fatigue

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertisement coverage continuityVSAvoidadvertisement effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of stationary objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The advertisement system implements periodic action by continuously monitoring demographic information and periodically updating advertisement content. When the audience composition changes or after a certain time period, the system selects and transmits new advertisement contents matched to the current audience characteristics, preventing continuous display of the same advertisement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies dynamics by making advertisement content adaptive and changeable based on real-time or updated demographic information. The advertisement server dynamically selects content that matches current audience characteristics, allowing the advertisement display to evolve with changing audience composition rather than remaining static.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Measurement precision

If demographic information collection and analysis systems are implemented, then advertisement targeting precision is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertisement targeting precisionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The advertisement server acts as an intermediary that handles the complex tasks of demographic information collection, analysis, and advertisement selection. Mobile vehicles and bus stops use simple devices to collect and transmit basic demographic data, while the centralized server performs the sophisticated processing and content matching, distributing complexity appropriately.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by continuously collecting demographic information from bus stops and mobile vehicles, analyzing this data to select appropriate advertisement content, transmitting the selected content back to the vehicles, and monitoring the results. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables precise targeting while automating the complex decision-making process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
