Solution Overview

Problem

Existing advertising information display systems for mobile telephone terminals are inefficient as they require repeated location information transmission when the user navigates between web pages, leading to inconvenient and ineffective advertising, especially when the user is no longer near the location associated with the stored location information, resulting in reduced user convenience and advertising effectiveness.

Innovation Solution

An advertising information display method and system that utilizes previously obtained terminal location information and terminal ID to select and display neighborhood advertising information from nearby sources, eliminating the need for continuous location updates by associating terminal ID with selected advertising information and calculating ranking based on time and location differences to prioritize display.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If location information is obtained repeatedly when the user navigates between web pages, then advertising information can be provided based on current location, but the operation becomes burdensome and user convenience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of advertising informationVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by obtaining and storing the user's location information in advance, associating it with the terminal ID. This allows the server to retrieve previously obtained location data without requiring repeated user operations, thus maintaining advertising accuracy while improving user convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Device complexity

If only surrounding region information within prescribed range is provided, then the system simplifies information selection, but users may not feel motivated to visit stores that are far away

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidadvertising coverage range
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by providing different types of advertising information based on distance: nearby stores receive priority display with detailed information, while farther stores are still included but with lower priority. This differentiated approach maintains system simplicity while expanding advertising coverage to motivate users to visit farther locations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Ease of operation

If advertising information is displayed based on previously obtained location information, then user convenience improves, but the information becomes ineffective when the user has moved away from the recorded location

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidrelevance of advertising information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements periodic action by automatically updating the user's location information at regular intervals or when triggered by specific events (such as page navigation or time thresholds). This ensures that previously obtained location data is refreshed periodically, maintaining both user convenience and the relevance of advertising information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

4Measurement precision

If the system waits for location information to be transmitted before providing advertising information, then data accuracy is maintained, but time is lost and advertising effectiveness is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelocation data accuracyVSAvoidadvertising delivery time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by obtaining and storing location information in advance, associating it with the terminal ID before advertising information is requested. This eliminates waiting time for location data transmission while maintaining accuracy, as the location data is already captured and stored ready for immediate use in advertising delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
