Mobile Client Keyword Vector Learning for Privacy-Compliant Targeting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile targeted-content-message systems face challenges in delivering personalized content while respecting user privacy, due to restrictions from regulations like the Graham-Leach-Bliley Act and the European Union's data protection policies, which limit the use of personal information for marketing purposes.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that utilize a mobile client to receive and process keywords, monitor user interaction, estimate keyword interest weights, and display targeted messages based on these weights, ensuring privacy by keeping user profiles local and anonymizing identifiable data through techniques like one-way hash functions and proxy servers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If personal information is collected and used for targeted advertising, then ad campaign effectiveness is improved, but user privacy protection deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces user profile data as an intermediary layer between personal information and advertising delivery. Instead of directly using personal information for targeting, the system processes personal data into anonymized user profiles that contain behavioral patterns and preferences. These profiles serve as mediators that enable targeted advertising while preventing direct exposure of sensitive personal information, thus resolving the contradiction between ad effectiveness and privacy protection.
2Productivity
If user profile data is stored and processed, then targeted content delivery is improved, but data security risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and separates identifiable personal information from user profile data through anonymization processes. By removing directly identifiable elements while retaining behavioral patterns and preferences, the system maintains the utility of user profiles for targeted content delivery while reducing data security risks. The extracted anonymized data can be processed and stored without the same security concerns as raw personal information.
3Measurement precision
If comprehensive user data is collected, then message targeting accuracy is improved, but regulatory compliance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms user data from identifiable personal information into anonymized profile parameters that retain targeting utility while meeting regulatory requirements. By changing the parameter representation from direct personal data to aggregated behavioral patterns, the system achieves both precise message targeting and compliance with privacy regulations such as the Graham-Leach-Bliley Act and EU data protection policies.

AI summary
Methods and systems for determining a suitability for a mobile client to display information are disclosed. A particular exemplary method includes receiving a plurality of sets of one or more first keywords on a mobile client, each set of first keywords associated with one or more respective first messages, monitoring user interaction of the respective first messages on the mobile client, performing learning operations on the mobile client with the first keywords based on monitored user interaction to estimate a set of keyword interest weights, receiving a set of target keywords associated with a target message, and displaying the target message on the mobile client based on the estimated keyword interest weights.
