Solution Overview

Problem

Mobile device users face difficulties in accessing and utilizing search technologies due to the inability of current Internet search engines to optimally deliver content tailored for mobile communication facilities, which are limited by display constraints, query entry challenges, and network speed issues.

Innovation Solution

A method and system utilizing wireless provider data to analyze mobile web browser activities, create user profiles based on these analyses, and present relevant content to mobile communication facilities, including sponsored content, by associating user profiles with demographic, transactional, contextual, and usage history data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If Internet search engines are used for mobile devices, then search functionality is provided, but content delivery is not optimized for mobile display constraints and network limitations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent delivery optimizationVSAvoidmobile search usability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates user profiles with localized characteristics specific to mobile browsing behavior, analyzing browse history, device type, and interaction patterns to deliver content optimized for each user's specific mobile context rather than generic search results

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adapts content delivery based on real-time analysis of user browse behavior, device characteristics, and interaction patterns, making the search experience flexible and responsive to changing mobile conditions rather than static

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Loss of information

If user browse behavior is analyzed to create profiles, then personalized content delivery is achieved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization accuracyVSAvoidprofile analysis system
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically analyzing user browse behavior, device characteristics, and interaction patterns without requiring manual input from users, creating profiles dynamically based on observed behavior rather than complex manual configuration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary profiling system that sits between the search engine and mobile device, analyzing behavior patterns and translating them into personalized content delivery decisions, simplifying the overall system architecture by centralizing the analysis function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If mobile-specific search capabilities are developed, then mobile optimization is improved, but compatibility with existing Internet search infrastructure is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemobile environment adaptationVSAvoidsearch system architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal profiling system that works across multiple mobile devices and platforms, analyzing browse behavior patterns that are common to mobile browsing regardless of specific device type, making the solution broadly applicable without requiring device-specific implementations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments the search functionality into distinct components: behavior analysis, profile creation, and content delivery optimization, allowing each component to be developed and optimized independently while maintaining compatibility with existing Internet search infrastructure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
