Solution Overview

Problem

Rich media advertisements often fail to cater to diverse user preferences and device capabilities, leading to suboptimal engagement and high development costs due to the need for multiple versions and frequent updates, which is not cost-effective or feasible for many advertisers.

Innovation Solution

A modular approach to invitational content management, where content is delivered through a content bundle with interchangeable content blocks and rules for assembly, allowing dynamic construction and pricing based on user interaction, enabling personalized experiences and cost adjustments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple versions of advertisements are created to appeal to different user classes, then user engagement and personalization improve, but development costs and manpower requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser personalizationVSAvoiddevelopment complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The advertisement is divided into multiple interchangeable content blocks (video blocks, image blocks, text blocks, interactive blocks) that can be independently selected and assembled. This segmentation allows different combinations of blocks to be created for different user segments without developing entirely separate advertisement versions, reducing development complexity while maintaining personalization capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A single advertisement template with modular content blocks serves multiple user classes and devices simultaneously. The same advertisement structure can be dynamically assembled with different content blocks based on user preferences, device capabilities, and campaign goals, making one advertisement serve universal purposes that previously required multiple specialized versions.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If frequent updates and modifications are made to advertisement units, then campaign performance and relevance improve, but costs and time requirements for making changes increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecampaign flexibilityVSAvoidmodification time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the advertisement into independent content blocks, updates can be made to individual blocks without affecting the entire advertisement. This allows rapid modification of specific content (e.g., replacing a video block with a different promotional video) while maintaining the overall advertisement structure and reducing the time required for campaign adjustments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The advertisement system is designed to be dynamic, allowing real-time or near-real-time updates to content blocks based on campaign performance data, user feedback, or emerging opportunities. The modular architecture enables flexible reconfiguration of advertisement content without requiring complete redesign, facilitating agile campaign management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If content is customized for specific user preferences and device capabilities, then user experience and engagement improve, but the labor intensity and cost of creation increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidcontent creation ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

Content is segmented into standardized block types (video, image, text, interactive elements) with defined interfaces and assembly rules. This standardization allows content creators to work with pre-defined templates and blocks rather than creating custom content from scratch for each user segment, reducing labor intensity while maintaining customization capability through selective assembly of blocks based on user preferences and device capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The present disclosure is related to managing delivery of items of invitational content based on a feature-based model. Specifically, a content delivery system is provided for managing a campaign using a content bundle identifying different content blocks and rules for assembling the content blocks into the items of invitational content. The feature-based model then accrues costs based on content blocks delivered, content blocks accessed, a degree of user interaction with the accessed content blocks, or any combinations thereof. The relative performance of the items can be evaluated by obtaining a ranking based at least on the number of content blocks and a performance of these content blocks. The ranking can then be used to manage future assembly and delivery of items. In some configurations, rules can be provided to specify when particular content items can be included as costs vary.
