Solution Overview

Problem

Current multimedia service platforms face challenges in efficiently storing and delivering advertisement data due to excessive material data and redundant uploads, leading to reduced click-through rates and increased traffic waste, as they struggle to manage large amounts of multimedia data and historical data accumulation.

Innovation Solution

The proposed solution involves an apparatus and method for processing multimedia service data by storing multimedia presentation frames in separate rows of a service data table, selecting material data from a database based on configuration information, and associating it with the corresponding rows, allowing for efficient reuse of material data and targeted delivery based on user behavior characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If all material data and links are stored in a single row of the advertisement data table, then the data structure is simple, but the storage capacity is limited and cannot accommodate excessive material data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata table structureVSAvoidstorage capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the advertisement data table into multiple rows, with each row capable of storing a portion of the material data and links. This segmentation allows the system to accommodate excessive material data by distributing it across multiple rows, thereby increasing the overall storage capacity while maintaining a simple and organized data structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If the same material data is uploaded separately for each advertisement, then the data integrity is maintained, but the upload efficiency is reduced and resource is wasted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata integrityVSAvoidupload efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges duplicate material data by storing it in a single location within the advertisement data table. When the same material data is referenced by multiple advertisements, it is uploaded once and then referenced by multiple rows through shared identifiers or links. This combining approach maintains data integrity while significantly improving upload efficiency and reducing resource waste.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Speed

If advertisement data is pushed to clients when users go online, then the delivery is timely, but historical data accumulation reduces click-through rates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedelivery timingVSAvoidclick-through rate
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary filtering and selection of advertisement data before pushing to clients. Instead of pushing all accumulated historical data, the system pre-processes the data to identify and prioritize relevant advertisements based on user profiles, behavior patterns, and engagement metrics. This preliminary action ensures that only high-quality, relevant advertisements are delivered, maintaining high click-through rates while preserving timely delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Quantity of substance

If all accumulated advertisement data is pushed to clients, then the data completeness is ensured, but the traffic is wasted and user experience is degraded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata completenessVSAvoidtraffic waste
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by pushing only a subset of the accumulated advertisement data to each client, rather than all data. The system selectively pushes advertisements that are most relevant to each user based on filtering criteria, user preferences, and engagement probability. This approach ensures sufficient data completeness for effective advertising while minimizing traffic waste and improving user experience by avoiding information overload.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Interface circuitry of an apparatus receives a first service data packet that includes at least first information for a first multimedia presentation frame and second information for a second multimedia presentation frame. Processing circuitry of the apparatus stores the first information and the second information in different rows having different row number in a service data table. Then the processing circuitry determines, from a preset database, first material data for the first multimedia presentation frame and second material data for the multimedia presentation frame based on material configuration information in the first service data packet. Further the processing circuitry associates the first material data and the second material data in a material data table with different row numbers in the service data table and generates first multimedia service data corresponding to the first service data packet based on the association between the service data table and the material data table.
