Solution Overview

Problem

Offsite electronic content delivery systems face challenges in making resource usage per conversion comparable to onsite systems, leading to disparate performance metrics and user interaction inefficiencies.

Innovation Solution

A computerized method is implemented to determine resource usage per conversion for offsite content delivery campaigns, calculating an optimization rate to align offsite and onsite resource usage, selecting campaigns based on this rate, and transmitting optimized content to users for improved interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If offsite content delivery is used to expand reach, then user coverage increases, but resource usage per conversion becomes uncontrolled and performance metrics diverge from onsite systems

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser coverageVSAvoidresource usage per conversion
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the optimization rate parameter to control resource usage per conversion for offsite content. By modifying this parameter based on performance feedback, the system expands offsite user coverage while maintaining resource efficiency comparable to onsite performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism that monitors resource usage per conversion and performance metrics between onsite and offsite content. This feedback is used to adjust the optimization rate, ensuring that expanded offsite reach does not compromise resource efficiency or performance parity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If offsite content delivery is optimized to match onsite performance, then performance metrics parity is achieved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperformance metrics parityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an optimization rate as an intermediary parameter that mediates between offsite content delivery and onsite performance standards. This single controlling parameter simplifies the complexity of achieving performance parity while maintaining reliable metric comparison across platforms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Stability of the object's composition

If resource usage per conversion is stabilized for offsite content, then performance metrics become comparable to onsite, but optimization flexibility is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource usage stabilityVSAvoidoptimization flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamic optimization where the optimization rate adjusts in real-time based on performance feedback. This creates a stable baseline for resource usage per conversion while maintaining the flexibility to adapt to changing conditions and optimize performance across different offsite platforms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Systems and methods for optimizing offsite content delivery are provided. A content request is received from a content exchange and multiple candidate content delivery campaigns are identified in response to the content request. A computerized method includes, for each candidate content delivery campaign, determining a resource usage per conversion on a particular content platform, determining a conversion rate on one or more third-party content platforms, and determining a conversion rate on the one or more third-party content platforms. The resource usage per impression is computed based on the resource usage per conversion, the resource usage per selection, and the conversation rate. A particular candidate content delivery campaign is selected from among multiple candidate content delivery campaigns based on the resource usage per impression and the particular candidate content delivery campaign is caused to be transmitted over a computer network to the content exchange.
