Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for search engine optimization and online advertising lack efficient tools for collecting and scoring online references across various internet channels, making it difficult to assess the visibility and effectiveness of online advertisements and organic search results.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for indexing online references of an entity, involving a deep index engine that assembles parameters for crawling the internet, worker nodes that perform searches and evaluate signals, and coordinators that manage job queues, to construct a reverse index and calculate search engine optimization scores.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If comprehensive crawling of multiple internet channels is performed to collect online references, then the quantity and quality of collected reference data increases, but the time required for data collection and processing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of online reference dataVSAvoidtime for data collection and processing
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the internet crawling task by dividing it into multiple channels (search engines, social media, forums, etc.) and processing them through separate worker nodes. This allows parallel processing of different internet channels simultaneously, reducing total processing time while maintaining comprehensive data collection across all channels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining the set of internet channels to crawl and pre-establishing the scoring criteria for evaluating references. This preparation phase allows the actual crawling and processing to proceed more efficiently without repeated decision-making during execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple internet channels are searched for online references, then the comprehensiveness of reference collection improves, but the complexity of the crawling and evaluation system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensive reference collection capabilityVSAvoidcrawling and evaluation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs a universal crawling framework that can handle multiple internet channels through a common architecture. The same core processing logic evaluates references from diverse sources (search engines, social media, forums) using unified scoring criteria, reducing the need for separate specialized systems for each channel type.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces intermediary components including a job queue manager that coordinates between the deep index engine and worker nodes, and a standardized reference evaluation module that acts as a mediator between diverse data sources and the final scoring output. These intermediaries simplify the overall system architecture by providing standardized interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If deep indexing of online references is performed to evaluate search engine optimization scores, then the precision of SEO scoring improves, but the computational resources and time required increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprecision of SEO scoringVSAvoidcomputational resources consumed
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial action by selectively crawling and evaluating only the most relevant internet channels and reference types for each SEO analysis task. Rather than processing every possible online reference uniformly, the system prioritizes channels and references that are most likely to impact SEO scores, reducing computational resource consumption while maintaining sufficient scoring precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

One example embodiment includes a method for indexing online references of an entity. The method includes identifying one or more channels of the Internet to be searched for references to an entity and identifying one or more signals to be evaluated within each of the one or more channels. The method also includes crawling the Internet for online references to the entity, wherein crawling the Internet comprises searching the one or more channels of the Internet for references to the entity and evaluating the one or more signals. The method further includes constructing a reverse index of the references, wherein the reverse index is based on each channel in which a reference is found and the one or more signals evaluated for the reference.
