Solution Overview

Problem

Website operators face challenges in maximizing user attention on retail product webpages, as existing methods fail to effectively personalize content based on individual user preferences, leading to suboptimal engagement and sales.

Innovation Solution

A computing system generates a personalized portal interface for users by analyzing user interaction data and preferences, dynamically altering webpage content to display products that align with user interests, using a module that includes a user preferences database, products database, and query and modeling logic to create a user-specific interface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a standardized webpage interface is used for all users, then the system complexity is low and ease of manufacture is high, but user engagement and attention are suboptimal due to lack of personalization

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by collecting user interaction data, analyzing preferences, and generating personalized interface configurations before the user actually visits the webpage. The computing system stores user data and preferences in advance, so that when a user accesses the portal, the personalized interface is already prepared and can be delivered immediately, reducing the perceived complexity during user interaction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically analyzing user interaction data and generating personalized interface configurations without requiring manual intervention from operators. The query and modeling logic autonomously processes user data, identifies preferences, and creates customized portal interfaces, allowing the system to adapt to individual users automatically

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If personalized content is generated for each user, then user engagement and sales are improved, but the complexity of content delivery and system architecture increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesales conversionVSAvoidcontent delivery complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the user base into individual profiles with distinct preference data stored in a user preferences database. Each user receives a customized portal interface based on their specific segment characteristics, allowing personalized content delivery without requiring complex manual configuration for each individual user

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The computing system acts as an intermediary between the standardized webpage template and the individual user preferences. It receives user interaction data, processes it through query and modeling logic, and generates personalized interface configurations that bridge the gap between fixed webpage structures and dynamic user needs, simplifying the content delivery process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If user interaction data is collected and analyzed in real-time, then content personalization accuracy is improved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepreference accuracyVSAvoidinterface generation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary data collection and preference analysis as users interact with the portal during their visits. User interaction data is captured and stored in real-time, and the query and modeling logic begins processing this data during the user session, preparing personalized configurations in advance rather than waiting until the end of the session

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system maintains continuous operation by collecting user interaction data throughout the user's browsing session and continuously refining the personalized interface configuration. The preference analysis and interface generation occur continuously in the background without interrupting the user's browsing experience, ensuring both accuracy and responsiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

AI summary

Among other things, a computing system receives data from a user device. The data may be about one or more users and can indicate one or more content preferences associated with a first user. The computing system also receives provider data from a provider system. The provider data may be about one or more products that are offered for procurement from the provider. The computing system stores the provider data about the one or more products and at least a subset of the data about the one or more users in a memory of the system. The computing system generates a user-specific interface that is provided for output to the user device. The user-specific interface is generated using the data about at least one product and based on at least one content preference of the first user.
