Solution Overview

Problem

Merchants face challenges in targeting advertisements to consumer plant growers with specific needs, leading to frustration and lost sales, while consumers lack a platform to efficiently access and solicit plant growth scripts that meet their interests or requirements.

Innovation Solution

A script offering system acts as an intermediary, allowing merchants to advertise plant growth scripts to consumer plant growers based on expressed needs or interests, and enabling consumers to solicit bids for scripts using sensor data and conditional rules, with automated execution of actions to optimize plant growth.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If merchants rely on traditional advertising and reputation to attract consumers, then brand awareness is improved, but advertising costs and consumer frustration increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetargeted advertising reachVSAvoidadvertising costs
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an automated plant growth script marketplace as an intermediary platform that connects merchants with consumers through targeted script recommendations. Instead of traditional broad advertising, the system uses sensor data and conditional rules to automatically match consumers with relevant plant growth scripts from multiple merchants, reducing advertising costs while improving targeted reach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If consumers are presented with multiple advertising options from different merchants, then choice is improved, but consumer frustration and decision paralysis increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescript selection optionsVSAvoidselection process simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service automation where consumers configure sensor data inputs and conditional rules that automatically evaluate and recommend the most suitable plant growth scripts. This eliminates the need for consumers to manually compare multiple advertising options, as the automated system performs the selection based on objective criteria derived from the consumer's specific plant growth needs and environment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If merchants offer special deals through advertising to expand market share, then sales volume is improved, but consumer frustration and lost revenue from decision paralysis increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesales volumeVSAvoidlost sales revenue
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The marketplace implements feedback loops where sensor data from consumers' plant growth operations continuously informs script performance evaluation. This feedback mechanism allows the system to identify which scripts actually deliver results, enabling merchants to optimize their offerings and consumers to make informed decisions based on proven performance rather than being overwhelmed by promotional deals from multiple merchants.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

This disclosure describes techniques that facilitate the sale and exchange of plant growth systems to consumer plant growers. Particularly, a script offering system may act as an intermediary medium that allows merchants to advertise plant growth scripts to consumer plant growers via an electronic marketplace. In some examples, the script offering system may allow merchants to advertise plant growth scripts to consumer plant growers that have expressed an interest or need for a particular plant growth script. In other examples, the script offering system may allow a consumer plant grower to solicit merchant bids for the sale of plant growth script. A consumer plant grower may solicit bids for plant growth scripts that address specific needs identified via key word inputs or sensor data attributable to an existing plant growth operation that exhibits less than optimal plant growth.
