Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for delivering product recommendations in communication content are often ineffective as they are either tagged on or presented subordinate, failing to capture users' attention effectively.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for automatically generating product recommendations by analyzing communication content, identifying relevant product information, and distributing targeted recommendations using a product recommendation generator and a recommendation card distribution engine, leveraging machine learning for user targeting.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If product recommendations are tagged on or presented as subordinate information in communication content, then the recommendation can be delivered to users, but the recommendation fails to capture users' attention effectively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecommendation deliveryVSAvoiduser attention loss
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the communication content into distinct sections: a main communication message and a separate recommendation section. This segmentation allows the recommendation to be visually and structurally distinct from the main content, enabling it to capture user attention without being lost in the subordinate information. The recommendation is presented as an independent element that can be noticed and acted upon separately from the primary communication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimensional aspect to recommendation presentation by using visual differentiation, such as colored backgrounds, distinct formatting, or separate visual blocks within the communication interface. This dimensional change transforms the recommendation from flat, subordinate text to a multi-dimensional, visually prominent element that stands out against the main communication content, thereby capturing user attention effectively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Device complexity

If recommendations are presented as subordinate information, then the communication structure remains simple, but the recommendation effectiveness is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication structureVSAvoidrecommendation effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the communication into segmented sections with clear visual separation between the main communication message and the recommendation. This segmentation maintains overall structural simplicity while creating distinct visual zones that enhance recommendation effectiveness. The segmented structure allows users to easily distinguish between the primary message and the recommendation, improving engagement without creating excessive complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality enhancement by using specific visual treatments (such as colored backgrounds, bold formatting, or distinctive icons) only in the recommendation sections, while keeping the rest of the communication content in its standard format. This localized differentiation maintains the simplicity of the overall communication structure while significantly improving the visibility and effectiveness of the recommendations through targeted visual emphasis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Adaptability or versatility

If automated recommendation generation is implemented, then recommendation personalization can be improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecommendation personalizationVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an automated recommendation generation module that acts as an intermediary between the communication content and the user. This intermediary component analyzes user data, communication content, and product information to automatically generate personalized recommendations. By placing this intelligent processing layer in between the raw data and the user interface, the system achieves high personalization adaptability while managing complexity through a dedicated, modular intermediary component rather than distributing complexity throughout the entire system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The automated recommendation system performs self-service by automatically analyzing user preferences, communication content, and product information to generate recommendations without requiring manual intervention. The system uses built-in algorithms and data processing capabilities to autonomously create personalized recommendations, reducing the need for complex manual configuration and user input. This self-service approach improves personalization adaptability while keeping the user interface simple and the overall system complexity manageable through automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

The present teaching relates to method, system, medium, and implementations for product recommendation. When communication content is received from a service provider operating on a platform, information related to a product is identified from a webpage accessed based on a link included in the communication content. Based on the information related to the product, a recommendation of the product is generated and sent to some service providers on different platforms for distribution of the recommendation to intended targets.
