Solution Overview

Problem

Existing recommendation systems face challenges in providing personalized and relevant information to users due to the overwhelming amount of data from various sources, making it difficult for users to find useful recommendations for goods and services.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method and system that obtains feedback data from multiple users, stores it in a searchable database, and uses demographic data to identify and filter media objects for personalized recommendations, incorporating natural language processing and sentiment analysis to enhance the relevance of recommendations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If recommendation systems collect and process data from multiple sources to provide personalized recommendations, then the relevance and personalization of recommendations improve, but the system complexity and data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecommendation relevanceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the recommendation process into distinct modules: data collection from multiple sources, demographic data processing, feedback data analysis, media object identification, and recommendation generation. Each module handles specific tasks independently, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive data processing capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces intermediary components including a demographic data processor that mediates between raw demographic data and recommendation logic, and a feedback data analyzer that serves as an intermediary between user feedback and media object selection. These intermediaries simplify the relationship between diverse data sources and the recommendation engine.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If the system filters and selects media objects based on demographic alignment and feedback data, then the personalization accuracy improves, but the computational time and processing resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization accuracyVSAvoidcomputational time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing demographic data into structured formats, pre-analyzing feedback data to extract key patterns, and pre-identifying potential media objects before the actual recommendation request. This preliminary preparation reduces computational time during the recommendation generation phase while maintaining high personalization accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If the system processes and analyzes large amounts of feedback data from multiple users, then the quality of personalized recommendations improves, but the data storage and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecommendation qualityVSAvoiddata volume
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential and relevant features from large volumes of feedback data and demographic information. Instead of processing all raw data, the system identifies and extracts key patterns, preferences, and demographic characteristics that directly influence recommendation quality, thereby reducing data storage and processing requirements while maintaining recommendation reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

Embodiments of the invention relate to a computer-implemented method and system for providing personalized recommendations for a target user based at least on stored data about the target user. The method comprises obtaining a plurality of feedback data from a plurality of users, wherein the feedback data comprises an indication of a media object, a response obtained from target user related to the feedback data, and at least one demographic data element associated with the target user. A set of personalized recommendations for the target user are identified based at least on stored data about the target user and the feedback data related to the user. The personalized recommendations system identifies media objects to potentially provide to the target user, and selects or filters the identified media objects to form a set of personalized media objects associated with the set of personalized recommendations.
