Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems fail to effectively select and display search queries with associated data based on advertising revenue, leading to suboptimal user experiences and revenue generation.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that receive a request for data associated with search terms, identify relevant data and search queries, determine advertising revenue for these queries, and select queries with higher advertising revenue for display, generating a graphical user interface to showcase this information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If search queries are displayed based on traditional relevance criteria, then user experience is maintained at acceptable levels, but advertising revenue is suboptimal

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertising revenueVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the selection parameter from traditional relevance criteria to advertising revenue-based criteria. The system determines advertising revenue amounts for search queries and selects queries based on these revenue amounts, thereby transforming the optimization objective to maximize advertising revenue while maintaining acceptable user experience through relevance-based filtering

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If all search queries are displayed regardless of revenue potential, then user engagement is maximized, but revenue generation is suboptimal

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverevenue generationVSAvoidnumber of displayed queries
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the selection criterion from quantity-based to revenue-based parameter optimization. By determining advertising revenue amounts for each search query and selecting queries based on these revenue amounts, the system maximizes revenue generation while maintaining a manageable number of displayed queries through relevance-based filtering

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating the treatment of search queries based on their individual revenue potential. Each query is evaluated and selected based on its specific advertising revenue characteristics, allowing high-revenue queries to be prioritized while maintaining overall quality through relevance-based criteria

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Productivity

If search queries are selected based on advertising revenue, then revenue is improved, but query relevance may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertising revenueVSAvoidquery relevance
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the primary selection parameter to advertising revenue while maintaining relevance as a filtering criterion. By determining revenue amounts and selecting queries based on these amounts while still requiring relevance to search terms, the system achieves revenue optimization without completely sacrificing query relevance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite selection criterion that combines both advertising revenue and relevance considerations. The system uses both parameters to determine query selection, effectively creating a hybrid evaluation model that balances revenue generation with maintaining acceptable query relevance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

AI summary

A method performed by one or more processing devices, comprising: receiving a request for data associated with search terms; identifying, in a storage device, the data associated with the search terms; identifying search queries associated with the search terms; determining amounts of advertising revenue for at least a plurality of the search queries; and selecting, from the plurality of the search queries and based on the amounts of advertising revenue, one or more search queries for display with the data associated with the search terms.
