Solution Overview

Problem

Individuals face challenges in managing their social media presence to align with future goals, as existing methods lack automated tools to assess the impact of messages on personal branding before they are posted, potentially harming future aspirations such as business growth or job prospects.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method that analyzes messages by identifying related content, determining reaction sentiment trends, predicting the effect on personal branding based on future goals, and providing suggestions to modify the message if it is not aligned with those goals before posting it to a social media platform.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual methods (agents or public relations firms) are used to fix personal brand after social media posts, then personal brand can be corrected, but it is reactive and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonal brand managementVSAvoidtime to correct personal brand
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of social media messages before they are posted, predicting their potential impact on personal brand and future goals. This proactive approach prevents harmful posts from being published in the first place, eliminating the need for time-consuming corrective actions by agents or public relations firms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides immediate feedback to users about the predicted effect of their intended social media posts on their personal brand and future goals. This real-time feedback loop allows users to modify or cancel posts that could have negative impacts, enabling continuous optimization of personal brand management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If automated analysis tools are implemented to assess message impact before posting, then time efficiency improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage assessment efficiencyVSAvoidanalysis system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an intermediary analysis layer between the user's intended post and the social media platform. This intermediary component automatically evaluates the message against the user's profile, goals, and brand guidelines, providing a simplified interface that masks the underlying analytical complexity from the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables users to independently assess and optimize their own social media posts using automated analysis tools. By providing self-service capabilities, the system eliminates the need for external agents or public relations firms, improving productivity while the automated nature of the tools keeps operational complexity manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive analysis of related messages and sentiment trends is performed, then prediction accuracy improves, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffect prediction accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis by pre-processing and storing relevant data about the user's profile, goals, and historical message performance. When a user intends to post, the system quickly retrieves and compares the intended message against this pre-prepared data, achieving accurate predictions without time-consuming processing at the moment of posting.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system focuses analysis on the most relevant factors for predicting personal brand impact, such as sentiment trends related to the message topic and the user's specific goals. Rather than analyzing every possible variable, the system identifies and processes only the critical elements that have the greatest impact on prediction accuracy, reducing processing time while maintaining precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Provided are techniques for determining an effect of a message on a personal brand based on future goals. A message is received from an entity for a social media platform. Additional messages related to the message are identified. A reaction sentiment trend is determined for each topic of the additional messages for a period of time. An effect the message has on a personal brand of the entity in future is predicted based on future goals of the entity and based on the reaction sentiment trend for each topic. An indication of whether the message is aligned with the future goals based on the predicted effect is provided. In response to the message being aligned with the future goals, the message is posted to the social media platform. In response to the message not being aligned with the future goals, one or more suggestions to modify the message are provided.
