Solution Overview

Problem

Current tag management systems face challenges such as performance drainage, redundant or incorrect tag applications, and lack of real-time data processing, leading to inefficient analytics and marketing delays, along with inflexible reporting and poor visitor profile consistency.

Innovation Solution

A tag management system that deploys a universal tag container to content sites, allowing for easy integration of third-party tags without manual coding, providing real-time data processing and highly configurable visitor models for targeted reporting, and utilizing persistent identifiers for visitor stitching across devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If manual tag insertion by developers is used, then tag integration is possible, but IT costs and device complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetag integration easeVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a tag management system as an intermediary layer between developers and tag implementation. This system provides a graphical user interface that allows marketers to configure and deploy tags without requiring manual coding, thereby reducing IT costs and simplifying the integration process while maintaining professional-grade tag functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The tag management system enables marketers to independently configure, deploy, and manage tags through a user-friendly interface without requiring developer intervention for each tag insertion. This self-service capability reduces dependency on IT resources and lowers operational costs while maintaining tag effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Quantity of substance

If multiple tags are deployed for analytics, then data collection capability improves, but site performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata collection capacityVSAvoidsite performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent consolidates multiple tag functionalities into a single tag management system that handles multiple analytics providers and tracking scenarios through one unified deployment structure. This merging approach reduces the overall tag footprint on the website while maintaining comprehensive data collection capabilities across multiple analytics platforms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The tag management system provides universal functionality that supports multiple analytics providers, tracking scenarios, and data collection requirements through a single platform. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate tag implementations for each analytics need, thereby improving site performance while maintaining robust data collection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Measurement precision

If real-time data processing is implemented, then reporting accuracy improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereporting accuracyVSAvoidprocessing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The tag management system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring tracking parameters, data collection rules, and processing logic before data generation occurs. This upfront configuration enables real-time data processing with high accuracy without requiring complex runtime processing systems, as the processing framework is already established and optimized.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Adaptability or versatility

If visitor profiles are segmented across devices, then marketing targeting improves, but data management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemarketing targeting flexibilityVSAvoidprofile management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements segmentation by dividing visitor profiles into distinct segments based on device type, behavior patterns, and interaction characteristics. This segmentation approach enables targeted marketing campaigns for different device groups while maintaining a unified management system that handles all segments through standardized processes, thereby reducing overall management complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Embodiments of the systems described herein can implement one or more visitor tearing processes. Visitor tearing can include, among other things, one or more processes by which multiple visitors that may appear to be the same visitor may be separated into different visitor profiles due to the leveraging of one or more unique persistent identifiers.
