Solution Overview

Problem

Existing marketing campaigns fail to effectively acquire relevant information about participants and optimize product/service engagement, as some participants are not interested in every offering, leading to inefficiencies in network interactions.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that allows users to select targeted actions through a user interface, enabling personalized interactions and data collection, which are then executed by the system or agents.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If the business entity conducts marketing campaigns to acquire information about participants, then engagement and data acquisition are improved, but network interactions become inefficient when participants are not interested in every offering

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverelevant information acquisitionVSAvoidnetwork interaction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the marketing campaign into multiple discrete product/service offerings and allows participants to selectively engage with specific segments based on their interests. This is implemented through the user selectable mechanism that presents multiple targeted actions separately, enabling participants to choose only the offerings they are interested in, thereby reducing unnecessary network interactions while maintaining comprehensive information acquisition capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adapts the marketing campaign based on participant selections. When users interact with the user selectable mechanism, the system adjusts subsequent network interactions to focus only on relevant product/services. This dynamic adaptation transforms static broad-based marketing into flexible, interest-driven engagements, improving network efficiency by eliminating redundant communications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system provides comprehensive product/service offerings to all participants, then coverage and engagement opportunities are improved, but network bandwidth and resources are wasted on uninterested participants

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveengagement coverageVSAvoidnetwork resource utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts the essential selection mechanism from the comprehensive offering. Instead of broadcasting all products/services to every participant, the user selectable mechanism extracts and presents only the relevant selection options to users who express interest. This extraction approach maintains comprehensive coverage capability while eliminating wasteful network resource expenditure on uninterested participants.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables participants to self-select their interests through the user selectable mechanism. Users actively indicate their preferences by selecting targeted actions, which then triggers tailored network interactions. This self-service approach replaces passive broad-cast marketing with active interest-driven engagements, improving network resource utilization by focusing bandwidth only on relevant content delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Extent of automation

If the business entity uses automated marketing systems, then campaign delivery is improved, but user engagement is reduced when participants are not interested in the offerings

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecampaign delivery efficiencyVSAvoiduser engagement quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by presenting the user selectable mechanism before initiating automated campaign delivery. Users first indicate their interests through the selection interface, and only then does the automated system activate targeted product/service offerings. This preliminary user input ensures that subsequent automated deliveries are highly relevant, maintaining high engagement quality while preserving automation efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback loops where user selections through the user selectable mechanism directly influence automated campaign delivery. The feedback from user interactions is used to dynamically adjust which products/services are automatically delivered to which participants. This feedback mechanism ensures automated delivery remains highly relevant to user interests, preventing engagement degradation while maintaining automation benefits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A system including a computing device with at least one processing device and at least one memory device, wherein the computing device executes computer-readable instructions, and a network operatively connecting the computing device to at least one user device. Upon execution of the computer-readable instructions, the at least one processing device is configured to provide, via the network, a user selectable mechanism. The user selectable mechanism is configured to permit at least one user to select at least one targeted action. The user selectable mechanism is displayed, via a graphical user interface, on the at least one user device. The at least one processing device is configured to initiate the at least one targeted action when the user selectable mechanism is engaged by the user.
