Solution Overview

Problem

Electronic-based advertising has not been integrated with cloud-based data storage systems, limiting its effectiveness in targeting users across multiple platforms.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a multi-tenant on-demand database system that allows for the receipt, storage, and distribution of advertisements within cloud-based data storage systems, enabling integration with various services such as social networking, collaboration platforms, and mobile messaging services to target specific users.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If electronic-based advertising is used independently without cloud-based data storage integration, then advertising delivery is simple, but user targeting effectiveness across multiple platforms is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser targeting effectivenessVSAvoidsystem integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges electronic-based advertising delivery with cloud-based data storage systems by integrating advertisement data into the multi-tenant database. This allows the advertising system to leverage existing cloud infrastructure and data resources, improving user targeting effectiveness across multiple platforms while avoiding the complexity of building a separate standalone advertising system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The multi-tenant database system is designed to serve multiple functions: storing tenant data, managing user information, and distributing advertisements. By making the database system universal, the patent enables improved user targeting across different platforms without requiring separate specialized systems for each function.

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

2Productivity

If a multi-tenant database system is implemented for advertisement distribution, then advertising distribution efficiency and user targeting improve, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertising distribution efficiencyVSAvoidmulti-tenant system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic tenant-specific configurations within the multi-tenant database system, allowing each tenant to customize advertisement distribution parameters, target audiences, and content preferences. This dynamic approach enables efficient and personalized advertising distribution across multiple channels while maintaining a unified underlying system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments advertisement distribution by tenant, allowing each tenant to have customized advertising campaigns, target audiences, and distribution channels. This segmentation enables efficient targeted advertising for each tenant while leveraging the shared infrastructure of the multi-tenant database, thus improving productivity without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If advertisement data is stored in cloud-based database, then data accessibility and distribution capability improve, but data security and tenant isolation requirements become more challenging

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedistribution capabilityVSAvoiddata security and tenant isolation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements tenant-specific data isolation within the shared cloud database by assigning unique identifiers and access permissions to each tenant. This allows the system to maintain high distribution capability across multiple platforms while ensuring that each tenant's advertisement data and user information remain securely isolated and accessible only to authorized users and processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
