Solution Overview

Problem

Marketers face challenges in gathering and processing data from diverse social platforms to identify and present consumer trends effectively, as conventional trend data processors are inefficient and fail to recognize consumer desires accurately.

Innovation Solution

The system includes a predictive/aggregation component that obtains trend data from multiple sources, cleans and normalizes it, uses predictive algorithms like AI and machine learning to combine and predict trends, and presents them to users and business owners, allowing consumer demand to influence which trends become popular.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional trend data processors are used to process data from social platforms, then data processing can be performed, but the processing efficiency is low and consumer desires are not accurately recognized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing efficiencyVSAvoidaccuracy of consumer desire recognition
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the data processing function into multiple specialized components: data collection module, data cleaning module, trend identification module, and prediction module. Each component handles a specific aspect of data processing, improving both efficiency and accuracy of consumer desire recognition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that collects data from multiple social platforms, standardizes and cleans the data, then feeds it to trend analysis algorithms. This intermediary layer acts as a bridge between raw social media data and consumer desire insights, improving processing efficiency while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Quantity of substance

If data is gathered from multiple heterogeneous social platforms, then more comprehensive trend data can be obtained, but data aggregation and synthesis become more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevolume of trend dataVSAvoidcomplexity of data aggregation system
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs a universal data processing framework that can handle multiple types of social media data from different platforms through standardized interfaces. The data cleaning and normalization module applies consistent processing rules across heterogeneous data sources, reducing system complexity while maintaining comprehensive data collection.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms heterogeneous social media data into a standardized format by changing parameters such as data structure, normalization scales, and classification categories. This parameter transformation enables efficient aggregation of diverse data sources without increasing system complexity proportionally.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Loss of information

If trend data is processed and synthesized, then useful information can be produced, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveusefulness of trend informationVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary data cleaning, normalization, and validation during the data collection phase rather than after complete data gathering. By preparing data in advance, the system reduces the time required for subsequent trend synthesis and analysis while maintaining information quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements continuous data processing where trend analysis operates on incoming data streams in near-real-time rather than batch processing. This continuous action maintains information usefulness while minimizing processing delays through optimized algorithmic operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

AI summary

Predicting trends may include obtaining trend data from two or more sources, extracting meaning from the trend data including meaning from a plurality of trends, and grouping trends from the plurality of trends such that trends that have equivalent meaning but not identical expression are grouped together as an aggregated trend.
