1Measurement precision

If statistical user profiles are used to generate user tags, then the generation process is simple, but the accuracy of user tags is low

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the feature processing into multiple distinct stages: obtaining discrete user data from multiple feature fields, generating intra-field features for each feature field separately, merging these intra-field features to create inter-field features, and finally performing feature crossing to generate user tags. This segmentation allows each stage to be optimized independently, improving overall accuracy while managing complexity through structured organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges features at multiple levels: first merging discrete user data within each feature field to create intra-field features, then merging these intra-field features across different feature fields to create inter-field features, and finally merging these inter-field features through feature crossing to generate comprehensive user tags. This multi-level merging approach ensures that sparse behaviors from different sources are adequately combined to improve tag accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Measurement precision

If discrete user data from multiple feature fields is merged and feature crossing is performed, then the accuracy of user tag generation is improved, but the computational complexity increases

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by first generating intra-field features from discrete user data within each feature field before merging them. This preliminary feature generation organizes and pre-processes the data in a structured manner, reducing the complexity of subsequent merging and feature crossing operations. By preparing features in advance at the intra-field level, the system manages computational complexity while maintaining accuracy improvements.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data processing into distinct feature fields, processing and merging data within each field separately to generate intra-field features before combining them into inter-field features. This segmentation allows for more efficient processing by organizing sparse behaviors into manageable groups, reducing overall processing time while maintaining accuracy in determining user characteristics.
