Solution Overview

Problem

Existing personalized vehicle content systems often use generic images that do not match users' preferred vehicles, leading to low engagement and inefficient car buying journeys.

Innovation Solution

A system that tracks electronic activities related to vehicle transactions, identifies the user's most preferred vehicle, and generates personalized content including a vehicle image that is a closest match to the preferred vehicle, using machine learning models to enhance accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If generic vehicle images are used in personalized content, then the system complexity is reduced, but user engagement decreases due to poor matching accuracy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidimage matching accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the parameters of image selection by transitioning from static generic images to dynamic images selected based on multiple varying parameters including vehicle make, model, year, color, and user preference data. This allows the system to maintain low complexity while achieving high matching accuracy through parameter-based image selection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates personalized content by copying and selecting from a repository of vehicle images that match specific vehicle attributes. Instead of generating complex custom images, the system copies appropriate images from existing stock based on matched parameters, reducing system complexity while improving accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Measurement precision

If personalized content with matched vehicle images is provided, then user engagement improves, but the complexity of tracking and analyzing electronic activities increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevehicle preference identification accuracyVSAvoidelectronic activity tracking complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies a universal tracking framework that monitors multiple types of electronic activities (page views, search queries, configuration selections) through a single multi-functional mechanism. This universal approach identifies vehicle preferences without requiring separate complex systems for each tracking function

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary preference analysis component that processes raw electronic activity data and translates it into identified vehicle preferences. This intermediary layer simplifies the overall system by handling the complexity of data analysis centrally while keeping other components straightforward

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If a comprehensive image repository with multiple vehicle images is maintained, then the accuracy of finding the closest match improves, but the storage requirements and data management complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclosest match identification accuracyVSAvoidimage repository size
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the image repository by organizing images into categories based on vehicle attributes (make, model, year, color). This segmentation allows the system to maintain a comprehensive repository for accurate matching while managing data efficiently through structured organization and selective retrieval based on matched parameters

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

In some implementations, a personalization system may track electronic activities associated with a user that relate to a prospective vehicle transaction for the user. The personalization system may identify, based on the electronic activities that relate to the prospective vehicle transaction, a most preferred vehicle associated with the user. The personalization system may identify, among a plurality of vehicle images, a vehicle image that is a closest match with respect to the most preferred vehicle. The personalization system may generate personalized content to include in a message to be sent to the user, wherein the personalized content includes the vehicle image that is the closest match with respect to the most preferred vehicle.
