Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional video ad systems fail to effectively re-target users with additional ads after initial video ad engagement, leading to opportunity costs and reduced brand awareness, as users find it difficult to replay or access related content.

Innovation Solution

A system that associates video advertisements with a playlist, monitors user interactions, and presents a subset of unwatched video ads in an ordered manner, based on user interest and context, to increase engagement and revenue through targeted ad delivery.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a single video ad is displayed to a user, then the ad delivery process is simple, but the opportunity to increase brand awareness and purchase activity is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvead revenueVSAvoidad delivery system
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments video advertisements into playlists with multiple ads rather than displaying a single ad. This allows the system to deliver multiple relevant ads to users who show interest, thereby increasing brand awareness and purchase activity without overwhelming complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by monitoring user interactions with video ads in advance, determining user interest levels before delivering additional ads. This allows the system to proactively present relevant ads from the playlist to users who are likely to convert, maximizing revenue opportunities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If users can easily replay and access related video ad content, then user engagement increases, but the system complexity and resource requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction with adsVSAvoidcontent delivery system
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal playlist structure that can serve multiple functions: displaying initial ads, providing replay capability, and delivering additional related ads. This multi-functional approach increases user engagement without requiring separate systems for each function

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms by monitoring user interactions with video ads to determine interest levels. This feedback loop allows the system to dynamically adjust ad delivery, presenting additional ads from the playlist to engaged users while maintaining ease of access to related content

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
