Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional online advertising systems fail to effectively reach the intended target audience on mobile devices due to formatting issues, requiring separate advertisements for mobile and web-based platforms, which can lead to poor display and reduced effectiveness.

Innovation Solution

An integrated system that includes an advertisement server, classification module, and conversion module to identify mobile device types and convert web-based text ads into formats suitable for mobile devices, allowing for unified management and delivery of advertisements across platforms.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If web-based text ads are delivered to mobile devices without conversion, then the advertising system maintains simplicity, but the ads display poorly and fail to reach the intended target audience effectively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvead delivery effectivenessVSAvoidad conversion system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary classification of mobile device types and pre-conversion of web-based text ads to mobile-friendly formats before delivery. The classification module identifies device characteristics in advance, and the conversion module transforms ads accordingly, ensuring ads are ready for effective display on mobile devices without requiring real-time processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediary modules (classification module and conversion module) that mediate between the web-based advertising system and mobile devices. These intermediaries translate web-based ads into mobile-compatible formats, resolving the incompatibility between web ad formats and mobile display requirements while maintaining system integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If separate advertisements are created for mobile and web-based platforms, then each platform receives optimized content, but the advertising management system becomes more complex and requires dual ad creation processes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplatform-specific ad optimizationVSAvoidad management system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a universal web-based text ad format that can be automatically adapted to multiple platforms. The single ad creation process produces ads that work for both web and mobile platforms through automatic classification and conversion, eliminating the need for separate ad creation while maintaining platform-specific optimization.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The conversion module dynamically changes parameters of the ad content based on the target platform characteristics. It modifies ad format, size, and presentation parameters according to the classified mobile device type, allowing a single source ad to be optimally displayed across different platforms without requiring separate ad creations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If web-based text ads are displayed on mobile devices without conversion, then the system operates with minimal processing, but the ads are displayed poorly and advertising reach is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertising reachVSAvoidad conversion processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs ad conversion in advance before delivery to mobile devices. By classifying device types and converting ads to appropriate formats beforehand, the system eliminates time-consuming real-time conversion processes while ensuring ads are ready for immediate effective display, thus improving advertising reach without significant time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Systems and methods for adaptation of content to mobile devices. A mobile device type can be identified based upon a request originating from the mobile device. Content can also be identified based upon the request. The content can be converted based upon the mobile device type and the converted content can be served to the mobile device.
