Solution Overview

Problem

Current web technologies lack the ability to effectively simulate and dynamically render personalized content on web pages based on user-specific characteristics and geographic location, limiting the customization and relevance of content for end users.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a system that allows authors to define segments associated with user-specific characteristics and geographic locations, using a simulation application to preview and adjust personalized content on an author device, and dynamically rendering web pages with personalized content based on these segments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If personalized content is dynamically rendered based on user characteristics and geographic location, then content relevance and user experience are improved, but system complexity and implementation difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent personalizationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments users into distinct groups based on user characteristics (e.g., demographics, behavior patterns) and geographic locations. By dividing the user base into segments, the system can apply different content personalization rules to each segment, making the complex task of personalization more manageable and systematic while improving content relevance for each group.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining user segments and their associated characteristics before actual content delivery. Authors can pre-configure segment criteria, content rules, and personalization parameters in advance. This preliminary setup reduces real-time processing complexity during content rendering while maintaining high adaptability to individual user needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Manufacturing precision

If simulation application is used to preview and adjust personalized content, then content accuracy and author control are improved, but processing time and operational complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The simulation application creates a copy or preview version of the personalized content based on defined user segments and characteristics. Authors can review this simulated content before final deployment, allowing them to verify accuracy and make adjustments without affecting actual content delivery. This copying mechanism enables precise content control while minimizing the time impact on live operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The simulation function allows authors to selectively simulate content for specific segments or characteristics rather than requiring complete simulation of all possible user variations. This partial action approach enables authors to focus verification efforts on critical content areas, achieving sufficient accuracy without the excessive time cost of comprehensive simulation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Measurement precision

If content is personalized based on multiple user characteristics including geographic location, then content relevance is improved, but data processing requirements and system resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser characterizationVSAvoiddata processing
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by tailoring content characteristics to specific user segments and geographic locations. Different content attributes (e.g., language, currency, cultural references, product recommendations) are customized according to the local characteristics of each user segment. This approach improves measurement precision in user characterization by focusing detailed personalization only where it adds value, rather than uniformly processing all user data with the same level of detail.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

One exemplary embodiment involves simulating personalized content included on a web page based on user characteristics comprising at least a geographic location. The embodiment involves receiving a plurality of user characteristics comprising at least the geographic location and determining, based on the user characteristics, the personalized content to include on the web page. The embodiment further involves causing one or more actions to dynamically refresh the web page to include the determined personalized content.
