Solution Overview

Problem

Current web analytics tools fail to accurately account for dynamic web content, leading to misidentifications and errors in webpage zone analysis, resulting in unreliable data and varying analyses across sessions and webpages.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for identifying and correcting webpage zone target misidentifications by clustering webpage nodes based on zoning information, generating correction suggestions for misidentifications, and applying these suggestions to improve zone identification accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If automated zone analysis is performed on dynamic web content, then zone identification speed is improved, but identification accuracy deteriorates due to layout variations and mischaracterizations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvezone identification speedVSAvoidzone identification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback by detecting zone target misidentifications through clustering analysis and generating fix suggestions that correct erroneous zone classifications. The feedback loop identifies when dynamic content causes mischaracterizations and automatically corrects them, resolving the accuracy issue while maintaining automated processing speed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional rule-based zone identification mechanics with machine learning-based clustering algorithms. This substitution enables the system to adapt to dynamic web content and layout variations automatically, improving both speed and accuracy by using probabilistic patterns rather than rigid mechanical rules

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Device complexity

If traditional zone analysis methods are used, then processing simplicity is maintained, but reliability deteriorates due to misidentifications and errors in dynamic content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis method simplicityVSAvoiddata reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an intermediary clustering analysis layer between traditional zone analysis and final results. This intermediary detects misidentifications by comparing clustered zone patterns against expected targets and generates fix suggestions, thereby improving reliability without fundamentally changing the simplicity of the overall analysis workflow

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If automated correction is applied to zone misidentifications, then data accuracy is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvezone identification accuracyVSAvoidcorrection processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary clustering analysis on zone targets before final identification, pre-detecting potential misidentifications by grouping similar zones. This preliminary action allows corrections to be made more efficiently by identifying errors early in the process rather than after complete analysis, reducing overall processing time while maintaining accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
