Solution Overview

Problem

Current content sharing platforms lack effective infrastructure for safe and cost-efficient management of video and image content in virtual environments, including validation of content origin, filtering of offensive material, and group-based content management.

Innovation Solution

A system utilizing server-side AI models for content moderation, including validation of content origin, automatic filtering of offensive material, and asynchronous processing to manage content as draft or published based on moderation results, with optional human moderation for appeals.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If content sharing is enabled in virtual environments, then user engagement and content distribution improve, but safety and moderation challenges increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent distribution efficiencyVSAvoidoffensive material propagation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs content validation and moderation checks before content is published and distributed. AI models analyze content origin, authenticity, and safety attributes in advance, preventing harmful content from entering the distribution pipeline while allowing safe content to be shared efficiently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

AI moderation models serve as intermediaries between content creators and the content distribution system. These models automatically filter and classify content, acting as a mediator that blocks harmful material while permitting safe content to pass through to users without manual review bottlenecks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If manual content moderation is implemented, then content safety improves, but processing time and operational costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent safety assuranceVSAvoidcontent processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements automated self-service moderation using AI models that independently analyze and classify content without human intervention. The AI models evaluate content origin, authenticity, and safety attributes automatically, enabling the system to moderate vast amounts of content rapidly while maintaining consistent safety standards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Manual human moderation is replaced with automated AI-based moderation systems. The mechanical process of human review is substituted with computational algorithms that can process content at scale, dramatically reducing processing time while maintaining or improving safety assurance through consistent application of moderation criteria.

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

3Reliability

If comprehensive content validation is performed, then content integrity and safety improve, but system complexity and computational costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent integrityVSAvoidmoderation infrastructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The content validation process is segmented into multiple independent AI models, each specializing in specific aspects such as origin validation, authenticity verification, and safety classification. This modular segmentation allows the system to perform comprehensive validation through coordinated simple operations rather than one complex monolithic system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The AI moderation models are designed with multi-functionality to handle various content types and moderation requirements using unified architectures. The same core AI infrastructure can validate images, videos, and text content while checking multiple attributes simultaneously, reducing overall system complexity compared to having separate systems for each function.

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

AI summary

Methods, computer-readable media, and systems manage content at a server, including receiving a request from a user to post shared content to the server; validating that an origin of the shared content is a valid origin; and in response to validating that the origin of the shared content is the valid origin: storing the shared content at the server as draft content; analyzing the draft content by running a server-side artificial intelligence (AI) model to obtain a content moderation result; in response to the content moderation result indicating that the draft content is safe, decorating and storing the content at the server in a published state, wherein decorating the content comprises customizing and enhancing a visual appearance of the content; and in response to the content moderation result indicating that the draft content is unsafe, storing the content at the server in a rejected state.
