Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Conferencing services often lack the ability to automatically identify and preserve noteworthy portions of communications, leading to the loss of valuable content due to time limits and resource constraints, especially in free or limited-feature versions.

Innovation Solution

Implementing artificial intelligence to monitor communications and identify noteworthy portions, which are then encoded as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and stored on a blockchain, allowing for extended preservation and potential monetization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If communication services provide time-limited recordings to manage resource constraints, then storage costs and resource allocation are controlled, but valuable content is lost when recordings expire

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestorage resource utilizationVSAvoidnoteworthy content preservation

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of energyVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments communication recordings into individual noteworthy portions identified by AI analysis, rather than storing complete recordings. Each noteworthy portion is extracted, preserved independently, and made available for extended periods, eliminating the need to store entire time-limited recordings while preserving all valuable content.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts and removes noteworthy portions from the context of time-limited recordings. By using AI to identify and extract only the valuable segments (such as moments with achievements, surprises, or important decisions), the system preserves this content indefinitely without being constrained by the original recording's time limit or storage allocation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Adaptability or versatility

If free conferencing services are provided with limited features, then user acquisition and promotion of paid versions are improved, but users remain dissatisfied and communication value is lost

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveservice feature setVSAvoidcommunication content preservation

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements automatic AI-powered identification and preservation of noteworthy portions without requiring user intervention. The system autonomously analyzes communications, detects significant moments, and preserves them indefinitely, providing a premium content preservation feature in the free service without requiring users to manually enable recording or pay for premium features.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent fundamentally changes the storage duration parameter from time-limited (matching paid service models) to indefinite preservation. This parameter change allows the free service to offer unlimited content preservation, differentiating it from traditional limited-feature free versions and eliminating user dissatisfaction regarding content loss.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If AI technology is deployed to identify noteworthy portions, then content preservation accuracy is improved, but computational resources and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenoteworthy portion identification accuracyVSAvoidsystem architecture

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an AI intermediary layer between the communication recording system and the content preservation system. This AI intermediary automatically analyzes communications, identifies noteworthy portions based on multiple indicators (achievements, surprises, important decisions), and triggers preservation only for these identified segments, achieving high precision without requiring complex user-configurable systems.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The AI system operates autonomously to identify and flag noteworthy portions without requiring user configuration, manual review, or complex interaction. The system self-adjusts and self-optimizes its identification algorithms, reducing the need for complex user-facing controls and simplifying the overall system architecture while maintaining high identification accuracy.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Communications over a network, such as electronic conferences, often have a small portion of content that is notable within the entirety of the communications. By automatically identifying and preserving such notable portions, the relevant “nugget” from the communications may be maintained without requiring preserving the entirety of the communications. Preservation may comprise converting the notable portion to a non-fungible token and adding the token to a blockchain wherein it may be exchanged by the owner to an interested party.
