Solution Overview

Problem

Video interviews face challenges in authenticating the credibility of candidates, as lip-sync issues, impersonation, and mismatched reactions are difficult to detect without technology support, especially in one-way communication scenarios where offline evaluation of responses is cumbersome.

Innovation Solution

A system and method utilizing AI models and data extraction techniques to assess authenticity by comparing features such as lip movement, facial expressions, and body language with predefined thresholds, generating authenticity attributes and providing recommendation outputs on profile verification, deception detection, and impersonation probability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If video-based online communication is used for interviews, then time and cost are saved, but authenticity verification becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterview efficiencyVSAvoidauthenticity verification
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary authentication system that acts as a mediator between the interviewee and interviewer. This system uses AI models to analyze video data and generate authentication scores, serving as a trusted third party that verifies identity without interfering with the interview process. The intermediary handles the complex verification task, allowing the interview to proceed efficiently while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual authentication methods (mechanical/human verification) with automated AI-based analysis. Instead of relying on interviewers to manually detect signs of impersonation or lip-sync issues, the system uses machine learning models to automatically analyze video features, substitute human verification with computational analysis, and generate objective authentication results.

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

2Measurement precision

If manual authentication by experienced interviewers is used, then some abnormalities can be detected, but it is difficult to identify fake candidates consistently

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveabnormality detection accuracyVSAvoidauthentication system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the authentication process into distinct analytical components: lip-sync verification, facial expression analysis, body language detection, and identity verification. Each segment is handled by specialized AI models that focus on specific authentication aspects. This segmentation allows the system to achieve high measurement precision in each area while managing overall complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary authentication system that acts as a mediator between the interviewee and interviewer. This system uses AI models to analyze video data and generate authentication scores, serving as a trusted third party that verifies identity without interfering with the interview process. The intermediary handles the complex verification task, allowing the interview to proceed efficiently while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If offline video review is used for interview evaluation, then candidate responses can be reviewed, but authenticity assessment is cumbersome

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse review completenessVSAvoidevaluation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary authentication analysis during the video interview itself, rather than requiring separate offline review. The AI system continuously analyzes video data in real-time, extracting authentication features and generating preliminary results. This preliminary action eliminates the need for cumbersome post-interview authentication assessments, making the process more convenient while maintaining complete information review.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where authentication results are provided back to the interview process in real-time or near-real-time. The system analyzes video data continuously and provides authentication feedback that can be immediately acted upon, eliminating the delay and inconvenience of offline review while ensuring complete information is considered in the evaluation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Disclosed is a method and system for assessing the authenticity of a communication. The method comprises receiving data of the communication by the processor between one or more participants. Further, extracting one or more features by the processor from the data by using data extraction techniques. Further, comparing the one or more features by the processor with predefined threshold features stored in a feature repository. Further, generating, one or more authenticity attributes by using one or more trained Artificial Intelligence (AI) models applied over the one or more features, along with results of the comparing. Each of the one or more authenticity attributes generates a recommendation output, providing the authenticity of the communication.
