Solution Overview

Problem

Current communication systems in correctional facilities face delays and inefficiencies due to manual review processes, leading to false positives and false negatives, as well as the inability to assess context and content in messages and images, resulting in poor security and frustration for both inmates and staff.

Innovation Solution

A real-time communication platform utilizing an analytics system with AI modules to recognize prohibited words, phrases, and contexts, allowing for instant moderation and evaluation of messages and attachments, including text, images, and videos, to determine threat levels and take remedial actions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual review processes are used to moderate communications, then security and content control are improved, but communication speed and efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidcommunication speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical review processes with an automated analytics system that uses AI modules to analyze communication content. This substitution eliminates the need for human staff to manually review each message, thereby maintaining security controls while dramatically improving communication speed and reducing delays.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service moderation through automated analysis capabilities. The analytics system autonomously evaluates communications for prohibited content without requiring human intervention, allowing the system to serve itself in the moderation task while maintaining security standards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If dictionary filters are used to automate content review, then review speed is improved, but accuracy and context understanding deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereview speedVSAvoidcontext understanding
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the moderation approach by changing the analytical parameters from simple keyword matching to comprehensive context analysis. The AI modules evaluate not only individual words but also phrases, sentences, and overall message context, thereby improving both speed and accuracy simultaneously by analyzing multiple linguistic parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses a composite analytical approach combining multiple AI modules with different specialized capabilities. Rather than relying on a single dictionary filter, the patent integrates various analysis techniques including semantic understanding, context evaluation, and pattern recognition to achieve both speed and precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Reliability

If all communications are sequestered for review, then security control is improved, but communication efficiency and user satisfaction deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity controlVSAvoidcommunication delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by not sequestering all communications for review. Instead, the analytics system selectively identifies and flags only those messages that contain prohibited content or require human review, allowing legitimate communications to be transmitted immediately without delay.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary automated analysis of all communications before they reach human reviewers. This preliminary action filters out clearly prohibited content and prepares only suspicious messages for human review, thereby reducing overall delays while maintaining security controls.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Presented herein is a substantially instant messaging system for one or more of generating, receiving, evaluating, and transmitting communications from a first party to a second party. The system includes a moderation platform for autonomously reviewing communications for prohibited content, whereby the content and context of one or more messages of a communication are reviewed and assessed for containing forbidden subject matter. Messages having a determined probability of containing prohibited content will be sequestered and not be transmitted.
