Solution Overview

Problem

The manual process of identifying and clearing entities in scripts for legal clearance is time-consuming and prone to errors, particularly in the entertainment industry, where script clearance reports are required for errors and omissions insurance, and the process involves varying clearance searches based on entity characteristics and contextual features.

Innovation Solution

Applying artificial intelligence models to automatically identify script elements, generate segments, and extract entity characteristics, followed by user feedback and execution of clearance searches based on entity type, thereby reducing manual effort and improving accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual entity identification and clearance searches are performed, then comprehensive legal clearance can be achieved, but the process becomes time-consuming and labor-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecomprehensive legal clearanceVSAvoidtime-consuming process

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the script into multiple sections or scenes, and processes each segment separately through the AI model. This allows the comprehensive clearance process to be divided into manageable units, improving efficiency while maintaining thoroughness in identifying entities across the entire script.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of entity identification and clearance searching with an AI-based automated system. The AI model automatically identifies entities, extracts characteristics, and performs clearance searches, substituting human labor with intelligent automation while maintaining comprehensive coverage.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Measurement precision

If manual entity identification is performed, then entity characteristics can be extracted, but the process is prone to errors and inconsistencies

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveentity characteristics extractionVSAvoidprone to errors

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The AI model performs self-service by automatically identifying entities and extracting their characteristics without human intervention. The system uses predefined criteria and algorithms to consistently extract entity attributes, eliminating human error and ensuring reliable, repeatable results across different scripts and users.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the AI model's entity identification and characteristic extraction results can be reviewed and refined. This feedback loop ensures high precision in entity characteristics extraction while maintaining reliability through continuous improvement and validation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If comprehensive entity identification is performed across the entire script, then all clearable entities are captured, but the computational resources and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveall clearable entities capturedVSAvoidcomputational resources

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The script is divided into segments that can be processed independently by the AI model. This segmentation reduces the computational burden on any single processing instance while ensuring all entities are captured across the entire script through systematic coverage of all segments.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The AI model performs entity identification with appropriate depth and detail for each entity type, avoiding unnecessary processing while ensuring all clearable entities are captured. The system applies targeted analysis based on entity characteristics, performing sufficient action to ensure completeness without excessive computational overhead.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action
