Problem

The manual moderation of child-inappropriate video content on online platforms is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and prone to errors due to the high volume of uploaded videos, necessitating an automated and accurate method for content filtering.

Innovation Solution

A method utilizing computer vision and deep learning models to detect and classify child-inappropriate content, including objects and behaviors, and determine subject age, integrated with post-processing and optimization for efficient deployment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual moderation is used to review user-uploaded videos, then accuracy in identifying inappropriate content can be maintained, but the process becomes labor-intensive and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy in identifying inappropriate contentVSAvoidprocessing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an automated content analysis system as an intermediary between video uploads and human moderator review. This system pre-processes videos using computer vision and audio analysis to identify potentially inappropriate content, generating alerts that prioritize human moderator attention. This intermediary layer filters out clearly safe content automatically while flagging suspicious content for human review, thus maintaining accuracy while dramatically improving processing throughput.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The moderation process is segmented into distinct stages: automated preliminary analysis using AI models, alert generation based on detected anomalies, and selective human moderator review of flagged content. This segmentation allows the system to handle the high volume of uploads through automated processing while reserving human expertise for complex or ambiguous cases, thereby achieving both speed and accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If manual moderation is used to review all videos, then thorough content assessment can be achieved, but the approach becomes labor-intensive and error-prone

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethoroughness of content assessmentVSAvoidhuman resource requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service moderation where the automated analysis tools perform the initial thorough assessment of all videos independently. The computer vision models scan visual content, audio models analyze soundtracks, and text analysis processes descriptions - all without human intervention. This self-service capability handles the bulk of thorough content assessment, reducing the burden on human moderators to every flagged case rather than every upload.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical system of human moderators reviewing every video with an automated electronic analysis system. Multiple AI models (computer vision, audio processing, text analysis) work together to perform comprehensive content assessment automatically. This substitution eliminates human errors from routine assessments while maintaining thoroughness through multi-modal analysis, and reduces human resource requirements significantly.

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

3Productivity

If automated technology is applied to filter videos, then processing speed increases, but the system may miss subtle inappropriate content requiring human judgment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo processing throughputVSAvoiddetection accuracy of subtle content
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The automated system performs preliminary analysis of all videos using multiple AI models to identify potentially inappropriate content before human review. This preliminary action includes computer vision analysis of frames, audio processing for harmful sounds, and text analysis of descriptions. By performing this preliminary filtering automatically, the system achieves high processing throughput while ensuring that all subtle or ambiguous cases are flagged for subsequent human judgment, thus maintaining detection accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback loops where human moderator decisions on flagged content are used to refine and retrain the automated analysis models. This continuous feedback improves the automated system's ability to detect subtle inappropriate content over time, reducing false negatives while maintaining high processing speeds. The feedback mechanism ensures that the automated component becomes increasingly accurate without sacrificing throughput.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The invention mentioned a method for automated moderation of child-inappropriate video content. The method includes the following steps: step 1: collecting and labeling video data on children-inappropriate content; step 2: data preprocessing; step 3: building a model to identify the time intervals of the appearance of children-inappropriate objects; step 4: building a model to identify the time intervals of the occurrence of children-inappropriate behaviors/actions; step 5: building a model to identify the age of the subjects based on their face appearing in the frames; step 6: post-processing the output information to produce censorship results; step 7: optimizing model performance to reduce video processing time for practical deployment.
