Problem

Current technologies lack the ability to effectively analyze and respond to user reactions to media content in real-time, such as emotions and preferences, for personalized content targeting.

Innovation Solution

A system that uses audio/video sensors and speech recognition to detect and analyze user reactions, correlating them with media content, and adjusts content presentation based on user preferences and emotions, employing facial recognition and machine learning for personalized advertising and content delivery.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If audio/video sensors and speech recognition are used to detect and analyze user reactions in real-time, then user engagement and advertising relevance are improved, but device complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent delivery effectivenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments user reaction analysis into distinct components: audio signal capture, speech recognition processing, emotional state classification, and content correlation. Each component is handled by specialized modules that process specific aspects of user feedback independently, allowing the complex task to be divided into manageable segments that can be processed in parallel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediate processing layers including audio pre-processing filters, speech-to-text conversion intermediaries, and emotional state classification models that act as mediators between raw sensor data and final content delivery decisions. These intermediaries simplify the overall system architecture by breaking down complex processing chains into standardized intermediate representations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If facial recognition and machine learning are employed for personalized content targeting, then advertising relevance is improved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser preference accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing audio signals into standardized features, pre-training machine learning models with extensive user data, and pre-establishing content databases organized by emotional state and preference categories. This preliminary preparation reduces the computational burden during real-time operation, allowing rapid inference without sacrificing accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements partial processing by analyzing only the most salient features of user reactions rather than complete signal processing. For example, it focuses on key acoustic features for emotional detection rather than full spectral analysis, and uses simplified facial expression recognition for immediate response while more detailed analysis occurs asynchronously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Adaptability or versatility

If real-time analysis of user emotions and preferences is performed, then personalized content delivery is improved, but system resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent personalization capabilityVSAvoidprocessing energy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements periodic analysis rather than continuous full-scale processing. It analyzes user reactions at key moments such as scene transitions, ad presentations, or when threshold emotional states are detected, rather than continuously processing all audio and video data at maximum resolution. This periodic approach maintains personalization capability while significantly reducing average energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically changes processing parameters based on context, adjusting analysis depth, sensor sampling rates, and model complexity according to the current viewing situation, user engagement level, and content type. For example, it reduces processing intensity during passive viewing periods and increases it during interactive segments, optimizing the balance between personalization quality and energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
