Automated Content Selection for Group Venues
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In public spaces where groups of people gather to view content on shared displays, issues arise such as unauthorized viewers, high costs for content providers, differing viewer interests, parental control concerns, and irrelevant advertisements, as existing systems fail to effectively manage content selection and distribution.
Innovation Solution
An automated content selection system that uses location data and viewer profiles to identify and aggregate content preferences, resolve conflicts, and dynamically select and display content based on weighted preferences, while ensuring authorized access and personalized experiences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If content is delivered to all viewers in public spaces, then content distribution is achieved, but costs for content providers increase and unauthorized viewing occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from uniform content delivery to location-specific and group-specific content delivery. Content is selectively distributed based on the physical location of viewers and their aggregated profile characteristics, ensuring that content providers pay only for targeted delivery to relevant groups rather than blanket distribution to all potential viewers in public spaces.
2Adaptability or versatility
If content is selected based on individual preferences, then personalization is achieved, but conflicts arise when group members have differing interests
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges individual viewer profiles into a unified group profile through aggregation. By combining multiple individual preferences and characteristics into a single aggregated profile, the system resolves selection conflicts automatically, eliminating the need for complex manual negotiation or voting mechanisms while maintaining personalized content selection for the group.
3Productivity
If automated content selection is implemented, then efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automated content selection that operates autonomously based on aggregated viewer profiles and location data. The automated selection process eliminates the need for manual content curation, allowing the system to self-manage content delivery decisions efficiently without requiring complex human intervention or oversight mechanisms.

AI summary
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a system and method for selecting media content for a group of persons located at a venue. The system and method identify a plurality of viewers in a vicinity of a venue that has one or more display devices from location data and extracts a content viewing preference of each viewer from their profile data. The process includes aggregating the content viewing preference of each of the plurality of viewers to generate an aggregated content profile. Based on the aggregated content profile, a list of content is generated. Next, a first group of viewers approaching a viewing range of a display device are sensed by imaging data. Any conflicts between content viewing preferences of the first group of viewers are detected and resolved based on weighting the viewing preferences of the group. Other embodiments are disclosed.
