Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication systems lack effective methods to authenticate the authenticity of audio and video content during digital communication sessions, making users vulnerable to scams and malicious intent from unauthorized users.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method involving user registration, creation of unique IDs and security codes, generation of audio/video watermarks, and real-time watermark validation during communication sessions to ensure authenticity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If generative AI is used to create convincing real images, videos, and audio, then the entertainment industry and other applications benefit, but users become vulnerable to scams and malicious intent from unauthorized users
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by registering users and generating unique watermarks before actual communication occurs. Watermarks are embedded in advance in media streams, allowing the system to proactively establish authentication mechanisms rather than reacting to potential fraud after it occurs.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces watermarks as an intermediary element that mediates between the AI-generated content and the user. These watermarks serve as a trusted third-party verification mechanism that authenticates the source of media streams without interfering with the communication itself, allowing users to verify authenticity while maintaining normal interaction.
2Ease of operation
If traditional communication systems are used without authentication mechanisms, then communication simplicity is maintained, but users cannot verify the legitimacy of communication partners
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts the authentication verification process as a separate, independent function from the main communication flow. Watermark validation occurs in the background without requiring users to manually verify identities or interrupt their conversation, thus maintaining communication simplicity while ensuring reliability through automated background verification.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication system performs self-service authentication by automatically embedding and validating watermarks without user intervention. The system autonomously verifies the legitimacy of communication partners through background watermark validation, freeing users from manual verification tasks while maintaining security.
3Reliability
If watermark validation is performed during communication sessions, then authenticity verification is achieved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the watermark validation process with the existing media stream processing pipeline. By integrating authentication verification into the same infrastructure that handles audio and video transmission, the system achieves reliability through comprehensive validation while minimizing additional complexity by reusing existing computational resources and processing channels.
Data Source
AI summary
An approach for validating the authenticity of digital content between digital devices may be provided. The approach registers a first user with a server and registering and storing an approved contact associated with the first user. The approach creates unique IDs (identification) for the first user and a second user from the approved contact and generating a security code for a first user pair, wherein the first user pair contains the first user and the second user. The approach creates an A/V watermark for the first user pair and verifies the security code of the first user pair. The approach validates authenticity of the A/V watermark during a communication session and displaying authentication status during the communication session.
