Collection Metadata Filtering for Privacy Protection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Generating high-quality interactive media presentations that maintain a polished look while managing content in an organized and aesthetically pleasing manner, without exposing unfinished work or metadata, is challenging.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for managing content item collections, where a collection management system filters out privileged information from metadata before sending it to client devices, ensuring that only sanitized metadata is displayed to users, preventing access to raw content item metadata.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If all content item metadata is displayed to users, then complete information is provided, but unfinished work and sensitive information are exposed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes privileged information (unfinished work indicators, sensitive metadata, edit history, comments) from the content item metadata before displaying it to users. This extraction process separates the harmful information from the useful metadata, allowing complete but sanitized information to be presented to users.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary filtering mechanism between the content management system and the user interface. This intermediary layer processes the metadata, removing privileged information while preserving essential content information, thus mediating between complete data availability and user-protection requirements.
2Productivity
If raw metadata is sent to client devices, then data transmission is simple, but professional appearance and information security are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary filtering of metadata on the server side before transmission to client devices. By pre-removing privileged information from the metadata in advance, the system maintains efficient data transmission while ensuring that only sanitized, professional-appropriate information reaches the user interface.
3Loss of time
If collection management system directly accesses content management system metadata, then data retrieval is efficient, but control over information display is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the data retrieval function with the information filtering function into a single integrated process. The collection management system simultaneously retrieves metadata from the content management system and filters privileged information in one operation, maintaining efficiency while ensuring controlled information display.
Data Source
AI summary
The present disclosure generally relates to managing content item collections. A collection management system receives a request for collection item metadata associated with a collection item. Collection management system obtains a content item identifier corresponding to the collection item identifier. Collection management system requests content item metadata from a content management system. Collection management system receives from the content management system content item metadata corresponding to the content item identifier. Collection management system filters the content item metadata to remove a portion of the content item metadata comprising privileged information. Collection management system retrieves collection item metadata using the collection item identifier. Collection management system adds the filtered content item metadata to the collection item metadata. Collection management system sends to the client device the collection item metadata for the content item to be displayed, without sending the portion of the metadata comprising privileged information.
