Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional approaches fail to effectively detect and manage unauthorized use of content items on social networking systems, where multiple users can upload and share content, making it difficult to identify content owners and determine appropriate actions, especially when rights are owned by multiple parties.

Innovation Solution

A content management system that maintains reference content items with associated ownership information, uses digital processing techniques to match uploaded content items, initiates disputes between users and owners, and allocates revenues based on ownership information, providing analytics to content owners.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple users can upload and share content items on a social networking system, then user engagement and content diversity are improved, but it becomes difficult to identify content owners and manage unauthorized use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent sharing capabilityVSAvoidcontent ownership identification
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary content matching when a content item is uploaded, comparing it against existing reference content items before the content is widely shared. This proactive approach identifies potential ownership issues early, resolving the contradiction by maintaining content sharing capability while detecting ownership through advance matching operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary content management system that mediates between content uploaders and content owners. This intermediary automatically performs matching operations and initiates disputes when unauthorized use is detected, enabling both free content sharing and accurate ownership identification without direct user intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If the system automatically detects and manages content ownership disputes, then content management efficiency is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent management efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service automation where the content management system automatically performs matching, identifies potential disputes, and initiates dispute resolution processes without human intervention. This self-service approach improves content management efficiency while containing system complexity by automating rather than manually managing the complex dispute resolution workflow.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback loops where matching results automatically trigger dispute initiation procedures when unauthorized use is detected. This feedback mechanism enables efficient automated content management by creating a closed-loop system that responds automatically to detected issues, improving productivity while managing complexity through systematic feedback handling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If the system initiates disputes based on content matching, then unauthorized use detection is improved, but false positives may occur reducing system reliability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveunauthorized use detection accuracyVSAvoiddispute initiation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial action by initiating disputes only when matching exceeds a certain threshold of similarity, rather than for any minor match. This selective approach improves detection precision for actual unauthorized use while reducing false positives that would compromise system reliability, achieving a balance between sensitivity and accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive a first content item uploaded by a first user. Content ownership information can be updated to associate the first content item with the first user. The first user can be provided with content item analytics pertaining to the first content item in a content item analytics interface.
