Content Post Delay System for Impulsive Message Review
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Text messages and similar content can be sent impulsively, leading to hurt feelings and damaged relationships due to the lack of a mechanism to review or delay inappropriate messages before they are sent.
Innovation Solution
A content post delay system that holds inappropriate content for a period, allowing the sender to review, edit, or cancel it, using keyword matching, emotional state detection, and machine learning to determine appropriateness and provide suggestions for toned-down revisions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If text messages are sent immediately without delay, then communication speed is improved, but the risk of sending inappropriate content increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of the message content and sender's emotional state before the message is sent. By detecting keywords, analyzing sentiment, and assessing emotional arousal levels in advance, the system can identify potentially harmful messages before they reach the recipient, thus preventing inappropriate content transmission while maintaining fast communication for normal messages.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary layer between the sender and recipient that automatically analyzes messages. This intermediary uses natural language processing, sentiment analysis, and emotional detection algorithms to filter and moderate content, allowing appropriate messages to pass through immediately while blocking or flagging inappropriate ones, thus resolving the contradiction between speed and content safety.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a delay period is introduced for message sending, then inappropriate content is reduced, but communication efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs rapid preliminary analysis of message content and emotional context using pre-trained models and keyword matching. This quick assessment determines whether a message requires delay for review or can be sent immediately, thus minimizing the impact on communication efficiency while still preventing inappropriate content transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies delay only to messages that trigger risk indicators, such as containing sensitive keywords or detecting high emotional arousal. Normal messages bypass the delay mechanism entirely, receiving immediate transmission. This selective application of delay maintains high communication efficiency for the majority of messages while providing protective delays only when necessary.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If content is held for review, then message appropriateness is improved, but user autonomy is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides real-time feedback to users about why their message is being held for review, such as detecting sensitive keywords or high emotional tone. Users receive suggestions for modification and can choose to edit, resubmit, or cancel the message. This transparent feedback loop maintains user autonomy by allowing them to make informed decisions about their messages while still guiding them toward more appropriate communication.
Solution Approach 2:
The system empowers users to review and self-correct their own messages during the hold period. Rather than automatically blocking messages, the system presents them to the user with options to edit or confirm, allowing users to take responsibility for their communication choices. This self-service approach preserves user autonomy while still preventing potentially harmful messages from being sent.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to delaying content from being sent when it is determined to be inappropriate. Inappropriate content may be determined by keywords within the content, speed at which the content is entered in, facial expression of a sender who is entering in the content or the like. A sent message confirming that the content has been delivered to a receiver device may be provided to a sender device when the content has been held. This may provide a cool down period for the sender. After a period of time, the content may be provided back to the sender indicating that the content has not been sent. If approved or revised, the content may be sent to the receiver device. Otherwise, sending the content may be cancelled.
