Content Recommendation System with Overlap Scoring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional systems providing voice information to users in environments with multiple sound sources often result in overlapping voices, making it difficult for users to distinguish between them, as the selection of content is primarily based on user position and intention without considering the provider's intent or the potential for overlap.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that calculate scores for content appropriateness on both the acquisition and provision sides, including a score for sound overlap, to select and recommend content that minimizes conflicts and reflects both user and provider intentions, using a system with score calculation units, a selection unit, and a recommended content list generation unit.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple sound sources are provided to users based on user position and intention, then the user receives more relevant content, but the voices overlap and become difficult to distinguish
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between content providers and users. The server receives content from multiple providers, evaluates appropriateness scores considering both user characteristics and provider intent, and selectively delivers content to minimize overlap. This intermediary coordination resolves the contradiction by managing multiple sound sources systematically rather than allowing direct uncoordinated delivery to users.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the selection parameters from simple position-based matching to a comprehensive scoring system that includes user characteristics, provider intent, and appropriateness evaluation. By introducing these additional parameters and evaluating multiple candidates systematically, the system selects content that is both relevant to users and less likely to overlap with other simultaneous content deliveries.
2Adaptability or versatility
If content selection is based only on user position and intention, then user-specific relevance is improved, but provider intent and content appropriateness are not considered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple evaluation perspectives into a unified appropriateness score. It combines user characteristics (position, intention, preferences) with provider intent (priority settings, target audiences, content attributes) into a comprehensive evaluation framework. This merging ensures that both user-specific relevance and provider intent are considered simultaneously in content selection decisions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where content providers can set priority levels and target audience parameters, and the server uses this feedback to evaluate appropriateness scores. The system continuously refines content selection based on this feedback loop, adjusting which content is delivered to which users based on the combined evaluation of user needs and provider intentions.

AI summary
The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus and method that enable recommendation of more appropriate content in providing content. There are included a first score calculation unit that calculates a first score that is an evaluation value obtained by evaluation of appropriateness of recommendation for each candidate for content to be recommended; a second score calculation unit that calculates a second score that is an evaluation value obtained by evaluation of appropriateness of recommendation for each combination of the candidates; and a selection unit that selects a plurality of pieces of content to be recommended, on the basis of the first score of each candidate calculated by the first score calculation unit and the second score of each combination of the candidates calculated by the second score calculation unit. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, an information processing apparatus, a communication apparatus, an electronic device, a computer, a program, a storage medium, a system, and the like.
