Solution Overview

Problem

The proliferation of information on the web has made it challenging to distinguish informed and authoritative content from uninformed and unreliable sources, necessitating a method to validate and approve content before publication.

Innovation Solution

A system that assigns content to a review queue based on subject matter category, generates notification messages, and determines publication based on responses from approvers, ensuring content is reviewed and validated against specific rules before being made available.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If content is published without review to maintain fast publication speed, then publication speed is improved, but content reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepublication speedVSAvoidcontent reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary classification of content into subject matter categories before publication, automatically assigning content to appropriate review queues based on predefined classification rules. This preliminary action enables the system to prepare review workflows in advance, allowing fast publication of clearly classified content while ensuring specialized content receives appropriate review attention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces subject matter experts as intermediary reviewers between content submission and publication. These experts are automatically assigned to review content based on the content's subject matter category, acting as a mediator who validates content reliability without blocking fast publication channels for well-classified content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If all content is reviewed manually to improve content reliability, then content reliability is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent reliabilityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the content review process by creating multiple subject matter categories, each with its own dedicated review queue and expert reviewers. This segmentation allows the system to process different types of content through specialized channels simultaneously, reducing overall processing time while maintaining reliability through category-appropriate review standards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of review assignment from universal/manual to category-based/automatic. By transforming the review process parameter from a single uniform approach to multiple category-specific approaches, the system reduces processing time for clearly classified content while maintaining rigorous review for specialized categories.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If manual review process is implemented to validate content, then content quality is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent qualityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal content management system that handles multiple content types and subject matter categories through a single automated framework. This multi-functional system uses unified classification rules and queue management mechanisms that work across all content types, reducing the need for separate complex review systems for each content category.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service automated classification and queue assignment based on content attributes. The content management system automatically analyzes submitted content, determines its subject matter category, and assigns it to the appropriate review queue without manual intervention, reducing system complexity while maintaining quality control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

4Productivity

If automated classification is used to speed up content processing, then processing efficiency is improved, but classification accuracy may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing efficiencyVSAvoidclassification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where subject matter experts review and can correct automated classifications. The system learns from these corrections and expert validations, continuously improving classification accuracy while maintaining high processing efficiency through the automated initial classification step.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A system and method may include assigning a review request to a queue based on a content subject matter category of content, the review request requesting review of the content, and generating a notification message indicating that the review request is pending in the queue. The system and method may further include providing access to the content via a network for review, processing a response message to the notification message, and determining whether to publish the content based on the response message.
