Solution Overview

Problem

Content providers face inefficiencies in monitoring and controlling the quality of content stored on third-party servers, leading to potential modifications without notification, which can result in lost revenue and poor user experience due to problematic content.

Innovation Solution

An automated quality control system using a confidence tool that pulses content in real-time to detect and deactivate problematic content, ensuring compliance with quality requirements through a pulsing mechanism involving a translator cloud, confidence tool cloud, and deactivator component.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual intervention is used to monitor content quality, then content providers can review content changes, but it results in loss of time and resources and cannot efficiently detect problematic content modifications

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent quality monitoringVSAvoidtime for manual monitoring
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service quality monitoring by automatically pulsing content and detecting changes without requiring manual intervention. The confidence tool autonomously monitors content properties, compares them against quality requirements, and identifies problematic modifications, thereby eliminating time-consuming manual review processes while maintaining reliable quality control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical monitoring with an automated electronic system. The confidence tool uses computer processors to pulse content, detect changes in content properties, and identify problematic modifications automatically, substituting the manual mechanical process of reviewing content changes with an automated digital system that operates continuously without human intervention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If content is stored at third-party servers, then content providers can leverage external storage, but content is modified without notification leading to revenue loss

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethird-party server storageVSAvoidcontent modification notifications
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements continuous feedback mechanisms by pulsing content at third-party servers and automatically detecting any modifications. The confidence tool receives content, compares it against stored quality requirements, and provides immediate feedback when changes are detected, ensuring content providers are informed of modifications that may affect quality or revenue

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by establishing quality requirements and pulsing content before third-party servers can make unauthorized modifications. The confidence tool proactively monitors content properties in advance, detecting changes before they cause revenue loss, and enabling preventive measures to maintain content quality standards

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If automated quality control system is implemented, then real-time content monitoring is achieved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time content monitoringVSAvoidquality control system structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The confidence tool embodies multi-functionality by performing multiple quality control tasks within a single integrated system. It pulses content, detects changes, compares content properties against quality requirements, and identifies problematic modifications all through one unified tool, thereby achieving real-time monitoring without proportionally increasing system complexity through modular design

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

AI summary

Systems and methods for controlling quality of content is provided. A confidence tool of an automated quality control system may receive a request to analyze a tag indicating content to be presented by a content presentation service. The tag may be indicative of a link to the content and a tracking pixel associated with the content. The confidence tool may determine whether the tag meets criteria (e.g., pixel whitelisting criteria, specification of a content presentation service). The confidence tool may notify a user whether the tag meets the criteria to prevent problematic content from being presented by the content presentation service.
