Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional media content platforms do not provide artists with comprehensive, curated data about their audience and content consumption, forcing artists to manually sift through limited data for insights, and lack control over their own data, leading to security risks and inefficiencies in data management.

Innovation Solution

A media content service provider system that collects, stores, and presents artists with their own data in a curated manner, tailored to specific objectives and roles, based on trends and threshold metrics, allowing artists to access and manage their data securely from a single source.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If artists manually sift through limited data for insights, then data accessibility is improved, but time consumption and analysis efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accessibilityVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary data processing by automatically collecting, curating, and organizing artist data before presentation. The media content service provider proactively gathers data from multiple sources, processes it through filtering and aggregation algorithms, and prepares curated data sets in advance, eliminating the need for artists to manually sift through raw data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary system (media content service provider with data processing module) that acts as a mediator between raw data sources and artists. This intermediary automatically collects data from various platforms, processes it through curating algorithms, and presents refined insights to artists, reducing their direct engagement with raw data analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Quantity of substance

If artists access data from multiple sources, then data completeness is improved, but data management complexity and security risks worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata completenessVSAvoiddata management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple data sources into a single centralized platform managed by the media content service provider. The system consolidates data from various platforms and sources, unifies it through standardized processing, and presents it through a single interface to artists, eliminating the need for artists to manage multiple data sources separately.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The media content service provider acts as an intermediary that handles all data collection, storage, and management operations. This intermediary assumes responsibility for data security, access control, and organization, shielding artists from the complexity of managing data from multiple sources while ensuring data completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive artist data is provided, then decision-making quality is improved, but data processing complexity and resource requirements worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecision-making qualityVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the most relevant and valuable data elements from comprehensive data sets. The curating algorithm identifies and extracts key insights, trends, and metrics that are most useful for artist decision-making, filtering out redundant or less valuable information to reduce processing complexity while maintaining decision-making quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms raw comprehensive data into curated data with optimized parameters for decision-making. The system changes data parameters by applying filtering criteria, aggregation methods, and prioritization algorithms that restructure comprehensive data into focused, actionable insights with reduced complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A recommendation system is described, which is configured to generate and output a recommendation for an artist, an artist's authorized agent, or combinations thereof, regarding an action to perform for increasing consumption of media content items associated with the artist. In implementations, consumption of one or more media content items associated with an artist is monitored. Based on the monitored consumption, the artist is assigned to an artist segment. Recommendations are then generated for the artist based on artist data for the artist as well as historical data associated with different artists that are included in the same artist segment or that were previously associated with the same artist segment. A user interface is generated to display information describing data associated with the artist and present controls that are selectable to initiate performance of a recommended action.
