Data Output Determination Unit for Automatic Content Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional data processing systems for sharing image and video content require users to manually select and transmit data to specific individuals, leading to an increased operational burden, as they cannot automatically select recipients who are not in the images and require time-consuming icon clicking.
Innovation Solution
A data processing apparatus that determines whether to output content data based on social information indicating the closeness between users, allowing automatic selection and transmission of data to relevant individuals, including those not directly in the images, by using a data output determination unit that refers to social information and extracts relationships between content data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If the system uses face information from individual image data to search for related addresses, then transmission candidates can be automatically identified, but persons not included in the image data cannot be selected as candidates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a single-dimension approach (face recognition only) to a multi-dimensional approach by integrating social information about user relationships. This allows the system to identify recipients not only through face detection in images but also through relationship data, enabling both automatic selection and flexibility to include persons not visible in the image.
2Measurement precision
If the system displays candidate icons for user selection, then transmission destinations can be specified, but the operation becomes time consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic recipient selection based on social information without requiring manual user intervention. The apparatus autonomously determines transmission destinations by analyzing relationship data, eliminating the time-consuming process of manual icon selection while maintaining accurate destination specification through structured social information queries.
3Ease of operation
If the system requires manual selection of transmission candidates, then user control over data sharing is maintained, but operational burden increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-processes and structures social information about user relationships in advance, creating a ready-to-use database of relationship data. This preliminary preparation enables automatic recipient identification without requiring manual user input during the actual transmission process, significantly reducing operational burden while maintaining user control through configurable parameters.

AI summary
A data processing apparatus (100) for outputting content data, which includes: a data output determination unit (107) which determines whether or not to output the content data using social information including (i) closeness indicating a degree of familiarity between certain users and (ii) information for associating the content data with the closeness; and an application unit (104) which outputs the content data when the data output determination unit (107) determines to output the content data. The data output determination to unit (107) refers to the social information and determines to output the content data associated with the closeness when the closeness is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold.
