Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If Machine Learning algorithms are used for deepfake detection, then detection accuracy is improved, but device complexity and computational resource requirements increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and isolates specific physiological indicators (blink rate, head movement patterns, facial symmetry) from the complex video analysis task. By focusing detection on these discrete, measurable parameters rather than analyzing entire video frames with ML models, the system achieves effective deepfake detection with minimal computational resources, resolving the contradiction between accuracy and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical/computational ML processing system with a rule-based mathematical analysis system. Instead of using neural networks and large-scale computations, the invention employs straightforward mathematical calculations to measure physiological parameters, substituting complex computational mechanics with simpler mathematical operations that maintain detection effectiveness while reducing device complexity.
2Measurement precision
If Machine Learning models are trained for deepfake detection, then detection capability is improved, but loss of time due to training requirements increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-service detection system that does not require external training data or model training processes. The mathematical rules for detecting physiological anomalies are inherently self-contained and can be applied immediately to any video input, eliminating the time loss associated with ML model training while maintaining detection capability through principled mathematical analysis of physiological parameters.
3Measurement precision
If complex ML algorithms are deployed for deepfake detection, then detection accuracy is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to specialized knowledge requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs simple, lightweight mathematical calculation rules that can be easily implemented and discarded if needed, replacing complex, hard-to-maintain ML models. These lightweight detection rules require no specialized knowledge to operate, can be easily deployed on standard devices, and maintain sufficient detection accuracy by focusing on key physiological indicators, thereby improving ease of operation while preserving detection capability.

AI summary
A method of synthetic content detection in real-time, from a video input source providing images containing at least one human's body part (comprising the head), implemented as a lightweight deepfake detector with a user interface comprising: obtaining 3D points corresponding to the at least one body part and collecting information of the obtained 3D points; calculating 3D vectors comprising information of position and movement of the points to detect spatial positions of the body part; detecting anomalies by comparing the calculated vectors with reference information of the body part stored in matrices and verifying at least one criterion: eye blink from eye detection and/or head pose from 3D projection of the body part comprising the head; providing in real-time a result; indicating whether synthetic content is detected in the video based on the detected anomalies and each verified criterion.
