Automated Digital Media Management via Rules-Based Vetting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current digital media management systems for online stores lack efficient tools for managing digital media assets of artists and authors, particularly in preventing conflicts over ownership and ensuring only authorized users can access and update digital media content.
Innovation Solution
An automated data feed with a unique data structure and a web service that allows content providers to manage digital media through a command line interface or script, featuring a rules-based vetting process to determine user access and ownership, and a user-friendly interface for updating artist images and galleries.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a traditional manual management system is used for digital media assets, then user access control and ownership verification become complex and time-consuming, but implementing an automated data feed with unique data structure and rules-based vetting process increases system complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service through automated data feeds where content providers automatically submit digital media assets with embedded ownership information. The rules-based vetting process automatically verifies ownership and assigns access rights without manual intervention, allowing the system to serve itself in managing digital media assets efficiently
Solution Approach 2:
Ownership verification and access rights assignment are performed in advance through preliminary actions. The system pre-assigns access rights based on ownership verification before any actual digital media management operations occur, eliminating the need for complex real-time authorization checks during asset management
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple users are allowed to manage digital media of the same artist, then collaboration is improved, but conflicts over ownership and unauthorized access increase
Solution Approach 1:
Access rights are segmented and distributed based on ownership verification. Instead of allowing all users equal access to collaborate on any artist's digital media, the system segments access rights so that only verified owners or their authorized representatives can manage specific artists' assets, preventing conflicts while enabling legitimate collaboration
3Reliability
If a comprehensive vetting process is implemented to verify user eligibility, then access control reliability is improved, but the time required for user onboarding and content submission increases
Solution Approach 1:
The manual mechanical process of user verification is replaced with an automated electronic vetting system. The rules-based vetting process automatically checks user eligibility criteria and verifies ownership information through data feeds, eliminating time-consuming manual review while maintaining high reliability in access control decisions
Data Source
AI summary
Systems, methods and computer program products are disclosed for managing digital media for an artist or author in an online digital media store using an automated data feed with a unique data structure or a web service having a simple and intuitive user interface. In some implementations, a webpage is provided by the web service that allows a user to request access to manage an artist or author. Upon such request, a rules-based vetting process is employed by the online digital media store for determining the eligibility of the user to manage the digital media of the artist or author.
