Solution Overview

Problem

The process of identifying copyrighted material in media content items uploaded to sharing platforms is time-consuming and resource-intensive, requiring substantial computing power and bandwidth, especially as the amount of user-generated content continues to grow.

Innovation Solution

Implementing dynamic throttling of media content item identification by adjusting the sampling frequency and match resolution based on the number of hits or matches between sampled portions and known works, as well as using external data to update testing recipes for each media content item.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If dynamic throttling is implemented by adjusting sampling frequency and match resolution based on hit numbers, then resource utilization and processing time are reduced, but identification accuracy may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoididentification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of sampling frequency and match resolution based on real-time hit numbers from preliminary matching. The system transitions from static to dynamic parameters, adapting the identification process to the specific characteristics of each media content item. When hit numbers exceed thresholds, the system intensifies matching; when below thresholds, it reduces sampling frequency, optimizing both speed and accuracy adaptively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes key parameters (sampling frequency, match resolution, interval between samples) based on hit numbers from initial matching. By dynamically adjusting these parameters according to preliminary results, the system resolves the contradiction between processing speed and identification accuracy, ensuring high accuracy when needed while maintaining speed when content is clearly unrelated.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive analysis of all media content items is performed to ensure accurate identification, then identification accuracy is maintained, but resource consumption and processing time increase substantially

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification accuracyVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by performing comprehensive analysis only when necessary (when hit numbers exceed thresholds), rather than analyzing all media content items uniformly. The system performs preliminary matching on all items but conducts intensive analysis only on those showing potential matches, significantly reducing computational resource consumption while maintaining accuracy for relevant content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses the hit numbers from preliminary matching to automatically determine the extent of analysis required for each content item. This self-service mechanism allows the system to allocate computational resources efficiently based on the inherent characteristics of each item, performing thorough analysis only when the preliminary data suggests potential copyright issues.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If sampling frequency is increased to improve identification coverage, then more copyrighted works are detected, but processing time and computational load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification coverageVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic action through multi-stage processing: preliminary matching at lower sampling frequency, followed by intensified periodic sampling only for items exceeding hit number thresholds. This approach ensures comprehensive detection for potential matches while maintaining efficient processing for the majority of content that does not require intensive analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts sampling frequency based on hit numbers from preliminary matching. For content items with low hit numbers, sampling frequency remains low to save time. For items with high hit numbers indicating potential matches, the system increases sampling frequency to ensure comprehensive detection, thus optimizing the balance between coverage and processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Measurement precision

If match resolution is increased to reduce false positives, then identification accuracy improves, but computational complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvematch accuracyVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by using high match resolution only when necessary (when hit numbers indicate potential matches). For the majority of content with low hit numbers, the system uses lower resolution matching, significantly reducing computational complexity while maintaining high accuracy for content that actually requires detailed analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes match resolution parameters based on hit numbers from preliminary matching. This adaptive parameter adjustment resolves the contradiction between accuracy and complexity by applying computationally intensive high-resolution matching only to content items where it is genuinely needed, rather than uniformly across all content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A system receives a media content item and analyzes the media content item to identify copyrighted material contained therein. Analyzing the media content item includes determining an initial interval for selecting segments of the media content item to be analyzed, generating a first digital fingerprint of a first segment of the media content item, comparing the first digital fingerprint to at least a first subset of a plurality of digital fingerprints of a first plurality of known works to determine whether the first digital fingerprint matches one of the plurality of digital fingerprints of the first plurality of known works, and determining an updated interval for selecting the segments of the media content item to be analyzed based on whether or not a match was found between the first digital fingerprint and one of the plurality of digital fingerprints of the first plurality of known works.
