Event Page Permission Segmentation for Spam Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Large public events broadcasted through various mediums face challenges in managing real-time contributions from participants, leading to unwanted comments and spam, which can overwhelm the system and detract from the event experience.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method generates an event page associated with a social network, allowing a subset of members to edit the page with permissions to add photos, videos, and comments while restricting others, providing real-time updates and indicating the event's occurrence, thus controlling participation and preventing abuse.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If access to the event page is allowed to all members of the social network, then the event experience is enhanced through diverse contributions, but the system becomes overwhelmed by unwanted comments and spam
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating permission levels for different user groups on the same event page. Selected members receive full editing permissions while other members have restricted access. This allows the system to provide tailored access rights to different portions of the user base, enabling valuable contributions from selected users while preventing spam from the broader community.
2Productivity
If editing permissions are granted to multiple members, then real-time updates and diverse content are achieved, but control over content quality and relevance is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the user base into distinct groups with different permission levels. A selected subset of members is granted full editing permissions to add photos, videos, and comments, while other members have restricted access. This segmentation maintains content quality by limiting editing capabilities to trusted individuals while still enabling real-time updates from multiple sources.
3Reliability
If access is restricted to a subset of members, then spam and unwanted participation are prevented, but the diversity of contributions and community engagement is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism in the form of selected member accounts that act as intermediaries between the broader community and the event page. These selected members are trusted to filter and curate contributions, maintaining content authenticity while still allowing diverse inputs from the larger community through their moderated participation.

AI summary
A computer-implemented method and computing system for generating, using one or more computing devices, an event page corresponding to a particular event, the event page associated with a social network. The method further configured to allow access to the event page to one or more members of the social network and to determine a subset of the one or more members of the social network. The method further configured to provide the subset of the one or more members of the social network with permission to edit the event page and receive real-time updates to the event page from the subset of the one or more members of the social network.
