Feed-Level Content Moderation via Approval Descriptors
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing solutions for managing moderation of media content in a media portal lack flexibility, as they employ global access control policies that fail to provide customized moderation for specific entities or groups, leading to inadequate control over content publication.
Innovation Solution
A content management application that allows for customized moderation by using feed extensions to specify which entities can access, publish, and moderate content, with an approval descriptor determining whether additional content requires moderator approval before being made public.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If global access control policy is used, then content moderation is simplified, but flexibility for specific entities is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the global access control policy into feed-level and entity-level segments. Each feed can have its own access control policy, and within each feed, different entities can have different access rights. This segmentation allows the system to maintain simplicity at the global level while providing flexibility at the feed and entity levels.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements local quality by allowing different access control policies at different levels (global, feed-level, entity-level). Each feed can have customized moderation policies tailored to its specific needs, and entities can have customized access rights within feeds, creating localized quality control without compromising overall system simplicity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If customized moderation per entity is implemented, then flexibility is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The access control system is segmented into multiple levels: global access control policy, feed-level access control policy, and entity-level access rights. This segmentation allows customized moderation to be implemented at specific levels without increasing overall system complexity, as each level operates independently with its own policies.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides dynamic access control where policies can be customized at different levels without requiring complete system reconfiguration. The feed-level and entity-level policies dynamically adjust access rights within the framework of global policies, allowing flexibility without proportionally increasing system complexity.
3Productivity
If automatic approval is used, then publishing speed is improved, but quality control is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides dynamic approval control where the approval descriptor can be configured differently for different feeds and entities. For feeds requiring high quality control, manual approval can be enforced. For feeds prioritizing speed, automatic approval can be enabled. This dynamic configuration allows the system to optimize the balance between publishing speed and quality control based on specific feed requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements local quality control by allowing different approval requirements at the feed level. Each feed can have its own approval descriptor that specifies whether content requires moderator approval or can be automatically published. This ensures that quality control is applied only where necessary, while maintaining high publishing speed for feeds that prioritize speed over strict quality control.

AI summary
Systems and methods are provided for providing customized moderation of electronic content published via a media portal. The content management application can access a feed that includes multiple electronic content items. The content management application can determine, based on an approval descriptor associated with the feed, that additional content provided to the feed is provided by a publisher account that must be approved by a moderator account rather than an additional publisher account for which other additional content is automatically approved without requiring moderator approval. The content management application can require approval of the additional content by the moderator account. The moderator account has permission to moderate electronic content provided to the feed based on a moderator descriptor associated with the feed.
