Geographic Popularity Evaluation for User Content
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video sharing platforms lack the ability to effectively evaluate the geographic popularity of user-generated content items, which is crucial for understanding user interests and optimizing content delivery, as they do not consider the geographic location of content items or their popularity across different regions.
Innovation Solution
A mechanism that calculates the view geographic entropy of user-generated content items by dividing views across multiple geographic regions, taking into account the content item's location, and presents this metric in an analytical report for visual display, allowing classification from highly global to highly local popularity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If video sharing platforms provide technology to see video views broken down by country, then users can access content globally, but the system cannot evaluate geographic popularity considering the content item's location or local versus global popularity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the geographic popularity evaluation into multiple dimensions: content item location, viewer location, and view distribution across regions. By breaking down the analysis into these segments, the system can accurately measure both local and global popularity without losing contextual information about where the content originated.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new dimension to geographic analysis by incorporating the content item's location as a factor in the popularity calculation. Instead of only analyzing viewer locations, the system now considers both the content origin and viewer distribution, creating a multi-dimensional geographic popularity metric that resolves the information loss problem.
2Adaptability or versatility
If content is made accessible from all over the globe through online video sharing platforms, then regional barriers are removed, but it becomes difficult to determine whether content is popular locally or globally
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating between content that is popular in its local geographic region versus content that has global appeal. The system calculates geographic popularity metrics that specifically measure whether a content item resonates with audiences near its origin or attracts worldwide viewership, enabling precise popularity classification despite global accessibility.

AI summary
A mechanism to evaluate the geographic popularity of geographically-located user-generated content is presented. A method to evaluate the geographic popularity of geographically-located user-generated content includes receiving a user-generated content item having metadata indicating a geographic location of the user-generated content item, determining geographic location metadata of each of a plurality of views of the content item, calculating a view geographic entropy of the content item by dividing the plurality of views across multiple geographic regions while taking into account the geographic location of the content item, and providing the calculated view geographic entropy of the content item for presentation in a visual display that is part of an analytical report of the content item.
