Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies lack the capability to effectively process and utilize geographic data from photos to provide users with relevant information about popular locations, update this information dynamically, and facilitate user engagement and content organization based on user preferences and geographic segmentation.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that processes digital photos by associating geographic data with area identifiers, performs segmentation, and includes features like photo delivery processing, censorship, and non-fungible token (NFT) association, enabling media processing based on photo density, voter preference, and user perspective filtering.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If photos are processed and delivered based on geographic segmentation and photo density, then user engagement and relevance are improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser-specific content deliveryVSAvoidphoto processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the geographic area into multiple segments (e.g., zones, regions, or grid cells) and processes photos based on their location within these segments. This segmentation enables personalized content delivery by analyzing photo density and characteristics within specific geographic boundaries, thereby improving user engagement while managing system complexity through structured organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies different processing and delivery characteristics to different geographic areas based on local photo density, user preferences, and location-specific attributes. By tailoring content delivery to local conditions rather than applying uniform processing across the entire dataset, the system achieves user-specific relevance without requiring complete system redesign.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Measurement precision

If photo delivery is based on photo density and voter preference, then content relevance is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvephoto density measurementVSAvoidphoto processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary processing of photos, including geographic tagging, density calculation, and preference analysis, before final delivery. By completing these measurements and preparations in advance, the system can deliver highly relevant content quickly when users request it, reducing perceived processing time while maintaining measurement precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates voter preference feedback to dynamically adjust photo delivery priorities. By continuously learning from user interactions and preferences, the system can optimize which photos require intensive processing and which can be delivered more quickly, balancing processing time with content relevance through feedback-driven prioritization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Loss of information

If geographic segmentation is applied to photos, then location-based relevance is improved, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegeographic location informationVSAvoiddata processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts geographic location information from photos and separates it from the main photo data for independent processing and analysis. By taking out geographic data and processing it separately to determine photo density and location characteristics, the system maintains location-based relevance while simplifying the overall data processing architecture through data separation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces geographic segmentation layers as intermediaries between raw photo data and final content delivery. These segmentation layers act as mediators that organize and contextualize photo data by location, enabling location-based relevance without requiring direct complex processing of all photo attributes simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Systems and methods are provided to process a digital photo and other media. An apparatus to process digital photos can include a tangibly embodied computer processor (CP) and a tangibly embodied database. The CP can perform processing including: (a) inputting a photo from a user device, and the photo including geographic data that represents a photo location at which the photo was generated; (b) comparing at least one area with the photo location and associating an area identifier to the photo as part of photo data; and (c) performing processing based on the area identifier and the photo data. Processing can provide for (a) processing media with geographical segmentation; (b) processing media in a geographical area, based on media density; (c) crowd based censorship of media; (d) filtering media content based on user perspective, that can be for comparison, validation and voting; (e) notification processing; (f) processing to associate a non-fungible token (NFT) with a segmented area, which can be described more generally as “token” processing; (g) photo walk processing; and (h) dynamic group processing; for example.
