Real-time Media Content Filter with User-defined Obfuscation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current media content filtering systems rely on broad, public-based ratings that do not account for individual user preferences, failing to provide real-time customization of audio and video content to suit specific user standards for appropriateness.
Innovation Solution
A processor-based system that selectively obfuscates media stream segments by comparing annotated data with user-defined preferences, using a combination of textual and semantic analysis to identify and modify content deemed inappropriate, incorporating user-specific and public blacklists, and crowd-sourced feedback to update content ratings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If broad public-based ratings are used for media content filtering, then content classification is simplified and can be applied universally, but the system cannot account for individual user preferences or provide real-time customization
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the filtering system into distinct modules: a rating determination module that analyzes media content and assigns ratings, and a content delivery module that uses these ratings to filter content based on user profiles. This segmentation allows the system to handle complex customization tasks through specialized components working together, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary analysis of media content to determine ratings before the content is delivered to users. By pre-processing and pre-rating the content, the system eliminates the need for real-time analysis during content delivery, thereby reducing the complexity of the filtering system while maintaining high adaptability to user preferences.
2Measurement precision
If real-time content analysis is performed to enable customizable filtering, then user-specific preferences can be accommodated, but processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary content analysis to determine ratings before delivery. By pre-processing the media content and assigning ratings in advance, the system avoids performing complex analysis in real-time during content delivery, thus maintaining measurement precision while significantly reducing processing time delays.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates and uses rating copies or metadata representations of the media content that can be quickly referenced during content delivery. Instead of re-analyzing the original content in real-time, the system uses these pre-computed rating copies to make rapid filtering decisions, preserving accuracy while minimizing time loss.
Data Source
AI summary
According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, an approach is provided in which a processor receives a media stream that includes media content. The processor selects a media stream segment included in the media stream, and generates annotated data based upon a portion of the media content included in the selected media stream segment. The processor, in turn, compares the annotated data with obfuscation preferences that correspond to prohibited content, and modifies the media stream segment in response to the comparison.
