Media Content Redirection Based on Audience Preferences
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current media content blocking systems fail to selectively block only objectionable portions of content, leading to incomplete viewing experiences for audience members who prefer to access such content, as they often block entire media items based on assigned ratings or tags without considering individual preferences.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method and system that determines objectionable media content portions based on audience preferences, filters them out from primary viewing devices, and redirects or summarizes these portions to secondary devices owned by audience members who find the content acceptable, allowing for dynamic content redirection and summary generation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If entire media items are blocked based on assigned ratings or tags, then objectionable content is filtered from primary viewing devices, but viewing continuity is broken for audience members who prefer to access such content
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments media content into objectionable and non-objectionable portions based on content analysis and audience preferences. Only the objectionable portions are blocked from primary viewing devices, while non-objectionable portions remain accessible, thereby maintaining viewing continuity while filtering harmful content.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies different quality filters to different portions of media content based on local characteristics. Each portion is evaluated individually against audience preferences, allowing selective blocking of only those specific portions that match objectionable criteria while permitting other portions to pass through.
2Loss of information
If selective blocking of objectionable portions is implemented, then viewing continuity is preserved for audience members, but system complexity increases due to content analysis and preference matching
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of media content to identify objectionable portions before transmission to viewing devices. Content is pre-segmented and tagged with objectionability markers based on automated analysis, so that primary viewing devices can simply apply pre-defined filtering rules without performing complex real-time analysis.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary content analysis layer between the media source and viewing devices. This intermediary service performs the complex content analysis, preference matching, and portion segmentation, allowing primary viewing devices to remain relatively simple while still achieving selective blocking functionality.
3Ease of manufacture
If content is blocked without considering individual preferences, then filtering is simple to implement, but user experience deteriorates as audience members cannot access content they would find appropriate
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements dynamic filtering that adapts to individual audience member preferences. Each user's preference profile is stored and applied when analyzing content portions, allowing the filtering behavior to dynamically adjust based on who is viewing. This enables the same content to be blocked for one user but permitted for another based on their individual preferences.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of filtering strictness based on individual user preferences. Instead of applying a single static filtering rule to all users, the system modifies the filtering parameters (such as objectionability thresholds and permitted content types) according to each user's profile, thereby personalizing the filtering experience.
Data Source
AI summary
A method includes determining, using a processor system, that a portion of media content is objectionable to an audience based at least on a comparison between an identified aspect of the portion of media content and a first set of preferences associated with the audience. The first set of preferences defines a type of media content corresponding to the portion of media content as being objectionable to the audience. The audience is associated with a primary viewing device. The method also includes determining that the portion of media content is not objectionable to a member of the audience based at least on a second set of preferences. The second set of preferences defines the type of media content corresponding to the portion of media content as not being objectionable to the member. The method can transmit the portion of the media content to a secondary display device of the member.
