Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies are ineffective in reliably detecting synthetic media, such as deepfake videos, and fail to efficiently communicate the presence of such media to users, lacking integration of multiple detection models and resource allocation for accurate identification.

Innovation Solution

An intelligent media player system that dynamically selects appropriate synthetic media detection models and allocates processing resources based on media properties and device capabilities, presenting a probability indicator of synthetic media presence.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multiple synthetic media detection models are integrated to improve detection reliability, then detection accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the detection task by dividing it into multiple specialized detection models, each targeting specific types of synthetic media artifacts. Instead of using one monolithic complex system, multiple focused models work in parallel, improving reliability through diverse detection approaches while managing complexity through modular architecture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The media player is designed with multi-functionality to handle both legitimate media playback and synthetic media detection. The system integrates detection capabilities within the existing playback infrastructure, allowing the same device to serve multiple purposes without proportionally increasing complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Measurement precision

If advanced detection algorithms are deployed to improve synthetic media identification, then detection precision is improved, but processing resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection precisionVSAvoidprocessing resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial action by selectively deploying detection algorithms based on the specific media being analyzed. Not all detection models are activated simultaneously for every media file - instead, the system chooses appropriate models based on media type, source, and risk assessment, reducing unnecessary processing resource consumption while maintaining detection precision when needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts detection parameters such as confidence thresholds, sampling rates, and model selection criteria based on the characteristics of the media being analyzed. This allows the system to optimize the balance between detection precision and processing resource usage by adapting to different scenarios rather than using fixed high-resource settings

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Speed

If real-time detection is implemented to provide immediate feedback to users, then responsiveness is improved, but processing speed requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveresponsivenessVSAvoidprocessing throughput
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements periodic detection at strategically chosen intervals during media playback rather than continuously analyzing every frame. Detection is triggered at key moments such as scene transitions, when suspicious patterns are detected, or at predetermined checkpoints, providing timely feedback to users while reducing the overall processing throughput requirement compared to continuous real-time analysis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

A media source is configured to provide a media stream that includes an audio-video recording. The audio-video recording comprises image frames. A video presentation device receives the media stream provided by the media source and selects a portion of the image frames of the media stream. The device determines, based at least in part on characteristics of the video presentation device and properties of the selected portion of the image frames, a processing resource for executing an algorithm configured to determine a probability that the media stream includes synthetic media. The selected portion of the frames and an indication of the algorithm are provided to the processing resource. The processing resource executes the algorithm to determine the probability that the media stream includes synthetic media. The audio-video recording and a representation of the probability that the media stream includes synthetic media are displayed.
