Solution Overview

Problem

Current technologies lack the ability to effectively analyze and summarize user interaction behaviors with media recordings, such as skipping, to identify the underlying reasons for these actions, which hinders the creation of improved media content that minimizes user interactions and optimizes computing resource usage.

Innovation Solution

A computing device that determines the probability of specific salient events causing user actions like skipping, replacing these events with less likely ones to reduce user interactions, thereby optimizing computing resource usage by analyzing and mapping musical components in time and providing recommendations for derivative media recordings.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If media recordings contain salient events that attract user attention, then user engagement with content increases, but user skip actions increase causing wasted computing resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidcomputing resource waste
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments media recordings into distinct events with different salience levels. By identifying and separating high-salience events that cause skips from other content, the system can selectively modify or remove problematic segments while preserving engaging content, thus reducing skips without sacrificing overall user engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the salience parameter of specific events by applying transformations such as volume adjustments, pitch shifts, or temporal modifications. This allows high-salience events that trigger skips to be attenuated or modified, reducing their harmful impact while maintaining the overall structure and engagement value of the media recording.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If the system analyzes user behavior in detail to identify skip causes, then content improvement accuracy increases, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebehavior analysis accuracyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the most relevant features from user behavior data—specifically timing and type of skip actions—rather than analyzing all possible behavioral parameters. This extraction of essential information maintains analysis accuracy while significantly reducing processing complexity and computational requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs partial analysis by focusing only on the portion of user behavior data that is most predictive of skips, rather than comprehensively analyzing all aspects of user interaction. This partial action approach achieves sufficient precision for the task without the overhead of complete behavioral analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Productivity

If the system provides detailed recommendations to creators, then content improvement effectiveness increases, but information processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent improvement effectivenessVSAvoiddata processing load
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent provides localized recommendations that focus on specific problematic events and time segments rather than offering global, comprehensive suggestions. By targeting only the specific events that caused skips with tailored recommendations, the system maintains high effectiveness while reducing the overall volume of information that needs to be processed and communicated to creators.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
