Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for analyzing the impact of digital media content rely on subjective human analysis, such as focus groups and surveys, which are inefficient and incapable of establishing causal relationships between content features and their effects on opinions, beliefs, or intentions.

Innovation Solution

A method using machine learning models to analyze digital media content by extracting features from both the content and audience responses, determining importance indications, direction of influence, and influence scores, allowing for automated and reproducible analysis of media content impact without human data gathering.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual focus groups and surveys are used to analyze media content impact, then human subjective analysis can be obtained, but the process requires extensive manual input from multiple users and cannot establish causal relationships

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecausal relationship detectionVSAvoidmanual input requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual human analysis (mechanical system of focus groups and surveys) with an automated machine learning system that processes media content and audience responses computationally. This substitution eliminates the need for extensive manual input while enabling precise causal relationship detection through algorithmic analysis of content features and their correlation with audience opinions, beliefs, and intentions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service analysis by automatically processing media content through feature extraction, training machine learning models, and generating impact predictions without requiring human researchers to manually conduct focus groups or surveys. The automated pipeline independently completes the entire analysis workflow from content input to causal relationship identification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If automated machine learning analysis is implemented, then productivity and reproducibility are improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex analysis system into distinct functional modules: feature extraction from media content, feature extraction from audience responses, machine learning model training, and impact prediction. This segmentation manages system complexity by organizing the automated workflow into manageable, independent components that can be developed and maintained separately while achieving high productivity through their integrated operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Quantity of substance

If traditional survey methods are used, then human experience and subjectivity are captured, but the process is time-consuming and requires many different users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of users requiredVSAvoidanalysis time
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses machine learning models to learn from and copy the analytical capabilities of human experts. By training models on labeled data representing human judgments and experiences, the system captures subjective human insight in computational form, eliminating the need to repeatedly engage multiple users while preserving the value of human expertise in the analysis process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

A system, computer readable medium, and method for analyzing digital content of electronic media files includes presenting control media content to a set of control respondents for consumption and presenting test media content to a set of test respondents for consumption. The method includes receiving first responses to a survey related to topics of the control media content from the set of control respondents and second responses to the survey about the test media content from the set of test respondents. The method includes performing feature extraction on the test media content and performing feature extraction on the first responses and the second responses. The feature extraction obtains response features associated with the first responses and the second responses. The method includes training a regression machine learning model with the media content features and the response features.
