Solution Overview

Problem

Existing digital content distribution systems face challenges in evaluating and ensuring the quality of digital components, leading to the creation, storage, and transmission of low-quality content assets that consume excessive computing resources, memory, and network bandwidth.

Innovation Solution

The system employs machine learning models to evaluate the quality of content assets, determines an aggregate quality score, and updates a graphical user interface to provide visual indications and recommendations for improving image quality, thereby restricting the distribution of low-quality digital components and optimizing resource usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If digital components are created and distributed without quality evaluation, then distribution speed and productivity are improved, but low-quality content assets consume excessive computing resources, memory, and network bandwidth

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedistribution speedVSAvoidcomputing resources consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs quality evaluation of content assets before they are distributed to client devices. Machine learning models assess images for blurriness, objectionable content, and orientation issues in advance, preventing low-quality assets from consuming computing resources and network bandwidth during distribution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Manufacturing precision

If quality evaluation using machine learning models is implemented, then visual quality of content assets is improved, but system complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual qualityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The quality evaluation system is divided into multiple specialized machine learning models, each targeting specific quality aspects: blurriness detection, objectionable content identification, and orientation verification. This segmentation allows the system to achieve comprehensive quality assessment while managing complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Measurement precision

If all content assets are evaluated individually for quality, then measurement precision is improved, but processing time and computational load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequality assessment accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically evaluates content assets using machine learning models without requiring manual review. The models independently assess each image for quality metrics and provide automated feedback, enabling precise quality measurement while minimizing processing time through efficient automated workflows.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Systems, devices, methods, and computer readable medium for evaluating visual quality of digital content are disclosed. Methods can include identifying content assets including one or more images that are combined to create different digital components distributed to one or more client devices. A quality of each of the one or more images is evaluated using one or more machine learning models trained to evaluate one or more visual aspects that are deemed indicative of visual quality. An aggregate quality for the content assets is determined based, at least in part, on an output of the one or more machine learning models indicating the visual quality of each of the one or more images. A graphical user interface of a first computing device is updated to present a visual indication of the aggregate quality of the content assets.
