Multi-lingual Video Content Identification and Presentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Video content services often fail to provide users with media content in languages they can understand, as they typically rank or remove content based on user-defined language preferences, leading to a lack of accessibility for multi-lingual content items.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that identify and present multi-lingual media content items by determining the language of video content, assessing its likelihood of being language-independent, and presenting it to users based on their language preferences, using metadata, user reactions, and language indicators.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If video content services rank or remove content based on user-defined language preferences, then users receive content in their preferred language, but multi-lingual content items become inaccessible to users who cannot understand the original language
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the video content collection into language-specific and multi-lingual categories. By analyzing audio and text content to identify language characteristics, the system separates content that is tied to specific languages from content that can be accessed across multiple languages, enabling differential presentation strategies for each segment
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces language analysis and likelihood determination mechanisms as intermediaries between the user's language preference and the content presentation. These intermediaries analyze content characteristics and determine multi-lingual likelihood, enabling the system to bridge the gap between user language preferences and multi-lingual content availability
2Reliability
If video content services filter content by language preference, then users are presented with comprehensible content, but the quantity of available content decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter of content presentation by introducing a multi-lingual likelihood parameter. Instead of binary language matching, the system evaluates content on a spectrum of multi-lingual suitability and adjusts presentation decisions based on this parameter, allowing more content to be presented while maintaining comprehensibility thresholds
3Adaptability or versatility
If video content services present all content regardless of language, then content availability increases, but users cannot comprehend content in unfamiliar languages
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary language analysis and multi-lingual likelihood determination on content before presentation to users. By pre-processing content to identify language characteristics and multi-lingual suitability, the system makes informed presentation decisions that balance accessibility with comprehension, avoiding presentation of incomprehensible content

AI summary
Methods, systems, and media for identifying and presenting users with multi-lingual media content items are provided. In some embodiments, the method comprises: receiving a video content item; identifying a first language associated with the video content item; identifying content within the video content item; determining a likelihood that the video content item is a multi-lingual content item that is not language specific based on the identified content within the video content item; receiving a request for media content; determining a second language associated with the request for media content, wherein the second language is different from the first language; in response to determining that the second language that is different from the first language, determining whether to present the video content item based on the determined likelihood; and responsive to the request for media content, causing the video content item to be presented in response to determining that the video content item is deemed to be multi-lingual content that is not language specific.
