Solution Overview

Problem

Existing multimedia data systems lack a reliable method to define and ensure the authenticity of multimedia data captured by mobile devices, which is crucial for security, accuracy, and user trust, especially in applications where multimedia data is shared and traded.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that determine user information and multimedia data characteristics to define authenticity values, combining these into a multimedia data authenticity value, which is maintained and provided to users, enabling secure and reliable data sharing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If a service system provides multimedia data from multiple users, then the quantity and variety of multimedia data increases, but the reliability and authenticity of the data decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of multimedia dataVSAvoidauthenticity of multimedia data
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms by analyzing multimedia data characteristics (metadata, file properties, compression ratios) and user information (submission history, verification status) to continuously update authenticity values. This feedback loop allows the system to maintain reliability assessments as data is submitted and evaluated

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual authenticity verification with automated computational analysis of multimedia characteristics. Instead of human review, the system uses algorithms to extract and analyze metadata, file structures, and other technical properties to objectively determine authenticity levels

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

2Reliability

If manual verification methods are used to ensure multimedia authenticity, then the reliability of data increases, but the time and resources required for verification increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthenticity verification accuracyVSAvoidverification time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables multimedia data to self-verify its authenticity through automated analysis of its own characteristics. The system extracts metadata, file properties, and other inherent attributes from the submitted data and uses these to calculate authenticity values without requiring external manual verification

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the verification process by changing from qualitative manual assessment to quantitative parameter-based evaluation. By measuring specific parameters such as metadata completeness, file structure integrity, and compression ratios, the system objectively determines authenticity levels rapidly and consistently

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If comprehensive user verification is implemented, then the authenticity value of multimedia data increases, but the device complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthenticity value accuracyVSAvoidverification system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the authenticity verification process into distinct analytical components: metadata analysis, file characteristic examination, user information evaluation, and authenticity value calculation. Each component processes specific aspects independently, making the overall complex system manageable and scalable

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal authenticity determination system that handles multiple types of multimedia data (images, video, audio) and multiple verification dimensions (user information, data characteristics, submission context) through a single integrated framework, reducing overall system complexity

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