Solution Overview

Problem

Current multimedia content classification methods face challenges in accurately classifying content lacking sufficient training data, leading to inaccurate recommendations.

Innovation Solution

The method involves acquiring a category and object category confidence degree of a target object within multimedia content, determining a first multimedia content based on the confidence degree, generating a prompt based on the category, and identifying the category of the first multimedia content using a second identifying model.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional classification methods are used for multimedia content, then the classification process is simple and fast, but the classification accuracy deteriorates when training data is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification accuracyVSAvoidclassification system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The classification system is divided into multiple specialized modules: a confidence degree calculation module that assesses target object recognition reliability, a first classification module for high-confidence content, and a second classification module for low-confidence content. This segmentation allows each module to specialize in specific scenarios, improving overall accuracy without requiring the entire system to be overly complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (confidence degree assessment) between the input multimedia content and the final classification output. This intermediary evaluates the reliability of target object recognition and routes content to appropriate classification pathways, thereby improving accuracy while maintaining manageable system complexity through structured decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If a single classification model is used, then the system complexity is low, but the classification accuracy deteriorates for content with insufficient training data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification accuracyVSAvoidmodel architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adapts its classification approach based on the confidence degree of target object recognition. For high-confidence content, it uses a simpler first classification model, while for low-confidence content, it activates a more sophisticated second classification model. This dynamic adaptation improves accuracy across different scenarios while avoiding the need for a single overly complex model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

Different classification models are applied to different subsets of content based on their specific characteristics (confidence degree). The first classification model handles content where target objects are clearly identified, while the second classification model handles content with uncertain or ambiguous target objects. This local specialization improves overall accuracy without requiring uniform complexity across all classification tasks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Measurement precision

If multiple classification models are employed to improve accuracy, then the classification precision improves, but the system complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification accuracyVSAvoidclassification processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies the more complex second classification model only partially - specifically, only to content with low confidence degrees in target object recognition. For the majority of content with high confidence degrees, the simpler first classification model suffices. This partial application of enhanced classification reduces overall processing time while maintaining accuracy improvements where they are most needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
