Solution Overview

Problem

Current multimedia content access methods fail to automatically adapt content to individual user preferences, leading to unsuitable content experiences, resulting in underutilization and redundancy on platforms like social networks and streaming services.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that personalize generic multimedia content by automatically adapting it based on a user's profile, which is determined prior to content access, using processing techniques such as translation, summarization, and data addition or removal to ensure content relevance and accessibility.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If automatic personalization of multimedia content is implemented, then content relevance to user preferences is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent relevanceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by determining the user profile in advance before the user requests content access. The profile contains pre-analyzed information about user preferences, language, and knowledge level. When content is requested, the system automatically applies appropriate adaptations based on this pre-determined profile, eliminating the need for real-time analysis and reducing system complexity during content delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Manufacturing precision

If manual configuration of adaptation tools is required, then customization precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomization precisionVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically determining the user profile and selecting appropriate adaptations without requiring user intervention. The system autonomously analyzes user preferences, determines the suitable adaptation type (translation, summarization, etc.), and applies it to the content. This eliminates the need for users to manually configure adaptation tools while still achieving precise customization based on their actual preferences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Manufacturing precision

If content adaptation tools are applied one by one, then adaptation precision is improved, but loss of time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptation precisionVSAvoidtime for content access
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple adaptation operations into a single integrated process. Instead of applying translation, summarization, and other adaptations sequentially one by one, the system determines the user profile once and applies all necessary adaptations simultaneously based on the profile information. This combining of operations maintains adaptation precision while significantly reducing the time required for content personalization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Ease of operation

If automatic profile determination is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but loss of information increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoiduser preference accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms to continuously improve profile accuracy. The profile determination process analyzes user behavior, preferences, and interactions with content, and this information feeds back into refining the profile. This feedback loop ensures that the automatically determined profile accurately reflects user preferences, maintaining high customization precision while keeping the system easy to operate without manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A method and a device for personalizing generic multimedia content, an access method and a device for providing access to an item of personalized multimedia content, a method for requesting access to an item of generic multimedia content, a terminal implementing the same, and platforms for providing access to multimedia content. The method for personalizing an item of generic multimedia content is triggered by an action on the item of generic multimedia content by a terminal of a user and provides an item of personalized multimedia content on the basis of the generic multimedia content and a profile of the user, the profile of the user being determined prior to the action. Thus, the personalization of an item of generic multimedia content is carried out automatically as soon as a user performs an action on this content, possibly in a manner transparent to the user.
