Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices fail to account for individual preferences when sharing media content, leading to potential misunderstandings, embarrassment, or relationship rifts due to differing reactions to the same content among viewers.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device autonomously detects personal preferences of viewers and alters media content accordingly, using AI to identify and modify content that may be offensive or uncomfortable, employing techniques like removal, replacement, or modification based on viewer preferences stored in a personal preference repository.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the same media content is shared with multiple viewers, then the content can be efficiently distributed, but different viewers may have different reactions or emotions leading to misunderstandings or embarrassment

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent distribution efficiencyVSAvoidviewer discomfort and misunderstanding

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by customizing media content for specific viewers based on their individual preferences and characteristics. Instead of uniform content distribution, the system modifies content attributes (such as filtering sensitive topics, adjusting tone, or selecting specific media) tailored to each viewer's profile, thereby maintaining distribution efficiency while preventing viewer discomfort.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters of the media content based on viewer profiles. By modifying content parameters (such as selecting different media types, adjusting content intensity, or filtering specific topics) according to viewer characteristics, the system maintains efficient distribution while adapting content to prevent harmful reactions.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If media content is customized for individual viewer preferences, then viewer comfort and appropriateness improve, but content processing complexity and device requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveviewer discomfort and offenseVSAvoidcontent processing system complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-establishing viewer profiles and preferences before content distribution. By storing viewer characteristics and preferred content types in advance, the system simplifies the content processing during distribution, reducing real-time computational complexity while maintaining personalized content delivery.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses copying by creating simplified representations or profiles of viewers that capture essential preferences without requiring complex analysis of every individual viewer. These profiles serve as templates for content selection and modification, reducing processing complexity while maintaining customization effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

3Object-affected harmful factors

If the system automatically alters media content based on viewer preferences, then content appropriateness improves, but the original content integrity and creator intent may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinappropriate content exposureVSAvoidoriginal content integrity

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies segmentation by dividing media content into manageable segments or components that can be selectively modified. Instead of altering the entire content piece, the system identifies and modifies only specific segments that conflict with viewer preferences, preserving the overall integrity and intent of the original content while removing harmful elements.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses extraction by removing or isolating specific problematic elements from the media content based on viewer preferences. The system extracts sensitive portions (such as removing explicit language, filtering inappropriate images, or excluding certain topics) while retaining the core message and intent of the original content, thus maintaining integrity while preventing harm.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

An electronic device and method provide autonomous evaluating and altering of selected media content based on the personal preference of at least one second person. The device is configured to, in response to a trigger to share selected media content to at least one second person: (i) determine whether a personal preference has been established for the at least one second person, the personal preference being correlated to a preference to avoid exposure to specific types of representations within media content; and (ii) in response to determining that the personal preference has been established for the at least one second person: (a) alter the selected media content using the personal preference of the at least one second person to generate corresponding altered media content; and (b) provide the corresponding altered media content in lieu of the selected media content for presenting to the at least one second person.
