Solution Overview

Problem

Current media content management systems lack the ability to efficiently generate and share personalized media content associated with environmental sensory information, such as images and audio, while ensuring accurate identification and selective access based on user relationships.

Innovation Solution

A system that utilizes mobile communication devices to capture and share sensory information, performing image and audio recognition to identify individuals and generate personalized content, which can be accessed selectively based on user relationships, with the ability to negotiate and filter sensory information for enhanced media content creation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If sensory information is captured and shared from multiple mobile devices, then the diversity and quality of media content is improved, but the complexity of managing and processing the information increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemedia content diversityVSAvoidinformation management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A server acts as an intermediary between multiple mobile devices, receiving sensory information from various devices, performing centralized image and audio recognition, and distributing personalized content back to users. This mediator approach consolidates the complexity of managing diverse sensory inputs from multiple sources into a single processing location, while still enabling rich media content creation from diverse perspectives.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If image and audio recognition is performed to identify individuals, then the accuracy of personalized content delivery is improved, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindividual identification accuracyVSAvoidcontent generation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs image and audio recognition analysis in advance to identify individuals present in sensory information, stores recognition results, and uses them for subsequent personalized content delivery. By performing the recognition action beforehand rather than in real-time during content delivery, the system achieves accurate individual identification while minimizing the time loss during actual content distribution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If selective access to personal content is enabled based on user relationships, then the user experience and privacy control are improved, but the system complexity for managing access rights increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprivacy control convenienceVSAvoidaccess rights management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically determines user relationships and grants appropriate access rights to personal content without requiring manual configuration by users. The server performs automated relationship analysis and content distribution based on identified individuals, enabling users to control their privacy through simple participation rather than complex settings, while the system handles the sophisticated access rights management automatically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
