Solution Overview

Problem

In multimedia stream communications, such as online interviews or video conferences, it is challenging to verify the identity of users and ensure that interactions are not influenced by their appearance or accent, leading to potential biases.

Innovation Solution

A system that uses real-time facial mapping, authentication based on blockchain-unique IDs, and machine learning to modify the multimedia stream by applying avatars and altering speech characteristics, while providing feedback on engagement quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If real-time facial mapping and authentication are implemented, then user identity verification is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser identity verificationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs facial mapping and creates authentication models in advance before the actual verification process. During real-time communication, the pre-prepared models are simply matched against incoming video streams, transforming a complex real-time analysis into a simpler real-time comparison task.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates digital copies of user facial features through 3D mapping and generates avatar representations. These copies are then used for authentication purposes, allowing verification without requiring direct analysis of the original complex facial data during real-time interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Object-affected harmful factors

If avatars and speech modification are applied, then bias reduction is improved, but loss of information increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebias reductionVSAvoidoriginal appearance and speech characteristics
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces avatars as intermediary representations that mediate between the original user appearance and the communication process. The avatar serves as a neutral intermediary that conveys user identity and expressions without transmitting the original appearance characteristics that could cause bias, while still preserving essential communication information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If real-time multimedia stream modification is performed, then processing speed decreases, but user verification accuracy improves

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveverification accuracyVSAvoidprocessing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The verification process is divided into distinct segments: initial facial mapping phase, authentication phase, and real-time verification phase. Each segment processes specific aspects of verification independently, allowing the system to perform comprehensive analysis without requiring all processing to occur simultaneously at full complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A system for real-time verification and modification of a multimedia stream, includes a processor and a memory. The memory includes instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by the processor, cause the system to: access a real-time multimedia stream including a real-time image and real-time speech of a user, determine a facial mapping of the user based on the real-time image of the user; authenticate an identity of the user based on the facial mapping of the user, in response to the authenticated identity of the user generate a mask of the user based on the facial mapping of the user, modify the real-time multimedia stream to display the mask on the user, determine feedback based on analyzing the real-time multimedia stream of the user, and display the feedback in real time. The feedback includes a feedback score or a visual representation of a quality of an engagement of the user.
