Solution Overview

Problem

The increasing difficulty in balancing personal privacy with digital content distribution, particularly in social networking systems, due to the challenges of identifying sensitive data and managing it in compliance with regulations like GDPR and CCPA, leads to undue risks for organizations and adverse outcomes.

Innovation Solution

Implementing sentiment-driven risk adjustable digital content management systems that use sentiment measuring and tracking features to determine user sentiment and adjust risk levels, allowing users to interact with content providers and manage their privacy preferences, thereby balancing privacy concerns with digital content distribution.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If digital content distribution is expanded to reach more users, then content reach and engagement increase, but privacy risks and regulatory compliance difficulties worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent distribution efficiencyVSAvoidprivacy risks
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary classification of digital content into sensitivity categories (e.g., highly sensitive, sensitive, non-sensitive) before distribution. This advance categorization enables proactive privacy protection measures to be applied based on content type, allowing widespread distribution while maintaining appropriate privacy safeguards for sensitive materials.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements location-based privacy controls that automatically adjust content distribution parameters based on geographic location. Sensitive content can be restricted in certain jurisdictions with stricter privacy laws while allowing broader distribution in other regions, enabling differentiated privacy protection tailored to local regulatory requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If sentiment tracking and risk adjustment features are added to manage privacy, then privacy protection improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprivacy protectionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts privacy protection measures based on real-time sentiment analysis and risk assessment. Rather than using static privacy settings, the system continuously monitors user sentiment toward content and automatically modifies distribution parameters, enabling adaptive privacy protection that responds to changing conditions without requiring manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent incorporates feedback loops where user interactions, sentiment data, and compliance metrics are continuously collected and used to refine privacy protection strategies. This feedback mechanism enables the system to learn from actual outcomes and automatically optimize privacy measures, reducing the need for complex manual configuration while improving protection effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive sentiment data collection is implemented to measure user sentiment, then sentiment measurement accuracy improves, but data storage and processing costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesentiment measurement accuracyVSAvoiddata storage requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential sentiment indicators and risk metrics needed for privacy decision-making, rather than storing and processing all raw sentiment data. By identifying and extracting key features such as sentiment polarity, intensity, and relevant context, the system achieves accurate sentiment measurement while minimizing data storage requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements partial data collection by focusing on specific sentiment dimensions that are most relevant to privacy risk assessment. Rather than collecting and analyzing all possible sentiment data, the system targets only the critical metrics needed for effective privacy protection, reducing processing and storage costs while maintaining measurement accuracy for key privacy-related sentiments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

According to examples, a system for sentiment driven risk adjustable digital content management is provided herein. The system may include a processor and a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform risk mitigating actions. These may include receiving sentiment data associated with a user and at least one of digital content, user group, or digital content provider. The processor may also aggregate the received sentiment data to measure and track sentiment associated with at least one of the user, the digital content, the user group, or the digital content provider. The processor may further determine sensitivity and risk metrics for at least one of the user, the digital content, the user group, or the digital content provider, based on the aggregated sentiment data. The processor may also provide data driven risk mitigation measures for privacy protection in digital content management based on the determined sensitivity and risk metrics.
