Digital Content Labeling via Sentiment Vector Overlay

Resolve Bottlenecks,
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Current electronic communication methods lack the ability to effectively convey subtle emotional and mental states, leading to misunderstandings and negative impacts on mental health due to the absence of non-verbal cues, and there is a need for personalized, standardized rating of digital content's psycho-emotional effects.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that impose a dynamic sentiment vector on electronic messages by analyzing emotionally-charged language and user emotional states, using AI and machine learning to deliver personalized digital therapeutics and rating digital content based on its psycho-emotional effects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If electronic messaging is used for communication, then instant delivery and limitless distance connectivity are achieved, but the ability to convey subtle emotional and mental states is lost

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinstant deliveryVSAvoidemotional and mental state information

Core Design Contradiction:

SpeedVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary system that analyzes electronic messages and overlays sentiment vectors derived from multiple data sources (message content, user profile, contextual information) to reconstruct emotional and mental state information that would otherwise be lost in text-based communication

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system transforms the static text message into a dynamic representation by adding sentiment parameters (emotional state, mental state, sentiment score) that change based on the analysis of message content and user context, thereby enriching the communication with emotional dimensions

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If electronic messaging is used for communication, then communication efficiency is improved, but harmful misunderstandings and negative mental health impacts increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoidmisunderstandings and mental health impacts

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback by analyzing the sentiment and emotional content of messages and providing information back to users about the likely emotional impact and potential misunderstandings, allowing them to adjust their communication approach before sending

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary anti-action by proactively identifying and flagging messages that may cause harm or misunderstanding based on sentiment analysis, and suggesting alternative wordings or warnings before the message is sent

Inventive Principle:

Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

3Adaptability or versatility

If digital content is created without therapeutic rating, then content creation freedom is maintained, but personalized digital therapeutics cannot be delivered

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepersonalized digital therapeutics deliveryVSAvoidcontent rating system complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service by allowing digital content to automatically receive therapeutic ratings through automated analysis of content features and meta-tags, without requiring manual intervention from therapists or experts for every piece of content

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

4Reliability

If user behavior is curtailed through apps or limits, then digital addiction is addressed, but user convenience and accessibility are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemental health protectionVSAvoiduser convenience

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces mechanical restriction systems (apps that lock or limit phone usage) with an information-based system that provides users with sentiment and emotional state information, enabling them to make informed decisions about their digital consumption without artificial barriers

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

Disclosed is a system and method for labeling digital content based on intended psycho-emotional effect on a viewer in order to provide an advisory prior to viewing comprising the steps of: uploading or stream-initiating a digital content by a viewer; selecting at least one intended psycho-emotional effect from the content based on scraped meta-data tags of the content; and overlaying a digital nutrition label to the digital content corresponding to the scraped psycho-emotional effect from the content, wherein the overlaid label displays at least one of an effect or triggered neurotransmitter associated with the effect in order to provide an advisory to the viewer prior to viewing the labeled digital content.
