Tag Subscription System for Media Event Notification Thresholds
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulty in efficiently locating relevant tags among a deluge of user-generated and automated tags during media events, requiring them to actively seek and sort through multiple sources to find interesting information.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for establishing tag subscriptions, where users can select media events and set notification thresholds, allowing for automated notifications when specified tags are matched, enabling users to receive timely and relevant information without manually searching through tags.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users manually sort through tags from multiple sources, then they can find relevant tags, but the process is tedious and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-configuring tag subscriptions with users before they need to search for tags. Users define their interests and notification preferences in advance, so when tags are generated during media events, the system already has the criteria ready to automatically filter and deliver relevant tags without requiring users to manually sort through all tags at the time of search.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by allowing users to autonomously configure their own tag subscription preferences without requiring system intervention or manual assistance. Users can independently set their notification thresholds, select media events, and define tag criteria, and the system automatically executes these preferences without requiring ongoing user involvement in the tag filtering process.
2Loss of information
If users actively seek out tags from multiple sources, then they can find interesting information, but the process is cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an intermediary layer between users and the raw tag data. This intermediary is the tag subscription service that automatically filters, aggregates, and presents only the relevant tags to users. Instead of users directly navigating through multiple tag sources, the subscription system acts as a mediator that pre-processes and delivers only the information matching user interests, significantly simplifying the operation.
3Loss of information
If the system provides comprehensive tag monitoring, then users receive complete information, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies segmentation by dividing the comprehensive tag monitoring function into separate, manageable components. Instead of a monolithic complex system, the functionality is segmented into: (1) tag generation at media events, (2) tag subscription configuration by users, (3) automated matching between tags and subscriptions, and (4) selective notification delivery. This modular segmentation reduces overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive monitoring capabilities.

AI summary
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for creating tag subscriptions and notifying users based on tag subscriptions. A system configured to create tag subscriptions receives from a user, as part of a tag subscription request, a tag, a selection of at least one media event to which the tag is to be applied, and a notification threshold. The system then establishes a tag subscription associated with the user based on the tag, the selection of at least one media event, and the notification threshold. A system configured to generate tag notifications based on a tag subscription retrieves a tag subscription including a tag, a selection of a media event, and a notification threshold. The system then monitors tags generated in association with the media event for matches with the tag, and sends a tag notification to a user when matches exceed the notification threshold.
