Solution Overview

Problem

Current media service providers face challenges in ensuring trustworthiness of content producers and consumers, as existing methods rely on reputation ratings that do not account for user ability, integrity, and benevolence, and are limited in addressing content redistribution and manipulation risks, particularly in multi-dimensional analysis.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for providing trust-based media services by collecting and analyzing user data from both media and social networks to calculate a trust index based on individual measurement indices such as ability, integrity, sincerity, similarity, relationship period, and closeness, which determines access rights and content tagging.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If reputation rating methods are used to evaluate content producers, then content quality assessment is simplified, but trustworthiness evaluation becomes inaccurate because content consumers are not included as analysis subjects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent quality assessmentVSAvoidtrustworthiness evaluation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The evaluation system is segmented into multiple dimensions: individual measurement indices (ability, integrity, benevolence, sincerity) and relationship measurement indices (similarity, relationship period, closeness). This segmentation allows comprehensive trustworthiness evaluation by separately assessing individual characteristics and interpersonal relationships, then integrating them through the trust index calculation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions from traditional one-dimensional reputation ratings to multi-dimensional trust evaluation by incorporating both individual measurement indices and relationship measurement indices. This dimensional expansion enables comprehensive assessment of trustworthiness by considering multiple factors simultaneously, including ability, integrity, benevolence, sincerity, similarity, relationship period, and closeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Reliability

If user report-based content risk investigation is implemented, then content safety is improved, but response time increases and costs rise due to predetermined processing time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent safetyVSAvoidresponse time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary trust evaluation by continuously collecting and analyzing user data from media services and other services to calculate trust indices in advance. This preliminary action enables the system to assess content risk before harmful content is produced or distributed, allowing preventive measures rather than reactive responses, thereby reducing response time while maintaining content safety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements continuous feedback loops by collecting user data from multiple sources, calculating trust indices, and using these indices to control access rights and provide trust-based media services. This feedback mechanism enables real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment of content safety measures, improving response efficiency while maintaining high reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Ease of operation

If traditional reputation information analysis is used, then content producer evaluation is simplified, but multi-dimensional analysis is limited because only data within the media service is analyzed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproducer evaluationVSAvoidmulti-dimensional analysis capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system collects user data from multiple sources including media services and other services, making the evaluation system universal and applicable to various contexts. This multi-functionality enables comprehensive trustworthiness evaluation by integrating data from diverse sources, allowing the system to adapt to different evaluation scenarios and provide multi-dimensional analysis beyond traditional media service boundaries.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Provided are a method and an apparatus for providing a trust-based media service. First user related data and second user related data are collected from a media service and other service, the trust is analyzed based on the collected data, trust information including the trust index of the first user or the second user is obtained, and the trust information is provided. The trust index is calculated based on a value of trustworthiness for a user obtained based on a first individual measurement index calculated based on the collected data and a value of relationship between the first user and the second user obtained based on a second individual measurement index calculated based on the collected data.
