Video Communication Device Abusive Content Filtering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users engaging in video communication are often exposed to inappropriate images or sounds from other parties, leading to discomfort and potential exposure to obscene content, especially in unknown relationships.
Innovation Solution
A video communication method that establishes a session, continuously receives and examines images or sounds for specific inappropriate content, blocks or reports abusive users based on machine learning models, and mediates connections to prevent exposure to harmful material.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If video communication is established between users, then real-time interaction and information exchange are enabled, but users are exposed to inappropriate images or sounds from the other party
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by establishing content examination mechanisms before inappropriate material reaches the user. The server or terminal examines images and sounds consecutively received during video communication, detecting abusive content in advance and blocking it before the user can be exposed, thus preventing harm while maintaining real-time interaction
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses an intermediary approach by introducing a server or terminal-based examination system that mediates between the communicating parties. This intermediary automatically detects and blocks inappropriate content in images and sounds transmitted during video calls, allowing real-time communication to continue while filtering out harmful material
2Object-affected harmful factors
If content examination is performed on all received images and sounds, then user protection from inappropriate content is improved, but communication delay and system resource consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies continuity of useful action by examining content consecutively as it is received during video communication, rather than batch-processing after the fact. The terminal continuously analyzes incoming images and sounds in real-time, blocking inappropriate content immediately upon detection while maintaining the flow of legitimate communication without significant delay
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses partial action by examining at least a portion of received content rather than every single frame or audio sample. The system selectively examines images and sounds to detect abusive material, balancing thorough protection with acceptable communication delay by not over-processing every element

AI summary
One or more embodiment relates to a video communication device, video communication method, and a video communication mediating method, which are capable of preventing a user in a video communication from being exposed to an inappropriate image or sound from the other party. One or more embodiment may provide a video communication method comprising establishing a first video communication session with a first terminal, consecutively receiving images or sounds from the first terminal through the first video communication session, examining at least a portion of images or sounds received in a period of recent specific time among the received images or sounds, and blocking an output of at least a portion of the received images or sounds or reporting a user of the first terminal as an abusive user to a first server according to the result of the examining.
