Video Call Mediation System for Obscene Content Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users engaging in video calls are often exposed to inappropriate content, leading to discomfort and shame, especially when interacting with unfamiliar counterparts, due to the lack of effective measures to prevent obscene video transmissions.
Innovation Solution
A mobile device and server system that detects certain inputs, such as obscene content, through video and audio analysis, and automatically ends the current video call session, establishing a new connection with a different user to prevent further exposure to inappropriate material.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If video call sessions are established between users through server mediation, then users can communicate with unfamiliar counterparts, but users may be exposed to obscene video content from the counterpart
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by detecting certain inputs (such as throwing, dropping, covering display, or specific video content) before the user is fully exposed to harmful content. The mobile device proactively identifies potential harmful situations and triggers automatic termination of the video call session, preventing the user from experiencing shame or discomfort from obscene content.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary between users during video call sessions. When a mobile device detects certain input indicating harmful content, it reports to the server, which then mediates by terminating the problematic video call session and establishing a new session with a different counterpart, thus protecting the user from ongoing exposure to harmful content.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the mobile device automatically terminates video call sessions upon detecting certain input, then users are protected from obscene content, but the video call functionality is interrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring video call sessions for certain inputs (such as detecting that the user is exposed to obscene video through camera detection or user actions like covering the display). When harmful content is detected, the system provides feedback by automatically terminating the session and reporting to the server, enabling protective action based on real-time conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile device performs self-service by autonomously detecting certain inputs indicating harmful content and automatically terminating its own video call session without requiring user intervention. The device serves itself by implementing protective measures when it detects that the user is exposed to obscene content, reducing the need for manual user actions.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If the system monitors video content for inappropriate material, then user safety is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential monitoring functions needed to detect harmful content, such as detecting specific user actions (covering display, throwing device) or specific video characteristics indicating obscenity. Rather than implementing comprehensive content analysis, the system takes out and focuses on key detection mechanisms that are sufficient to protect users from harmful content while minimizing complexity.

AI summary
A video call mediation method of a system may include receiving, by a server, a mediation request, from a plurality of mobiles, mediating, by the server, a first mobile and a second mobile, of the plurality of mobiles, establishing, by the first mobile and the second mobile, a video call session, receiving, by the first mobile, a video, from the second mobile, through the video call session, detecting, by the first mobile, a certain input, reporting, by the first mobile, a video received in the server, in response to the certain input, ending, by the first mobile, the video call session with the second mobile, and establishing, by the first mobile, a video call session with a third mobile, and verifying, by the server, the reporting, and rejecting, by the server, additional mediation request of the second mobile.
