Video Search Relevance via Creator Feedback Loop
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current search engines in video file storage systems often produce a large number of irrelevant results, making it difficult for users to find relevant videos, as they rely on algorithms that fail to recognize changing noun phrases and do not effectively utilize creator expertise in identifying related content.
Innovation Solution
A method where a system server identifies related video files by generating inquiries based on video file metadata, sending these inquiries to creators for feedback, and ranking video files based on their responses, thereby selecting a subset of relevant videos and storing this information for future searches.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If search engines use automated algorithms to identify related video files, then the process is efficient and scalable, but the relevance and accuracy of search results deteriorate due to inability to recognize changing noun phrases and creator expertise
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by sending inquiries to video creators about their related video files and using their responses to refine search results. Creators confirm or correct the automated algorithm's selections, creating a feedback loop that improves accuracy while maintaining automated scalability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces creators as intermediaries between the automated search algorithm and the final search results. Creators act as mediators who validate and refine the algorithm's selections, bridging the gap between automated efficiency and human expertise in determining video relevance.
2Measurement precision
If the system contacts multiple creators for feedback on video relevance, then the accuracy of related video identification improves, but the complexity and time required for the process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies partial action by contacting a selective subset of creators rather than all possible creators. It sends inquiries to creators of potentially related videos and processes responses from those who participate, achieving improved accuracy without requiring universal creator involvement.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the feedback collection process by handling multiple creators independently through individualized inquiries. Each creator receives and responds to inquiries separately, allowing the system to manage complexity through modular, independent interactions rather than a monolithic process.
3Reliability
If the system stores detailed information about creator responses and video relationships, then the quality of future search results improves, but the data storage requirements and processing overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and stores only the essential elements of creator responses and video relationships that are most valuable for improving search results. It focuses on storing confirmed relevant video associations rather than all possible metadata, reducing storage requirements while maintaining search quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameters of stored data from comprehensive detailed information to optimized relevance indicators. It stores structured data about video relationships and creator confirmations in a format that balances detail with efficiency, improving search quality without proportionally increasing storage overhead.

AI summary
Methods and systems for providing related video files in a video file storage system are disclosed. One method includes identifying a plurality of video files within the video file storage system, wherein the plurality of video files each have a relationship with the first file, wherein the video file storage system provides a platform for storing and sharing videos, and each video file includes a video and associated information. The method further includes generating, by a system server, a list of inquiries based on the plurality of video files, providing, by the system server, the list of inquiries to at least one creator of the first file, receiving from the at least one creator at least one response to the list of inquiries, selecting a subset of the plurality of video files based on the at least one response, and storing information related to the selected subset of the plurality of video files for access if the first file is selected.
