DETECTION OF INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE AND/OR IMAGERY FOR PREVENTION OF DISPLAY ON QUICK SERVICE RESTAURANT SIGNAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18374464 titled 'DETECTION OF INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE AND/OR IMAGERY FOR PREVENTION OF DISPLAY ON QUICK SERVICE RESTAURANT SIGNAGE
Simplified Explanation
The method described in the abstract is for detecting inappropriate imagery in a customer user profile image intended to be displayed on digital signage at a quick service restaurant. Here is a simplified explanation of the patent application:
- Identifying the presence of a customer adjacent to a digital sign
- Associating the customer with a customer user profile
- Analyzing the customer user profile image for inappropriate imagery
- Displaying either no image or a different image without inappropriate content if detected
- Displaying the customer user profile image if no inappropriate imagery is found
---
- Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various industries where user-generated content needs to be monitored for inappropriate imagery, such as social media platforms, online marketplaces, and public display systems.
- Problems Solved
This technology helps to maintain a safe and appropriate environment by automatically detecting and filtering out inappropriate imagery from user-generated content before it is displayed publicly.
- Benefits
- Ensures a family-friendly and safe environment for customers - Reduces the risk of offensive or inappropriate content being displayed - Automates the process of content moderation, saving time and resources
- Potential Commercial Applications
"Automated Inappropriate Imagery Detection System for Digital Signage" could be used in digital signage companies, social media platforms, online marketplaces, and public display systems to ensure that only appropriate content is displayed to users.
- Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be content moderation tools used by social media platforms to detect and filter out inappropriate content from user-generated posts.

- Unanswered Questions
- How does the system differentiate between different types of inappropriate imagery?
The system likely uses a combination of image recognition algorithms and predefined criteria to identify inappropriate content, but the specific details of this process are not provided in the abstract.
- What measures are in place to prevent false positives in detecting inappropriate imagery?
While the abstract mentions displaying a different image if inappropriate content is detected, it does not elaborate on how the system minimizes the risk of incorrectly flagging non-offensive images as inappropriate. Additional information on the accuracy and reliability of the detection system would be helpful.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of detecting inappropriate imagery in a customer user profile image intending to be displayed on digital signage at a quick service restaurant can include identifying the presence of a customer adjacent a digital sign; associating the customer with a customer user profile; analyzing, by a computer processor, the customer user profile image for inappropriate imagery in the customer user profile image; in response to the detection of inappropriate imagery, displaying on the digital sign either no image or a different image that does not contain inappropriate imagery; and, in response to the detection of inappropriate imagery, displaying on the digital sign the customer user profile image.
