Abstract

A content item review management apparatus (101) comprises a data store (209) which stores review data and content item characteristics for previously reviewed content items. A content item is received for review and content item characteristics, such as keywords, are determined for the content item. A match processor (207) matches the content item characteristic with content item characteristics of previously reviewed content items and stored review data is extracted based on the comparison. Initial review data for the content item is generated based on the extracted review data and a transmitter (215) transmits the initial review data to the source. The invention may allow review data estimating manually generated review data to be automatically generated.

Claims

1-10. -10. (canceled)

11. A content item review management apparatus comprising:

a data store (209) for storing review data and content item characteristics for previously reviewed content items;

means (203) for receiving a first content item for review from a source;

means (205) for determining a first content item characteristic for the first content item;

matching means (207) for matching the first content item characteristic and content item characteristics of previously reviewed content items;

extraction means (211) for extracting stored review data in response to the matching of the first content item characteristic and content item characteristics of previously reviewed content items;

review means (213) for generating initial review data for the first content item in response to the extracted review data; and

a transmitter (215) for transmitting the initial review data to the source.

12. The content item review management apparatus of claim 11 further comprising:

review receiving means (217) for receiving review items for content items, each review item being associated with a reviewer identity;

profile means (217) for determining reviewer identity profiles, the reviewer identity profile for a first reviewer identity being determined in response to at least one of a characteristic of the review items associated with the first reviewer identity and characteristics of a content item for which a review item associated with the first reviewer identity is received; and

selection means (217) for selecting a first reviewer identity for the first content item in response to the first content item characteristic and the reviewer identity profiles.

13. The content item review management apparatus of claim 12 wherein the profile means (217) is arranged to update a reviewer identity profile associated with a reviewer identity of a review item received for the first content item in response to the first content item characteristic.

14. The content item review management apparatus of claim 12 further comprising means (217) for transmitting the first content item to a destination address associated with the first reviewer identity;

means (217) for generating further review data for the first content item in response to a first review item received for the first content item; and

wherein the transmitter (215) is arranged to transmit the further review data to the source.

15. The content item review management apparatus of claim 12 wherein the selection means (217) is arranged to select the reviewer identity as a reviewer identity for which content characteristics data of the reviewer identity profile and the first content item characteristics meet a similarity criterion.

16. The content item review management apparatus of claim 12 wherein at least some received content items are associated with a user identity;

and means (217) for generating a reviewer identity corresponding to a first user identity if content items associated with the first user identity and received by the content item review management apparatus meet a content item submission criterion.

18. The content item review management apparatus of claim 11 wherein review data for at least some content items comprises an indication of whether the content item is approved or rejected.

19. The content item review management apparatus of claim 18 wherein the initial review data comprises an indication of a likelihood of approval of the first content item.

20. The content item review management apparatus of claim 11 wherein the content items comprise text content items.

21. The content item review management apparatus of claim 11 further comprising means (205) for performing a content analysis on the first content item to generate the first content item characteristic.

22. The content item review management apparatus of claim 11 further comprising:

means for clustering the previously received content items into a plurality of content item clusters;

means for determining a cluster content item characteristic for each content item cluster in response to content item characteristics of content items comprised in the content item cluster; and

wherein

the matching means is arranged to select a first content item cluster by comparing the cluster content item characteristics and the first content item characteristic;

the extraction means is arranged to extract stored review data for the first content item cluster; and

the review means is arranged to generate the initial review data in response to the extracted stored review data for the first content item cluster.

23. The content item review management apparatus of claim 11 wherein the matching means (207) is arranged to generate a match measure indicative of a similarity between the first content item characteristic and content item characteristics of previously reviewed content items associated with the extracted stored review data;

and the review means (213) is arranged to generate the initial review data in response to the match measure.

24. The content item review management apparatus of claim 11 further comprising means for determining a set of desired content item characteristics in response to the extracted stored review data;

and wherein the review means (213) is arranged to compare the first content item characteristic to the set of desired content item characteristics and to include an indication of a result of the comparison in the initial review data.

25. The content item review management apparatus of claim 11 further comprising:

means for determining a set of desired content item characteristics in response to stored review data;

means for determining a common content item characteristic for a plurality of content items associated with a same user identity;

and wherein the review means is arranged to compare the common content item characteristic to the set of desired content item characteristics and to include an indication of a result of the comparison in initial review data for the same user identity.

26. The content item review management apparatus of claim 11 further comprising means for storing review data for a reviewed content item as a data set comprising the review data and characterising data for the content item.

27. The content item review management apparatus of claim 11 further comprising

means for determining a common content item characteristic for plurality of previously reviewed content items;

means for determining content characteristic review data for the common content item characteristic in response to review data for the plurality of the previously reviewed content items; and

means for storing review data for the common content item characteristic as a data set comprising the content characteristic review data and the common content item characteristic.

28. A method of content item review management comprising:

storing (301) review data and content item characteristics for previously reviewed content items;

receiving (303) a first content item for review from a source;

determining (305) a first content item characteristic for the first content item;

matching (307) the first content item characteristic with content item characteristics of previously reviewed content items;

extracting (309) stored review data in response to the matching of the first content item characteristic with content item characteristics of previously reviewed content items;

generating (311) initial review data for the first content item in response to the extracted review data; and

transmitting (313) the initial review data to the source.
