Innovation Solution
The implementation of adaptive content splicing systems and methods that allow media devices to detect state changes in televised events and create content composites by processing adaptable content items and content objects, based on the current geolocation and set rules.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional content delivery methods are used to provide service offerings related to televised events, then all service offerings can be made available to users, but the amount of time and effort necessary to search for and interact with various entities providing service offerings increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the content delivery system into multiple components: base content, adaptable content items, and content objects. The media device divides the task of content customization by receiving base content from a first system, adaptable content items from a second system, and content objects from a third system, then combines them locally to create customized content composites without requiring users to search through all available service offerings.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary content splicing system that acts as a mediator between users and service offerings. The media device automatically detects state changes in televised events and splices relevant content objects into adaptable content items, creating customized content composites without user intervention. This intermediary system filters and organizes service offerings based on detected event states, eliminating the need for users to manually search through available options.
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional content delivery methods are used, then all service offerings can be provided, but the process of locating service offerings of interest becomes difficult and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-service content splicing system where the media device automatically performs content customization without user intervention. The system autonomously detects state changes in televised events, selects relevant content objects from available service offerings, and splices them into appropriate positions within adaptable content items. This self-service mechanism eliminates the difficulty of locating service offerings by automatically presenting only the relevant content based on detected event states.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-positioning content objects within adaptable content items at identified splice positions before presentation to the user. The media device detects state changes and proactively splices content objects into the content composite in advance, so that when content is presented to the user, it already contains the relevant service offerings in their appropriate contexts, eliminating the need for users to search or locate them.
3Ease of operation
If adaptive content splicing is implemented to provide tailored content composites, then viewer experiences are enhanced, but the complexity of the content delivery system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the complex content delivery system into three distinct functional components: a first system that provides base content, a second system that provides adaptable content items, and a third system that provides content objects. The media device further segments the processing task by separately receiving base content, detecting state changes, selecting content objects, and splicing them together. This segmentation distributes system complexity across multiple independent components rather than concentrating it in a single complex system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal content splicing architecture where the media device can handle multiple types of content (base content, adaptable content items, content objects) from multiple different systems through a single unified splicing mechanism. The content composite structure is designed to be universally applicable across different televised events and service offerings, allowing the same splicing logic to handle diverse content types without requiring separate specialized systems for each.

AI summary
Systems, methods, and machine-readable media for adaptive content splicing with respect to content corresponding to a televised event are disclosed. First content may be received and may be determined to correspond to an event that is televised. One or more indicators of one or more state changes with respect to the event may be detected. A content composite may be created. An adaptable content item received from a first system may be processed. A content object re may be processed. The adaptable content item may be modified based at least in part on the content object to form the content composite. The creating the content composite may be a function of rules mapped to a current geolocation. Second content corresponding to the programming content may be received. The second content may be output for display in conjunction with the content composite.
