Problem

Existing content delivery systems face challenges in providing tailored viewer experiences and deeper integration with endpoint devices, particularly in non-linear content delivery modes like the ATSC 3.0 standard, lacking efficient content item recognition and adaptive packet transmission.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for audio/video recognition and adaptive packet transmission that processes content items to detect video and audio characteristics, maps electronic signals to operations, and transfers tailored content items to endpoint devices for display, utilizing networks like 5G and satellite communication.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional content delivery systems are used, then content can be transmitted, but personalized content delivery and deeper integration with endpoint devices cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalized content deliveryVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments content items into discrete packets with individual identification and characteristic data, allowing selective transmission and personalized assembly at the endpoint device. This enables tailored content delivery without requiring complete system redesign.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Content characteristics and identification data are extracted and embedded in packets before transmission. The endpoint device receives pre-processed packets with all necessary metadata, enabling personalized content assembly without complex real-time processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If content characteristics are detected and analyzed for each content item, then personalized content delivery is enabled, but processing time and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent characteristic detectionVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Content characteristic detection and analysis are performed in advance during content ingestion, with results stored as metadata in the packet structure. This eliminates the need for real-time analysis during transmission, reducing processing delays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Each content packet carries its own identification and characteristic data, enabling the endpoint device to autonomously process and assemble personalized content without requiring continuous system-level intervention or complex real-time analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If electronic signals are mapped to content items for operation execution, then deeper integration with endpoint devices is achieved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveendpoint device integrationVSAvoidsignal mapping complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Content packets serve as intermediaries carrying both media content and embedded electronic signal instructions. The packet structure acts as a mediator between the transmission system and endpoint device operations, simplifying integration by consolidating control signals within the content delivery mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Systems, methods, and machine-readable media for audio/video recognition and adaptive packet transmission are disclosed. A first content item that includes audio content and video content may be received and processed to detect a set of one or more video characteristics and/or a set of one or more audio characteristics that may be analyzed to identify the first content item as corresponding to a service provider system. The first content item may be transferred for display with an endpoint media device. At least one electronic signal may be received and processed, the at least one electronic signal indicative of execution of at least one operation of a set of one or more operations relating to one or more images of the first content item consequent to the display of the first content with the endpoint media device.
