Online Broadcasting Hub for Mass Content Distribution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Content providers face limitations in reaching a wider audience as they must individually upload audiovisual content to multiple video sharing websites, and existing solutions like TubeMogul/One Load restrict audience reach by requiring content providers to manage and distribute content across channels they own, limiting exposure.
Innovation Solution
An online broadcasting hub that allows content providers to distribute audiovisual content to multiple destination points, including video sharing websites, through a proprietary software system and API, enabling mass distribution, revenue sharing, and advertising integration, while allowing destination points to access and display content securely.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If content providers individually upload audiovisual content to multiple video sharing websites, then content can reach multiple platforms, but the process is time-consuming and labor-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple upload operations into a single unified upload process. The system merges content distribution across multiple video sharing websites into one centralized upload action, where the content is simultaneously distributed to multiple platforms through an integrated system rather than requiring separate individual uploads to each site.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal upload system that can distribute content to multiple different video sharing websites through a single interface. This multi-functional system handles various platforms (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.) through one unified upload mechanism, making the upload process adaptable to multiple destinations simultaneously.
2Ease of operation
If content providers use simple online hubs to distribute content, then distribution is simplified, but audience reach is limited by channels owned by the content provider
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system that connects content providers with multiple video sharing websites. This mediator system handles the distribution process, allowing content providers to upload once while the system automatically distributes to multiple external platforms. The intermediary enables content providers to access audiences on channels they don't own while maintaining operational simplicity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple individual uploads are performed to reach wider audiences, then platform coverage increases, but system complexity and management overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate upload operations and management processes into a single integrated system. By combining the functions of uploading, distributing, and managing content across multiple platforms into one unified system, the patent reduces the complexity that would otherwise arise from managing multiple individual upload processes and platform relationships.
