Central Operator Mediator for Telecommunication Content Distribution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current telecommunications systems face difficulties in delivering service content to a multitude of users across different telecommunication operators, requiring content providers to establish numerous relations, which is time-consuming, administratively complex, and costly.
Innovation Solution
A central network operator acts as an intermediary, establishing relations with multiple operators and collecting subscriber attributes, allowing content providers to reach all users through a single relation, modifying content to suit individual terminal and access capabilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If content providers create direct relations to all operators to access terminal capabilities and routing information, then service content can be delivered to users of all operators with adapted content, but the procedure becomes very time consuming, administratively difficult and costly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a central network operator as an intermediary between content providers and multiple other operators. The central operator maintains relations with numerous operators and provides a standardized interface to content providers, eliminating the need for content providers to establish direct relations with each operator individually. This mediator approach resolves the contradiction by maintaining adaptability through the central operator's ability to access terminal capabilities while reducing administrative complexity through a single standardized relation.
Solution Approach 2:
The central network operator provides a universal interface that works with multiple operators simultaneously. Instead of content providers needing to create operator-specific implementations, the central operator handles multiple operator relations through a single standardized interface, making the system universally applicable across different operators without increasing content provider complexity.
2Ease of operation
If content providers act as normal users using routing structures, then they can route service content to any user, but they lose the ability to adapt content to terminal type and access capabilities
Solution Approach 1:
The central network operator acts as a mediator that preserves the simplicity of routing content to any user while adding adaptability. Content providers continue to use simple routing structures to reach users, but the central operator intercepts and processes the content delivery, adapting it to terminal capabilities and access characteristics before final delivery. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining ease of operation at the content provider level while achieving adaptability through the intermediary.

AI summary
A solution making it possible for one telecommunication network operator (10′) to act as intermediate distributor or administrator of a content provider (60) for a multitude of operators (20) is presented. The content provider (60) has a single relation to the central operator (10′), in turn having relations to other operators (20). It is thus possible for the content provider (60) to reach all users (30) of all operators (10′, 20) through a single relation to that operator (10′). The content provider (60) provides service content, e.g. media content. A list of targeted users (30) or subscribers is compiled. The central operator (10′) collects necessary subscriber attributes (80), such as position, device information and access properties, from the other operators (20). The content is modified according to the collected attributes (80), and the content is distributed to the subscribers (30) in the best possible way.
