Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current content delivery systems, particularly in wireless networks and the ATSC 3.0 standard, face challenges in providing adaptive and tailored content experiences for endpoint devices, lacking deep integration and linear delivery modes.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for containerizing and adapting content items in a packet stream by processing content items from a remote system, configuring containerization objects with flags and specifications to enable operations on endpoint media devices, and transmitting these items with composite transmission specifications, allowing for encryption and decryption to ensure secure and tailored content delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional linear content delivery is used, then delivery simplicity is maintained, but adaptability to endpoint devices and viewer experiences deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The content delivery system is segmented into multiple independent components: content composites, containerization objects, and processing specifications. Each content item is divided into separable packets that can be independently processed and delivered to different endpoint devices based on their specific capabilities and requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements dynamic content delivery by allowing content composites to be adapted in real-time based on endpoint device characteristics. The containerization objects enable flexible configuration of content packets, allowing the delivery system to dynamically adjust content format, quality, and type to match the receiving device's capabilities.
2Adaptability or versatility
If content is delivered without containerization, then transmission speed is maintained, but content adaptation and processing capabilities at endpoint devices deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Content items are pre-configured with containerization objects that include all necessary processing specifications and flags before delivery. The containerization structure is prepared in advance with embedded instructions for endpoint devices, enabling automatic processing without requiring complex real-time analysis at the receiving end.
Solution Approach 2:
The containerization object acts as an intermediary between the content packets and the endpoint device processing system. It provides a standardized interface that simplifies the interaction between diverse content formats and varying device capabilities, mediating the adaptation process through structured metadata and processing flags.
3Adaptability or versatility
If deep integration with endpoint devices is implemented, then tailored service offerings improve, but system complexity and integration requirements deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The containerization object is designed as a universal structure that can accommodate multiple content types and serve various endpoint devices through a single standardized interface. The same containerization framework supports different content formats, quality levels, and device capabilities without requiring separate integration solutions for each device type.
Solution Approach 2:
The system achieves deep integration by dynamically changing content parameters within the containerization structure based on endpoint device characteristics. Processing specifications and flags are adjusted according to device capabilities, enabling tailored service delivery through parameter modification rather than structural reconfiguration.

AI summary
Systems, methods, and machine-readable media for containerizing and adapting content items for delivery in a packet stream from a content provider system via one or more networks to an endpoint media device are disclosed. A content composite may be created for delivery in a packet stream from a content provider system to an endpoint media device. A containerization object may be configured with a container flag that indicates a content item and containerization specifications to facilitate performance of operations by the endpoint media device with respect to the content item. The content composite may be transmitted in accordance with composite transmission specifications. The endpoint media device may perform the operations facilitated by the containerization object of the content composite.
