Content Block Delivery With Rights and Evaluation Thresholds
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing content management systems fail to efficiently manage and deliver content that is divided into multiple blocks, with each block having its own rights holder and evaluation value, leading to challenges in delivering and distributing usage fees to the appropriate parties.
Innovation Solution
A content delivery apparatus and method that extracts and delivers content blocks with evaluation values above a threshold, acquires delivery data, and controls delivery to user terminals upon payment, while handling non-deliverable blocks with user consent and adjusting for block combinations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If content is divided into multiple blocks with different rights holders, then content management flexibility and rights protection are improved, but system complexity and delivery control difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The content is divided into multiple blocks (first block, second block, etc.) where each block can have different rights holders and delivery conditions. This segmentation allows independent management of each block's rights while maintaining overall content delivery functionality, resolving the contradiction between flexibility and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
A content delivery apparatus is introduced as an intermediary between the content storage system and the user terminal. This apparatus manages the complexity by coordinating rights verification, block selection, and delivery control, thereby enabling flexible rights management without increasing user-side system complexity.
2Ease of operation
If all content blocks are delivered regardless of rights restrictions, then user convenience is improved, but rights protection and legal compliance deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The content delivery apparatus performs preliminary verification of rights and delivery conditions for each content block before delivery to the user terminal. This preliminary action ensures that only legally permissible blocks are delivered, maintaining rights protection while presenting a unified convenient interface to users.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the content delivery apparatus monitors delivery conditions and rights status, and adjusts delivery behavior accordingly. This feedback loop ensures continuous compliance with rights restrictions while maintaining user convenience through automated enforcement.
3Quantity of substance
If content blocks with low evaluation values are delivered, then content availability is improved, but resource efficiency and value optimization deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system delivers content blocks based on their evaluation values, selectively providing only those blocks that meet predetermined criteria (partial action). This approach optimizes resource efficiency by avoiding delivery of low-value blocks while maintaining content availability for high-value blocks, rather than delivering all blocks indiscriminately.

AI summary
A content acquisition unit extracts a divided block having an evaluation value equal to or more than a threshold value from among content in which each of divided blocks is associated with an evaluation value and is managed by a content asset management apparatus, and acquires the extracted divided block as delivery data. When a user pays a usage fee to receive the delivery of the extracted divided block, a delivery control unit performs control to deliver the delivery data to a user terminal of the user.
