Solution Overview

Problem

Existing media delivery systems lack customization and interactivity, leading to inefficient network resource utilization and limited user engagement, as they typically provide standardized content without considering user preferences or location-specific information, and do not facilitate effective advertising feedback or social networking.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that constructs customized content compilation data for users based on their location and feedback, using templates to select and schedule content elements, allowing for on-demand modifications and efficient network resource management, enabling seamless playback even during intermittent connectivity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If standardized content is delivered to all users, then network resource utilization is simplified, but user engagement and customization are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork resource utilization efficiencyVSAvoidcontent customization capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments content into modular content elements that can be independently selected and assembled into personalized compilations for different users, allowing customized content delivery without requiring separate delivery infrastructure for each user

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-constructs personalized content compilations for users based on their profiles and preferences before network transmission, reducing real-time network resource requirements while maintaining high customization levels

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Quantity of substance

If network capacity is increased by adding equipment or building new cell sites, then consumer demand for media content can be met, but network infrastructure cost and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork capacityVSAvoidnetwork infrastructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of content delivery from continuous streaming to scheduled transmission of pre-compiled content packages, optimizing network utilization by transmitting content during off-peak hours and reducing peak network capacity requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of operation

If content is transmitted during peak hours, then user accessibility is improved, but network congestion and utilization increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser content accessibilityVSAvoidnetwork energy utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements periodic content transmission schedules, delivering content to users during off-peak hours when network congestion is lower, and uses local storage on user devices to ensure content availability during peak usage periods without burdening the network

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

A method and system for providing customized content for a plurality of users is provided. In one embodiment, the method may comprise receiving user information from a plurality of users including location information of each user. For each of the plurality of users, the method may include constructing first compilation data that includes information of a first plurality of content elements and wherein the first compilation data constructed for each use may be different. For each of the plurality of users, the method may further include presenting the content elements of the first compilation data to each of the plurality of respective users. The first compilation data may be constructed from a first template, and the method may further comprise receiving feedback from a set of the users, modifying the respective first template of the set of users based on the feedback, and constructing second compilation data that includes information of a second plurality of content elements for the set of users. Finally, the content elements may be scheduled to be transmitted to the user device, such as a mobile telephone, according to rules configured to reduce peak communications network utilization.
