Solution Overview

Problem

The delivery of large digital content to various devices taxes data delivery components and receiving devices, leading to inefficiencies in data transmission and consumption.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method that receives a request for digital content, gathers configuration information, account constraints, and resource availability, and identifies an alternative output event to dynamically transform and deliver the content, optimizing it for the receiving device's capabilities, thereby reducing transmission delay and data usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If large digital content is delivered to various devices, then content quality and completeness are maintained, but data delivery components and receiving devices are taxed, leading to transmission delays and high bandwidth usage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent qualityVSAvoidtransmission delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically changes content parameters (quality, format, resolution) based on device capabilities and network conditions. The content delivery system adjusts delivery parameters in real-time to optimize transmission speed while maintaining acceptable content quality, resolving the contradiction between content quality and transmission delay.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention implements dynamic content delivery where the system continuously adapts to changing device resources and network conditions. The content transformation and delivery process is dynamic rather than static, allowing the system to respond to real-time constraints and optimize both quality and transmission speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Loss of information

If large digital content is delivered to various devices, then complete content is provided, but bandwidth usage increases and device resources are consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent completenessVSAvoidbandwidth usage
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies different quality levels to different portions of content or different content streams based on local device requirements. High-quality delivery is provided only where device capabilities and network conditions support it, while lower quality is used elsewhere, maintaining essential content completeness while reducing overall bandwidth consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes content parameters such as resolution, bitrate, and format based on device capabilities and network conditions. This allows the system to deliver complete content information in an optimized form that reduces bandwidth usage while maintaining the essential completeness and usability of the content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If content is optimized for device constraints, then transmission efficiency improves, but content quality may be reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission efficiencyVSAvoidcontent quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically balances transmission efficiency and content quality based on real-time device constraints and user needs. The optimization is not static but adapts continuously, allowing the system to maintain higher quality when device capabilities permit while maximizing transmission efficiency when constraints are tighter.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a universal content delivery system that can serve multiple device types and quality requirements from a single source. The system transforms content into multiple formats and quality levels, providing a universal solution that maintains acceptable quality across diverse devices while optimizing transmission efficiency for each specific case.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
