DCD Server Content Usage Tracking via Feedback Messages
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional Dynamic Content Delivery (DCD) technology faces challenges in collecting content usage information, leading to inefficient delivery of preferred contents and wastage of network bandwidth due to the inability to identify and exclude unnecessary content delivery.
Innovation Solution
A method and system where a DCD server collects content usage information by transmitting and receiving Usage Tracking Report Messages between the DCD client and server, including session, transaction, and content usage information, enabling the DCD server to provide users with highly-preferred contents and optimize network usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the DCD server and CP provide contents to users without collecting usage information, then users can access desired contents efficiently, but the system cannot identify user preferences and delivers unnecessary contents that waste network bandwidth
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the DCD client collects content usage information (amount and type of contents used by users) and reports it to the DCD server through standardized messages. This feedback loop enables the server to learn user preferences and adjust content delivery accordingly, resolving the contradiction by allowing efficient delivery of preferred contents while excluding unnecessary ones to avoid bandwidth waste
Solution Approach 2:
The DCD client within the terminal automatically collects and reports its own content usage information without requiring manual intervention. The system serves itself by having the client device track and communicate its usage patterns, enabling the server to optimize delivery based on actual user behavior
2Adaptability or versatility
If the DCD server collects detailed content usage information through Usage Tracking Report Messages, then user preferences can be identified to deliver highly-preferred contents, but the system complexity and communication overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal message structure (Usage Tracking Report Message) that serves multiple functions: identifying sessions, tracking content usage, reporting user preferences, and enabling personalized delivery. This standardized multi-functional message format reduces overall system complexity by consolidating what would otherwise require multiple separate communication protocols
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by collecting and analyzing usage information before delivering personalized content. The DCD server uses past usage data to predict and prepare preferred content for future delivery, improving adaptability while managing complexity through proactive rather than reactive content selection

AI summary
Disclosed is a method, a system, and a recording medium for collecting content usage information. The method includes the steps of transmitting a usage tracking report message from a DCD client of the terminal to the DCD server; and receiving the usage tracking report message in the DCD server. The usage tracking report message includes first information for identifying a corresponding session, second information including a transaction identifier, third information for identifying a corresponding application, and fourth information including content usage information. Advantageously, the DCD server collects content usage information so that users are provided with highly-preferred contents. The fact that the DCD server collects content usage information and transmits no contents unnecessary to users avoids wasting the network bandwidth and improves content delivery efficiency of the terminals, CP, and DCD server.
