Dynamic Audio-Visual Metadata Delivery System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems for providing additional information about audio-visual content, such as DVDs, are static and lack viewer control, with limited ability to deliver dynamic and personalized content beyond what is pre-recorded.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that uses an audio-visual data reader to process data from storage devices, generating queries based on metadata associated with the content being played, and displaying dynamic additional content in real-time, allowing for customization and updates independent of the content distribution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If additional content is pre-recorded on the DVD, then viewers can access relevant information about the content, but the content is static and cannot be updated or customized
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from static pre-recorded DVD extras to dynamic web-based content delivery. The media player device queries a web server to retrieve updated additional content in real-time, allowing the content to change and be updated without requiring new physical media distribution.
Solution Approach 2:
A web server acts as an intermediary between the content distributor and the viewer's media player device. This intermediary enables dynamic content delivery, updates, and customization without requiring direct changes to the physical DVD medium or manual content creation for each viewer.
2Adaptability or versatility
If custom additional content is created for each viewer, then personalized information can be provided, but the cost of creation increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of creating custom content for each viewer, the system uses a template-based approach where a single set of additional content templates is created and then dynamically instantiated for each viewer based on their preferences and the specific audio-visual content being viewed. This大幅 reduces creation costs while maintaining personalization.
Solution Approach 2:
The system personalizes content by changing parameters such as viewer preferences, content type selections, and contextual information rather than creating entirely new content. The web server dynamically assembles personalized content by modifying and combining template elements based on viewer-specific parameters.
3Quantity of substance
If more additional content is included on the DVD, then viewers have more information available, but the physical medium capacity is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system moves additional content from the two-dimensional constraint of physical DVD storage to the near-infinite capacity of web-based storage. By delivering content through internet protocols, the system bypasses the physical medium capacity limitation and provides virtually unlimited additional content.
4Ease of operation
If viewers have control over additional content selection, then personalized experience is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining content templates and categories on the web server side. When a viewer accesses additional content, the system already has the content prepared and organized, reducing the complexity of real-time content generation and selection processes.
