Solution Overview

Problem

Current mobile application content distribution systems rely on static content architectures, requiring updates to be deployed through app stores, which limits the ability to dynamically modify content based on user preferences without re-deploying the application.

Innovation Solution

A system that dynamically deploys content to mobile devices by creating content for mobile applications, defining host preferences, and evaluating device preferences to transmit customized content based on matching criteria, allowing for language and regional adjustments without re-deploying the application.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If static content architecture is used, then application stability is maintained, but content flexibility and adaptability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent flexibilityVSAvoidcontent distribution complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments content into modular units that can be independently managed and distributed. Content is divided into discrete elements that can be selectively delivered to mobile devices based on device preferences, allowing flexible content adaptation without requiring complete application updates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a content distribution server as an intermediary between the application and mobile devices. This server receives device preference information, matches it with available content, and dynamically delivers appropriate content without requiring direct application modification or re-deployment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If application updates are deployed through app stores, then content modification capability is improved, but update time and deployment complexity worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent modification capabilityVSAvoidupdate time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent prepares multiple content variations in advance and stores them on the content distribution server. When a mobile device requests content, the server quickly selects and delivers the appropriate pre-prepared content based on device preferences, eliminating the need for time-consuming application updates through app stores.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts content delivery from the application update process itself. Content can be modified and delivered independently through the content distribution server without requiring full application updates, separating content modification from application deployment and significantly reducing update time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Reliability

If host preference is strictly enforced, then content quality is improved, but user personalization capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent qualityVSAvoiduser personalization
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different quality levels and content variations to different user contexts. Instead of enforcing a single host preference, the system delivers content tailored to specific device preferences while maintaining overall quality standards, allowing localized adaptation without sacrificing global content quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent makes content delivery dynamic by adjusting content selection based on real-time device preference information. The system dynamically matches device preferences with appropriate content variations, enabling personalization while maintaining quality through structured content organization and preference-based selection algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

In various embodiments, the systems, methods and computer-readable mediums (collectively “system”) discussed herein may be configured to enable a single mobile application to receive dynamically customized content. The criteria and/or preferences that influence the dynamically customized content may be defined by a user and/or may be automatically detected by a user device. The criteria and/or preferences may be associated with the mobile application and/or a mobile device operating the mobile application. The criteria and/or preferences may be provided as part of a request for content to a content distribution system.
