Dynamic Content Interface Generation via Virtual Channel Mapping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing content interfaces, such as channel maps, fail to account for variations in device system parameters like entitlements and capabilities, leading to inefficiencies and inconsistencies in service delivery.
Innovation Solution
A system and method to dynamically generate content interfaces based on device capabilities and user entitlements, where dynamic channel maps are created for each device, tailoring the content interface to the device's capabilities and the user's subscription tier, using a virtual channel system to ensure consistent service access across different devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple channel maps are maintained to account for different device capabilities and user entitlements, then service delivery accuracy is improved, but system complexity and maintenance burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic channel map generation where the system automatically creates and updates channel maps based on real-time device capabilities and user entitlements. Instead of maintaining multiple static channel maps, the system dynamically generates appropriate channel maps on-demand, reducing maintenance complexity while ensuring accurate service delivery for each device-user combination.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters (device capabilities and user entitlements) to generate different channel maps. By monitoring changes in these parameters and automatically regenerating channel maps when parameters change, the system maintains accuracy without requiring manual maintenance of multiple fixed maps, thus reducing complexity.
2Device complexity
If static channel maps are used for all devices, then system maintenance is simplified, but service delivery accuracy deteriorates due to inability to account for device-specific capabilities and entitlements
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically generating channel maps based on device capabilities and user entitlements without requiring manual intervention. The system monitors parameter changes and autonomously updates channel maps, maintaining service delivery accuracy while keeping maintenance simple through automation rather than manual management of multiple static maps.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the static channel map approach into a dynamic system that automatically adapts to different device capabilities and user entitlements. The channel maps are generated on-demand and updated when parameters change, ensuring service delivery accuracy without the maintenance burden of manually managing multiple static maps.
3Reliability
If dynamic channel maps are generated for each device, then service delivery accuracy is improved, but processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing and caching channel map generation logic and entitlement data. When a device requests a channel map, the system can quickly generate the appropriate map by retrieving pre-processed data and applying device-specific parameters, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining accurate service delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms to monitor device capabilities and user entitlements, automatically triggering channel map regeneration only when necessary. This feedback-driven approach avoids unnecessary processing and computational resources while ensuring channel maps remain accurate, thus reducing time loss without compromising service delivery accuracy.
4Adaptability or versatility
If multiple static channel maps are maintained for different user tiers, then user entitlement differentiation is achieved, but inefficiencies increase due to manual management and updates
Solution Approach 1:
The system eliminates manual management of multiple static channel maps by implementing self-service automation. The system automatically generates and updates channel maps based on user entitlements and device capabilities, maintaining proper user differentiation while dramatically improving maintenance efficiency through automated processes that adapt in real-time without human intervention.

AI summary
Example embodiments relate to generation of dynamic content interfaces based on device capabilities and user entitlements. Multiple devices associated with a user account may each request a content interface. Generation of the content interfaces may be based on capability information of the devices and a tier entitlement associated with the user account. A service included in both the content interfaces may be assigned a same virtual channel in each of the content interfaces.
