Entry Variant Processing for Deduplicated Content Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing software applications are not optimally suited for handling the processing of large volumes of content, leading to inefficient use of computational and storage resources, and often result in content redundancy and conflicts when handling entry variants.
Innovation Solution
A computing system that processes entry variants by distinguishing between base entries and variant portions of content, deduplicating redundant content, and selectively sending relevant content to client devices based on API requests, thereby optimizing storage and reducing network bandwidth usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If generic software applications are used to handle content processing, then ease of operation is improved, but productivity deteriorates due to inefficient processing of large volumes of content
Solution Approach 1:
The content is segmented into base entries and entry variants, allowing the system to process only the necessary portions. The computing system identifies and processes variant portions separately from base entries, improving processing efficiency while maintaining ease of operation through structured content organization.
2Reliability
If all entry variants are stored completely, then reliability is improved by having complete content available, but loss of substance worsens due to redundant storage of duplicate content
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and stores only the variant portions of content separately from the base entries. When an entry variant is needed, the computing system combines the stored base entry with the specific variant portion, eliminating redundant storage while ensuring complete content availability for reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The computing system merges the base entry with the variant portion dynamically when processing API requests. This combining approach allows the system to maintain complete entry variants on-demand without storing all variants fully, reducing storage redundancy while preserving content integrity.
3Device complexity
If variant portions of content are not distinguished, then device complexity is reduced by simpler processing, but loss of information worsens due to inability to identify specific variant content needed
Solution Approach 1:
The computing system performs preliminary identification and categorization of variant portions during content ingestion. By pre-tagging and organizing variant portions separately from base entries, the system enables efficient retrieval and accurate content identification without adding significant processing complexity during operations.
4Reliability
If complete entries are sent in each API request, then reliability is improved by ensuring complete content delivery, but loss of energy worsens due to excessive network bandwidth consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The computing system extracts and sends only the specific variant portions that differ from the base entry in each API response. The client device receives the base entry once and then receives only the incremental variant portions, ensuring complete content delivery while minimizing network bandwidth consumption.
Data Source
AI summary
Methods, systems, devices, and non-transitory computer readable media for processing content are provided. The disclosed technology can include receiving entries comprising base entries and entry variants. Variant portions of the content comprising portions of content that are included in the entry variants and portions of content that are not included in base entries can be determined. The base entries and variant portions of the content can be stored. An application programming interface (API) request comprising attributes associated with a selected entry of the entries can be received. Based on the attributes, the base entry and variant portions of the content that are associated with the selected entry and implemented on the client computing device can be determined. Furthermore, the base entry and the variant portions of the content that are associated with the selected entry and implemented on the client computing device can be sent to the client computing device.
