Geospatial Media Stream Routing Between Broadcast Sources
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Receivers face challenges in identifying and receiving media streams from broadcast sources due to geographical limitations and radio-frequency interference, especially when traveling, as they may drop out of range and struggle to identify compatible sources.
Innovation Solution
A MapView system that utilizes geospatial data to identify and route media streams based on user location, enabling seamless transitions between broadcast sources by predicting and presenting media streams based on planned routes or real-time geolocation, using machine-learning models to filter and prioritize sources based on user preferences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If receivers use radio-frequency-based communications to receive broadcast media, then media can be transmitted over air waves, but receivers are limited to positions within a predetermined distance of the broadcast source
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a secondary broadcast channel (Internet or alternative communication network) as an intermediary to deliver media streams. This mediator enables receivers to access broadcast content beyond the traditional radio-frequency range, eliminating the physical distance constraint while maintaining broadcast source identity through geospatial identification
2Adaptability or versatility
If receivers scan multiple radio frequencies to identify new broadcast sources, then they can discover available sources, but the process is time-consuming and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-mapping broadcast sources to specific geographical locations and storing this information in advance. When a receiver needs to identify broadcast sources, the system queries the pre-stored geospatial data based on the receiver's current location, eliminating the need for real-time frequency scanning and significantly reducing identification time
3Area of stationary object
If broadcast sources operate over multiple radio frequencies to expand coverage, then more receivers can access media, but it becomes difficult to identify comparable sources and match user preferences
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by associating specific broadcast sources with specific geographical locations rather than treating all broadcast sources uniformly. The system stores geospatial information (location, coverage area) for each broadcast source and uses this localized data to determine which sources are comparable and appropriate for users at different positions, making source identification and preference matching straightforward despite multi-frequency operation

AI summary
Systems and methods are provided for presenting media streams based on changes in geolocation. A MapView system may receive a first positioning signal indicating a first geographical location of a user device. The MapView system may determine a first media stream to be presented by the user device based on the first geographical location and a location of a source of the first media stream. The MapView system may then facilitate a presentation of the first media stream by the user device. When the MapView system receives a second positioning signal indicating a second geographical location of the user device, the MapView may identify, a second media stream to be presented by the user device based on the second geographical location being in broadcast range of the second media stream. The MapView system may then facilitate a presentation of the second media stream by the user device.
