Personalized Multimedia Broadcasting via IMS Server
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile telecommunications systems face limitations in providing personalized multimedia broadcasting/multicasting due to high costs, lack of geographic granularity, and the need for dedicated packet data sessions, which restricts user adoption and scalability.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for personalized multimedia broadcasting over a Radio Area Network, utilizing an IMS Application Server to receive and manage multimedia content, identify designated recipients, and generate inband broadcast transmissions, allowing Broadcasting Parties to tailor content delivery to specific groups of mobile users via a 'push' model, reducing resource usage and costs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If dedicated packet data sessions are established for each user to receive multimedia content, then content delivery reliability is improved, but network scalability deteriorates due to limited simultaneous user support
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the broadcast service into two distinct modes: dedicated packet data sessions for personalized/interactive content delivery, and in-band broadcast for mass distribution content. This segmentation allows the system to provide reliable content delivery when needed while maintaining network scalability through efficient broadcast mechanisms for general content distribution.
2Productivity
If in-band broadcast transmission is used to increase network capacity, then network scalability is improved, but service personalization deteriorates due to lack of geographic granularity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic service delivery by allowing the system to switch between dedicated session mode and in-band broadcast mode based on content requirements and user preferences. The system dynamically selects the appropriate delivery mechanism, enabling both personalized service and mass distribution capabilities within the same network infrastructure.
3Quantity of substance
If out-of-band transmission is used to avoid bandwidth reduction, then available wireless bandwidth is improved, but service accessibility deteriorates due to high costs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the advantages of both in-band and out-of-band transmission by utilizing in-band resources for broadcast services. This approach eliminates the need for separate out-of-band infrastructure, reducing overall system costs while maintaining bandwidth efficiency through intelligent resource allocation and broadcast mechanisms.

AI summary
A system and method of providing personalized broadcast transmissions Broadcasting-Party-Designated Recipients over a mobile telecommunications Radio Area Network is provided. The Broadcasting Party can send multimedia content for a personalized broadcast to an IMS Application Server in a SIP Message and broadcast the multimedia content to the mobile telecommunications terminals of the Broadcasting-Party-Designated Recipients. The personalized broadcast transmission can be generating using a plurality of unicast transmissions or a multicast transmission made to a multicast channel/address.
