Internet Content Delivery Resource Allocation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Internet Television (ITV) platforms face quality of service (QOS) and reliability issues due to the lack of resource allocation and differentiated processing for live video broadcasts compared to other data types, leading to service degradation when competing with other data on the same channel.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that condition and allocate resources for Internet content based on its type, ensuring tailored delivery to customer premise devices, involving processors, network policies, and devices that manage requests for television or Internet services to prioritize and optimize the delivery of Internet content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If Internet content is delivered without resource allocation and differentiated processing, then device complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but quality of service and reliability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating processing and resource allocation based on the type of Internet content being delivered. Different content types (e.g., video, audio, data) receive tailored processing treatments and resource allocations, allowing the system to maintain simplicity for standard content while providing enhanced reliability and quality of service for content requiring special handling, thus resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and service quality
2Device complexity
If Internet content is processed without consideration of data type, then device complexity is reduced, but quality of service and reliability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements parameter changes by modifying processing parameters and resource allocation based on the identified type of Internet content. The system changes processing characteristics (such as prioritization, buffering, error correction) according to content type parameters, enabling differentiated service quality without requiring complete system redesign, thus balancing device complexity with improved reliability
3Device complexity
If resources are not allocated specifically for Internet content delivery, then device complexity is reduced, but quality of service and reliability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the content delivery process into distinct segments with specific resource allocation for different content types. The system segments the delivery process to identify and prioritize critical content streams, allocating dedicated resources for time-sensitive or reliability-critical content while maintaining simpler handling for less critical content, thus improving quality of service without proportionally increasing overall device complexity

AI summary
A method may include providing a service to a customer premise device, the service including at least one of television service or Internet service, receiving a request for Internet content from the customer premise device, retrieving the Internet content, conditioning the Internet content according to at least one of a type of data of the Internet content or the service from which the request is received, allocating resources for delivering the Internet content based on one or more requirements associated with the type of data of the Internet content, and delivering the Internet content to the customer premise device.
