Logic-Based URL Resolution for Dynamic Content Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional data communication systems using QR codes and NFC devices provide static information, limiting the dynamic delivery of multimedia content based on location and user context.
Innovation Solution
A logic-based uniform resource locator resolution system that uses a server to redirect mobile devices to dynamic multimedia content by determining URL redirection information based on the location and context of the code or proximity device, allowing for different content to be delivered based on location, time, and user requests.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If static information is provided through QR codes and NFC devices, then the system is simple and reliable, but the ability to dynamically deliver multimedia content based on location and user context is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the mobile device and the content delivery system. The server receives the uniform resource locator from the QR code or NFC device, determines the appropriate multimedia content based on location and context, and delivers the resolved content to the user. This mediator approach allows dynamic content delivery without requiring complex logic in the mobile device or the static code/NFC tag themselves.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds temporal and spatial dimensions to the previously static uniform resource locator. By incorporating location information, time stamps, and user context into the content resolution process, the system transforms from delivering fixed content to delivering context-aware dynamic content. The same uniform resource locator can resolve to different multimedia content depending on when and where it is accessed.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the same uniform resource locator is used across different locations, then the code can be universally applied, but the content delivered does not account for location-specific relevance
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the server receives location information, time data, and user context in response to the uniform resource locator request. This feedback loop allows the server to determine the most relevant multimedia content for the specific situation and deliver it to the user, ensuring location-specific relevance while maintaining universal code applicability.
Data Source
AI summary
A method and system for a logic-based uniform resource locator resolution are described in which a server may receive a request from a mobile device. The request may be based on a uniform resource locator (URL) obtained by the mobile device from a code, such as a two-dimensional code, or from a proximity device, such as a near field communication target device. In response to the request, the server may communicate to the mobile device URL redirection information for a URL that provides multimedia content comprising an advertisement, a webpage, a video, a virtual card, a phone number, sound, and/or other like information. The URL redirection information may be selected based on a location that corresponds to the code or the proximity device, which may be the location of the mobile device. The URL redirection information may also be selected based on a rotation schedule stored in the server.
