Automated Media Package Generation for Online Store Ingestion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Independent media content creators lack the resources and expertise to efficiently submit media files to online downloading stores, as the process is complex and requires meeting various parameters.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for generating a media package configured for ingestion into online media stores, utilizing a compressor application to receive and process media files, retrieve metadata, and generate packages in formats like iTMSP, simplifying the submission process by integrating with existing compression tools like Apple's Compressor.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If independent media content creators manually prepare and submit media files to online downloading stores, then the media files can be ingested into the store, but the process is complicated and time consuming due to multiple parameters and criteria
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system that automatically prepares media files for submission by handling metadata generation, format conversion, and compliance checking. This intermediary layer between the creator and the online store simplifies the complex submission process while ensuring all technical criteria are met.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically generating required metadata, converting media formats, and validating files against store criteria before submission. This pre-processing ensures compliance without requiring the creator to manually handle complex technical requirements.
2Reliability
If independent media content creators manually prepare media files meeting all store criteria, then proper ingestion is achieved, but the process is time consuming and requires dedicated resources
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by allowing creators to simply upload media files without needing to manually prepare metadata or format conversions. The system automatically handles all technical requirements, making the process as simple as file upload while ensuring full compliance with store criteria.
Solution Approach 2:
An automated intermediary system handles the time-consuming tasks of metadata generation, format validation, and compliance checking, replacing manual processes with automated operations that complete these tasks in minutes rather than hours or days.
3Ease of manufacture
If independent media content creators lack dedicated teams and resources, then cost is reduced, but the ability to meet online store submission criteria is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides universal functionality by offering automated media preparation capabilities to all creators regardless of their resources. A single tool performs multiple functions including format conversion, metadata generation, validation, and package creation, making professional-grade submission capabilities accessible to independent creators without dedicated teams.
Data Source
AI summary
A system and method of delivering a media package to an on-line downloading store are disclosed. The method includes receiving a media file into a compressor application in which at least one compression job is assigned for the media file. The method further includes receiving setting data and destination data for storing a media package associated with processing the media file. The method next includes retrieving pre-defined asset metadata based on user-submitted credential data and vendor identification data, receiving contract acceptance data based on a pre-existing contract associated with the media file and generating a media package configured for ingestion into the on-line media store for each at least one compression job assigned to the media file.
