Metadata Scripting for Personalized Content Matching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current content distribution systems cannot effectively provide content that meets specific viewer needs beyond standard metadata attributes, limiting the ability to filter and deliver content tailored to individual interests, such as job hunting or teen-oriented content.
Innovation Solution
A transmission and reception system that generates and transmits scripts and trigger information to clients to gather user preferences and matches them with provider-side answers, allowing for the distribution of content metadata that includes user and provider-side preferences, enabling personalized content acquisition.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If standard metadata attributes prescribed by standardization organizations are used for content filtering, then content distribution can be carried out with established metadata standards, but content that meets specific viewer needs beyond standard attributes (such as job hunting interests or teen-oriented content) cannot be effectively distributed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments metadata into two distinct types: standard metadata attributes prescribed by standardization organizations and new metadata attributes that capture specific viewer preferences and interests. This segmentation allows the system to maintain compliance with established standards while simultaneously incorporating customized preference data that addresses specific viewer needs such as job hunting interests or teen-oriented content preferences.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimension to the metadata space by introducing preference-based attributes that go beyond the traditional standard attributes. This dimensional expansion transforms the filtering system from relying solely on standardized classification to incorporating a multi-dimensional metadata structure that includes viewer-specific preferences, enabling more precise content matching.
2Adaptability or versatility
If new metadata attributes beyond standard prescriptions are implemented, then content matching specific viewer needs can be distributed, but compatibility with existing standardized systems may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges standard metadata attributes with new preference-based metadata attributes into a unified metadata structure. This combination allows the system to maintain compatibility with existing standardized systems while incorporating customized preference data, ensuring both standard compliance and enhanced content matching capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal metadata framework that can accommodate both standardized attributes and customized preference attributes. This multi-functional metadata structure enables the system to operate within established standards while simultaneously supporting custom content distribution needs, making the system adaptable to various content types and viewer preferences.
3Device complexity
If content filtering is limited to standard metadata attributes, then system simplicity and standard compliance are maintained, but the ability to carry out precise filtering for content meeting viewer needs at the time is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-defining a structured metadata framework that includes both standard and preference-based attributes. This preliminary structuring enables efficient content filtering and matching without requiring complex real-time processing, as the metadata structure is prepared in advance to accommodate various content types and viewer preferences.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a transmission apparatus and method, a reception apparatus and method, and a transmission and reception system by which content which meets the needs at the time can be acquired. A server 11 generates a script PDI-S for obtaining user side PDI-A representative of an answer of a user to a question about the tastes of the user, generates trigger information relating to execution of the PDI-S, and transmits the trigger information and the PDI-S to the client 12 in response to distribution of broadcasting content and transmits, in response to distribution of related content, provider side PDI-A representative of an answer set by a provider, to the question to the client 12. The client 12 executes the PDI-S based on the detection of the trigger information, and carries out matching between the user side PDI-A and the provider side PDI-A to determine acquisition of the related content distributed from the server 11. The present invention can be applied to a broadcasting system which broadcasts a digital television program.
