Mobile Content Orchestration via Metadata Envelopes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile content delivery systems lack effective coordination between content processing and external enablers, such as presence, location, and compression functions, which are not inherently part of the core functionality of content delivery frameworks, leading to inefficiencies in dynamic content delivery.
Innovation Solution
The system embeds metadata with processing coordination rules and external namespace declarations within XML schemas to map coordination instructions to external enabler functions, allowing for low coupling between services and enabling the use of external enablers for content processing during delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If external enablers are integrated into the content delivery framework, then the functionality and personalization of content delivery is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a metadata envelope as an intermediary layer between the content delivery framework and external enablers. This envelope contains processing coordination rules that orchestrate interactions with external services (presence, location, compression) without requiring direct integration into the core delivery framework, thus maintaining low coupling while enabling enhanced functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments the content delivery process into distinct functional modules handled by separate external enablers. Each enabler (presence, location, compression) operates as an independent service that can be selectively invoked through metadata instructions, allowing the system to gain versatility without monolithic complexity
2Productivity
If metadata with processing coordination rules is embedded in content packages, then the coordination of external enablers is improved, but the processing overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The metadata envelope with processing coordination rules is prepared and embedded in advance with the content package. This preliminary configuration of coordination instructions allows external enablers to be invoked efficiently during delivery without requiring complex runtime decision-making, reducing processing overhead while maintaining coordination effectiveness

AI summary
A method and system for coordinating content processing in a mobile delivery framework, the method having the steps of embedding a reference to an external enabler (132, 134, 136, 144, 146, 148) within metadata (430) associated with content (412), the external enabler being used to operate on said content prior to one or both of delivery of the content and presentation of the content.
