Mobile Content Delivery via Pre-Transmission and Local Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile communication systems face capacity limitations in delivering substantial content data to a large number of users in real-time, particularly during events like TV or radio programs, which hinders the provision of interactive services and mass events.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that transmit data associated with content presentation to mobile user equipment, where the data includes timing parameters or triggering signals, allowing delayed presentation based on stored data, optimizing network capacity by enabling off-peak data transmission and encrypting content for secure timed delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If real-time data transmission is used to deliver content to mobile users during events, then content delivery speed is improved, but network capacity is exceeded and system reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by transmitting and storing content data in the mobile user equipment before the actual event occurs. The network delivers complete content datasets in advance during off-peak periods, and the user equipment stores this data locally. During the live event, the pre-stored data is activated and displayed without requiring real-time network transmission, thus avoiding network capacity overload while ensuring reliable content delivery.
2Loss of time
If data is transmitted to all users simultaneously during an event, then content freshness is improved, but network load increases and productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the content delivery process into two distinct phases: an off-line phase where complete content datasets are transmitted to user equipment during off-peak periods, and an on-line phase where only lightweight activation signals are transmitted during the live event. This segmentation allows the bulk data transfer to occur when network load is low, while event-time transmissions remain minimal, thus maintaining content freshness without overwhelming network capacity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If more content data is transmitted to enhance service quality, then service versatility is improved, but transmission capacity requirements increase and device complexity worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-transmitting complete content datasets including all necessary content and associated data to the user equipment before the event. The user equipment stores this comprehensive dataset locally and activates it during the event by matching event identifiers with stored content identifiers. This approach enables rich, versatile content delivery without requiring complex real-time data management or large buffer memory, as the data is prepared in advance.
Data Source
AI summary
The present invention relates to presentation of content to mobile users. In the method, data associated with presentation of content is transmitted from a communication system, the data including information regarding an event. The data is received at mobile user equipment and stored in a memory of the mobile user equipment. In response to the event, presentation of the content is triggered. The presentation is based on the data stored in the memory of the mobile user equipment.
