Solution Overview

Problem

The increasing diversity of user devices and content company strategies complicates the delivery of personalized video content across different platforms, leading to inconsistent access and potential intellectual property piracy issues.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for creating personalized video feeds by aggregating and filtering content from various Internet services based on user preferences and criteria, using first- and second-stage filters to ensure video-specific content delivery.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If content is delivered across multiple platforms and devices, then user accessibility is improved, but intellectual property piracy risk increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser accessibilityVSAvoidpiracy risk

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements device-specific content delivery where the same content is encoded in different formats for different devices (set-top boxes, personal computers, mobile devices). Each device receives content optimized for its specific capabilities, which maintains accessibility while reducing piracy risk through format-specific protection mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes content parameters (encoding format, resolution, bitrate) based on the requesting device type. Content is delivered in multiple versions with different technical parameters, allowing broad accessibility while making unauthorized copying more difficult through format-specific protection and optimization.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If personalized video feeds are created by aggregating content from multiple Internet services, then user preference matching is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser preference matchingVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the content aggregation system into distinct functional modules: a content acquisition module that collects feeds from multiple Internet services, a filtering module that applies user-defined criteria, and a delivery module that personalizes and sends content. This segmentation manages complexity by organizing the system into independent, manageable components.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer between content sources and users that aggregates feeds from multiple Internet services, applies filtering rules, and delivers personalized content. This intermediary manages the complexity of multi-source aggregation by providing a unified interface and centralized control logic.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A video aggregation system for providing a user personalized video content from videos available on the Internet generates a selective feed by combining a first feed and a second feed. The video aggregation system receives a search request from an Internet service and transmits a search reply containing a separately resolvable link to a video content object from the selective feed.
