Server Content Delivery via Paired Device Identity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems for pairing mobile devices with in-vehicle infotainment systems limit content selection based on user or mobile device identifiers, failing to leverage paired device identification for personalized and tailored content delivery from servers.
Innovation Solution
A method and system where a server receives paired device identity information from a mobile device, determines relevant content based on this information, and sends it back to the mobile device, allowing for personalized content selection and presentation tailored to the paired device, such as applications, audio, or video, by associating the device with its manufacturer or type.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If content selection is based only on user identifier or mobile device identifier, then content delivery is simple and fast, but content personalization and relevance to the paired device are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The content selection system is segmented into multiple independent components: user identifier processing, mobile device identifier processing, and paired device identifier processing. Each component handles a specific aspect of identification, allowing the system to process multiple identifiers separately and combine their results to achieve comprehensive content personalization without overwhelming complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system adds a new dimension to content selection by incorporating paired device identifier information alongside traditional user and mobile device identifiers. This creates a multi-dimensional content selection approach where content is personalized based on user profile, device characteristics, and paired device context simultaneously, enabling more relevant content delivery
2Reliability
If paired device identification is not utilized, then content delivery is faster and simpler, but content relevance to the paired device and user experience are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by obtaining and caching paired device identifier information during the initial pairing process. This identifier is stored and reused for subsequent content selection requests, eliminating the need to repeatedly query paired device information and reducing content selection time while maintaining high content relevance
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where content selection is continuously optimized based on paired device identifier information. The server uses this identifier to retrieve relevant content and provide it back to the mobile device, creating a feedback loop that improves content relevance with each interaction while the cached identifier information speeds up subsequent selections
Data Source
AI summary
A method on a server for providing content to a mobile device is provided. Paired device identity information associated with a device that has been paired to the mobile device is received. Content available from the server based upon the paired device identity information is determined and sent to the mobile device.
