Syndicated Content Metadata Embedding for Mobile Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile content delivery systems, such as WAP, SMS, and cell broadcast, lack customization and intelligence, failing to effectively deliver content in various formats to mobile devices based on user capabilities and device specifications.
Innovation Solution
A content publisher is introduced between syndicated content providers and delivery servers to embed metadata, allowing for the transformation and repackaging of content into a unified format for delivery to both wired and wireless clients, ensuring compatibility and customization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If WAP is used to push content to mobile devices, then content delivery capability is provided, but websites must be rewritten to satisfy WAP requirements and provide a uniform site that does not change to accommodate user capabilities
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a WAP gateway as an intermediary component between the content delivery system and mobile devices. This gateway automatically transforms and adapts content to WAP format requirements, eliminating the need for manual website rewriting while maintaining content delivery capability to mobile devices
2Productivity
If broadcast or cell broadcast is used for content delivery, then content can be pushed to users, but delivery cannot be customized to the needs of a particular user or the capabilities of a particular device
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic content delivery system that adapts content delivery based on user profiles, device capabilities, and content characteristics. The system dynamically selects delivery methods, formats, and timing rather than using fixed broadcast approaches, enabling both efficient content pushing and personalized customization
3Adaptability or versatility
If content is provided in different formats, then content diversity is maintained, but the delivery system needs to be capable of delivering content regardless of format which increases system complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal content delivery system that can handle multiple content formats through a unified architecture. The WAP gateway and content management system are designed to automatically detect, transform, and deliver various content formats (text, HTML, binary, etc.) through a single standardized interface, eliminating the need for separate delivery mechanisms for each format
