Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

The integration of content delivery across both wireline and wireless networks is challenging due to redundancy at integration points, disparate content management systems, inflexibility in supporting new content types, and difficulty in extending or customizing functionality to add new capabilities, limiting the ability to provide content across a wide range of mobile devices communicating through various channels.

Innovation Solution

A platform that manages content delivery through multiple access channels, featuring a portal for receiving requests, an identity management module to determine user identity, a content manager for eligible content determination, and a billing module for processing transactions, allowing for seamless delivery of content to users across various devices and networks.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If separate content management systems are used for wireline and wireless networks, then each network can be managed independently, but integration becomes difficult and redundant

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork independenceVSAvoidintegration complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges wireline and wireless content management systems into a unified platform that handles both network types through common management interfaces and centralized content repositories, eliminating the need for separate management systems while maintaining network-specific delivery capabilities

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The content management platform is designed with universal functionality to manage content for multiple network types (wireline and wireless) simultaneously, using adaptable delivery mechanisms that can accommodate different network characteristics through a single system architecture

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If multiple content management systems are deployed for different networks, then network-specific optimization is achieved, but redundancy occurs at integration points

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork optimizationVSAvoidsystem redundancy

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the redundant integration layer by implementing direct multi-channel delivery from a single content management system to various network types, removing the need for intermediate integration components that caused redundancy while preserving network-specific optimization capabilities

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Stability of the object's composition

If traditional content management systems are used, then existing functionality is maintained, but flexibility to support new content types is limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesystem stabilityVSAvoidcontent type flexibility

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The content management platform implements dynamic adaptability through configurable delivery mechanisms and extensible content type support that can accommodate new content formats and delivery requirements without restructuring the core system architecture, allowing the system to evolve while maintaining stability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

4Reliability

If separate platforms are used for wireline and wireless content delivery, then each platform can be optimized for its specific network, but cross-selling becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork optimizationVSAvoidcross-selling capability

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The unified content management platform provides universal access and management capabilities across wireline and wireless networks, enabling operators to manage and promote content portfolios consistently across different network types, thereby facilitating cross-selling opportunities while maintaining network-specific optimization

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A platform for managing delivery of content originating from one or more content providers to users is provided. The platform includes a portal that is configured to support access through a plurality of access channels configured to receive requests through one or more access channels. A request for content is received from an access device through an access channel. An identity management module is configured to determine a user associated with the message. A content manager is configured to manage content for delivery through the plurality of access channels and configured to determine eligible content for the user. A billing module is configured to process billing for the user and content provider based on the content provided to the user. The content manager is then configured to deliver the requested content to the user's access device through the access channel.
