Unified Numbering System for Content Tracking and Personalization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current AM/FM and Internet radio broadcasts deliver the same content to all users without the ability to personalize or track secondary content effectively, lacking a unified system for managing and delivering diverse content from different providers.
Innovation Solution
A processing system employing a unified numbering system (UNS) to assign unique identifiers to content from various providers, allowing for personalized delivery based on user preferences and enabling tracking of public performances and royalty payments, while integrating enhanced content from different sources.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a unified numbering system is implemented to manage content from multiple providers, then content tracking and delivery precision are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a unified numbering system (UNS) that serves multiple functions: identifying content from different providers, tracking public performances, managing royalty payments, and enabling personalized content delivery. This universal identifier system resolves the contradiction by providing precise content tracking across diverse sources while using a standardized approach that manages rather than exacerbates system complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If personalized content delivery is enabled based on user preferences, then user satisfaction and content relevance are improved, but information processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-processes and stores content metadata, including UNS identifiers and provider information, in advance before delivery is needed. User preferences are captured and stored for future matching. When content delivery is requested, the system performs efficient matching between pre-stored metadata and user preferences, reducing real-time information processing requirements while maintaining high personalization capability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple content providers are integrated into a single system, then content diversity and user choice are improved, but system management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The unified numbering system acts as an intermediary layer between multiple content providers and the delivery system. Each provider continues to operate independently with their own content management, while the UNS provides a standardized interface for identification, tracking, and integration. This mediator approach enables content diversity from multiple providers while managing integration complexity through standardization rather than direct complex interconnections.

AI summary
A method for use in a processing system includes receiving information regarding a work, where the information does not include a valid unified numbering system identifier that identifies a particular work of a plurality of works, and where the information includes one or more received attributes associated with the work. The method further includes obtaining a plurality of sets of attributes from one or more databases, which include a set of attributes associated with each work of the plurality of works. The method further includes determining whether a threshold number for a set of attributes of the plurality of sets of attributes matches corresponding ones of the one or more received attributes. When the threshold number does not match, the method further includes assigning a new unified numbering system identifier associated with the work and storing the new unified numbering system identifier in a database of the processing system.
