Performance Venue Content Archiving and Rights Attribution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems lack a reliable method for capturing and archiving performance content in commercial venues, including music and video, and fail to accurately monitor and track crowd demographics and audience size, which hinders targeted advertising and performance rights attribution.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising computing devices in venues that capture and store audio and video content, encrypting it for authenticity, and transmitting it to a central server for archiving and analysis, along with audience data collection using lighting devices with packet sniffers to identify patron demographics, enabling targeted advertising and performance rights management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a system captures and archives full audio and video content from commercial venues, then the reliability of performance rights attribution is improved, but the device complexity and data storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and separates individual work files from the complete archived content. The server stores full audio and video recordings, but when access is needed, it separates and provides only the specific individual work files required for rights attribution, reducing the complexity of data access and management while maintaining complete archive reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates encrypted copies of performance content data records and transmits them to a central server for archiving. This allows the original venue systems to maintain operational simplicity while the server stores comprehensive archived copies for reliable rights attribution and auditing
2Measurement precision
If the system collects and analyzes audience demographic data using lighting devices and packet sniffers, then the effectiveness of targeted advertising is improved, but the invasion of privacy and ethical concerns increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses lighting devices as intermediary components that can perform dual functions - providing illumination for the venue and simultaneously capturing audience demographic data through integrated packet sniffers and sensors. This intermediary approach allows demographic collection without requiring separate dedicated monitoring equipment, reducing the perceived intrusiveness while maintaining measurement precision
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows venues to self-determine their advertising preferences and demographic data usage policies. Venue operators can configure what demographic data is collected, how it is used for advertising, and can opt-out of certain data collection practices, giving them control over the privacy implications while still enabling targeted advertising when desired
3Reliability
If the system encrypts and transmits content data records from multiple venues to a central server, then the security and authenticity verification are improved, but the data transmission time and processing overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs encryption of content data records at the source (venue level) before transmission to the central server. By preliminarily encrypting the data at the venue, the system ensures authenticity and security are established before data leaves the venue, reducing the need for complex verification procedures at the server and minimizing processing overhead and transmission time
Solution Approach 2:
The system separates the encryption function from the transmission and storage functions. Each venue independently encrypts its own content data records using local encryption keys, segmenting the security responsibility. This allows the central server to receive already-encrypted data without needing to perform time-consuming encryption operations, reducing overall data transmission and processing time
Data Source
AI summary
A system for auditing performance data in commercial venues having one or more computing devices located in venues where live or pre-recorded music is performed. The computing devices capture and store content in each venue using at least one audio input configured for professional audio performances. The computing devices store the content as a content data record with associated identifiers for date, time, and venue location. The content data records are transferred from each venue to a central server. Encryption keys encrypt the content data records from each venue to verify the authenticity of the content transmitted from the venues to the server. The server includes a processor for opening, reviewing, and separating the content data records from each venue into distinct files, each file comprising an individual work performed in the venue. The system further includes an interface for providing access to the archived content data records at the server.
