Solution Overview

Problem

The existing methods for gathering and reporting video content information are outdated, leading to advertising decisions being made with stale data, as rating information is typically presented in infrequent ratings books, resulting in aged data being used for critical advertising determinations.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method that aggregates video content information and end destination information, processing it to generate published content on a publically-accessible medium, including graphical and social networking spaces, providing real-time or near real-time reporting of video content experiences across various geographic areas.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If rating information is compiled and released in traditional ratings books every three months, then the information can be thoroughly processed and verified, but the data becomes stale and aged before decisions are made

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of rating informationVSAvoidtimeliness of rating information
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the traditional mechanical publishing system (ratings books compiled every three months) with an electronic information delivery system that transmits rating data directly to portable devices and displays in real-time or near real-time, eliminating the time delay inherent in traditional publishing cycles

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions from static, periodic rating updates to dynamic, continuous rating information delivery, allowing rating data to be updated and accessed continuously rather than in fixed three-month intervals, thereby maintaining currentness without sacrificing accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Loss of time

If real-time video content information is collected and displayed across multiple devices, then advertising decisions can be made with current data, but the system complexity increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefreshness of advertising dataVSAvoidcomplexity of information collection system
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the information collection and delivery function into separate components: a rating information collection process that gathers data from multiple video delivery devices, and a publishing process that selectively delivers aggregated information to portable devices, allowing each component to operate independently and reducing overall system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a universal platform that can collect video content information from various sources (broadcast television, internet video, video on demand) and deliver it through multiple channels (portable media players, mobile phones, tablets) using a common architecture, thereby managing complexity through standardization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Video content information of video content is received by a first computing device. The video content is received from web sites and the video content information includes one or more of a video identifier, an identity of the web sites, and an identity of an internet service provider related to accessing the one or more web sites. End destination information associated with a reception instance of the video content is received. The end destination information includes experience information that, at least in part, includes information relating to a quality of the received video content and a location of an end destination associated with the reception instance of the video content. The video content information and the end destination information are selectively aggregated by another device to generate aggregated information. The video content information includes at least a portion of the information of the quality of the reception instance.
