Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wireless communication devices do not efficiently generate and transfer Footprint and Capabilities Interface (FCI) data in wireless networking environments, affecting the dynamic distribution of media content between content source and destination CDNs.
Innovation Solution
A wireless communication device generates and wirelessly transfers content-delivery data, including media content, interface capabilities, and IP address data, to a wireless communication network for delivery to a content distribution network, using communication protocols like LTE and eMBMS, enabling efficient FCI data transfer and media content distribution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If wireless communication devices use traditional FCI data transfer methods, then data transfer can occur, but the transfer efficiency and effectiveness are insufficient for wireless networking environments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the data format parameters from traditional FCI to compact data structures that include device identifiers, content identifiers, and capability indicators. This parameter transformation enables more efficient encoding and transmission of footprint and capabilities information over wireless networks, directly addressing the inefficiency of traditional methods while maintaining data integrity for synchronization purposes
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts only the essential footprint and capabilities data elements needed for wireless content delivery, separating them from the complete traditional FCI data set. This extraction creates a streamlined data transfer protocol that improves efficiency by transmitting only necessary information while the network reconstructs or retrieves remaining details, thus resolving both efficiency and reliability concerns
2Measurement precision
If wireless communication devices transfer detailed FCI data, then content delivery accuracy improves, but data transfer overhead and network load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments footprint and capabilities data into hierarchical layers: essential identification data transmitted immediately, and detailed capability information transmitted or retrieved on-demand. This segmentation allows the system to achieve content delivery accuracy by providing detailed information when needed while minimizing initial data transfer volume through selective transmission of only critical identification elements first
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements partial action by transmitting a subset of FCI data (essential footprint information) sufficient for initial content delivery operations, rather than transferring the complete data set upfront. This partial transmission achieves adequate content delivery accuracy for most operations while significantly reducing data transfer overhead, with the option to retrieve additional details only when specifically required
Data Source
AI summary
A wireless communication device generates content-delivery data indicating stored media content, content-delivery interface capability, tethered media devices, and Internet Protocol (IP) address data for the wireless communication device and for the tethered media devices. The wireless communication device wirelessly transfers the content-delivery data to a wireless communication network for delivery to a content distribution network. The wireless communication device transfers at least a portion of the stored media content to the wireless communication network for subsequent content delivery.
