Solution Overview

Problem

Existing media delivery systems face challenges in providing customized content to users, inefficient use of network resources, lack of interactivity between users and advertisers, and difficulties in managing digital rights, particularly in wireless telecommunications networks.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for delivering customized content to user devices via wireless data networks, utilizing static, dynamic, and on-demand content elements, with compilation data transmitted during off-peak hours or via alternative communication links, allowing users to interact with and modify content in real-time, and incorporating user feedback to tailor programming based on demographics and preferences.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If media content is delivered over wireless networks to meet consumer demand, then user access to customized content is improved, but network capacity becomes insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomized content deliveryVSAvoidnetwork capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments content delivery into three distinct types: static content elements delivered during off-peak hours, dynamic content elements delivered according to a schedule, and on-demand content elements delivered immediately upon user request. This segmentation allows the system to optimize network resource usage by delivering different content types through different delivery mechanisms, thereby improving customized content delivery without overwhelming network capacity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary action by delivering static content elements during off-peak hours before users need them. Compilation data and static content are pre-delivered to user devices when network capacity is more available, reducing the need for real-time network resources during peak usage periods while still enabling customized content delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of energy

If traditional broadcast media is used, then network resources are efficiently utilized, but content customization and user interaction are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork resource efficiencyVSAvoidcontent customization
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces dynamics by implementing a hybrid delivery system that adapts to different content types and user needs. The system dynamically selects delivery methods: static content is delivered during off-peak hours, dynamic content follows a schedule, and on-demand content is delivered immediately. This dynamic approach maintains network resource efficiency while enabling content customization and user interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by categorizing content into three types (static, dynamic, on-demand) with different delivery parameters. Each content type has specific delivery timing, network resource allocation, and update frequency parameters. This allows the system to optimize network resource usage for each content type while providing customized content and user interaction capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Speed

If content is delivered during peak hours, then user access speed is improved, but network capacity is exceeded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent access speedVSAvoidnetwork capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic action by delivering static content elements during off-peak hours when network capacity is more available. The system uses periodic delivery schedules for dynamic content elements and reserves immediate delivery capability for on-demand content. This periodic delivery approach ensures user access speed is maintained while preventing network capacity exhaustion during peak periods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

A method and system for delivering content to a plurality of devices is provided. In one embodiment, the method may be for delivering content elements of one or more presentations to a device configured to communicate via a wireless data network, wherein the content elements include static content elements, dynamic content elements, and on-demand content elements. The method may comprise delivering to the device, data, such as compilation data, of the content elements included in the one or more presentations; delivering the static content elements to the device via the wireless data network during one or more time periods of increased available wireless data network capacity; delivering the dynamic content elements to the device via the wireless data network substantially according to a schedule; and delivering the on-demand content elements to the device via the wireless data network substantially immediately after a user request for an on-demand content element.
