CACHE-BASED CONTENT DISTRIBUTION NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18419123 titled 'CACHE-BASED CONTENT DISTRIBUTION NETWORK

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a computer-implemented content delivery system that involves caching a source content with bridge points. When a user interacts with the content during playback, a template is selected from cached templates based on the user event. A bridge is dynamically generated to link the selected bridge point with the template. Additionally, a target content is selected and conveyed to the user's device for playback after the bridge point.

The system caches a source content with bridge points.
User interactions during playback trigger the selection of a template from cached templates.
A bridge is dynamically generated to link the bridge point with the selected template.
A target content is selected and delivered to the user's device for playback after the bridge point.

Potential Applications: This technology could be applied in interactive video streaming platforms, personalized content delivery systems, and online learning platforms where user interactions can trigger customized content delivery.

Problems Solved: The technology addresses the need for dynamic and personalized content delivery based on user interactions during playback. It enhances user engagement and provides a more tailored viewing experience.

Benefits: - Improved user engagement through personalized content delivery - Enhanced viewing experience with dynamically generated bridges - Increased user satisfaction with targeted content delivery

Commercial Applications: Title: Personalized Content Delivery System for Enhanced User Engagement This technology could be utilized in streaming services, e-learning platforms, and marketing campaigns to deliver tailored content based on user interactions, leading to increased user engagement and satisfaction.

Prior Art: While there may be prior art related to content delivery systems and user interaction triggers, further research is needed to identify specific patents or technologies similar to the described system.

Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing research in personalized content delivery systems, user engagement analytics, and dynamic content generation could provide valuable insights into the advancement and optimization of this technology.

Questions about Computer-Implemented Content Delivery: 1. How does the system determine which template to select based on user interactions? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing a dynamic content delivery system like this?

Original Abstract Submitted

Computer-implemented content delivery includes caching a source content having a plurality of bridge points. A user event indicating an interaction with a user is received. The user event is received during playback of the source content. In response to the user event, a template is selected from a plurality of cached templates. The template corresponds to a bridge point selected from the plurality of bridge points of the source content as an exit point from the source content. In response to the user event, a bridge is dynamically generated. The bridge links the bridge point with the template. In response to the user event, a target content is selected from a plurality of cached target contents. In response to the user event, the bridge, the template, and the target content is conveyed to a device of the user for playback following the bridge point of the source content.
