SHARING OF CONTENT COLLECTIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240357197 titled 'SHARING OF CONTENT COLLECTIONS

The present disclosure involves a system for rule-based sharing of content collections, where rules are associated with each collection for adding and viewing content items.

• The program and method store rules with criteria for adding and viewing content items in each collection.
• The system determines when criteria are met for users on different devices.
• Users can generate and add content items to collections based on the rules.
• The system allows for sharing collections with other users based on viewing criteria being met.

Potential Applications: This technology could be used in social media platforms, content sharing apps, and collaborative workspaces where users can create and share content collections based on specific rules.

Problems Solved: This technology streamlines the process of sharing content collections by automating the addition and viewing criteria, making it easier for users to collaborate and share content.

Benefits: Users can efficiently organize and share content collections based on predefined rules, enhancing collaboration and content sharing among individuals and groups.

Commercial Applications: This technology could be valuable for companies developing content management systems, social media platforms, and collaboration tools for businesses and individuals.

Questions about Rule-Based Sharing of Content Collections: 1. How does this technology improve the sharing of content collections compared to traditional methods? 2. What are the potential privacy implications of sharing content collections based on predefined rules?

Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may be exploring ways to enhance the rule-based sharing system by incorporating machine learning algorithms to optimize content recommendations based on user preferences and behaviors.

Original Abstract Submitted

aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a storage medium storing a program and method for rule-based sharing of content collections. the program and method provide for storing, in association with each content collection, a set of rules with first criteria for adding a content item to the content collection, and with second criteria for viewing the content collection; determining, for a first content collection, that the respective first criteria is met for a first user of a first device; providing, based on the determining, for the first user to generate the content item; adding the generated content item to the first content collection; determining, for the first content collection, that the respective second criteria is met for a second user of a second device; and providing, based on the determining, the first content collection to the second device for viewing by the second user.
