Abstract

A system and method for managing distribution of multi-formatted content. According to an embodiment, a content aggregation platform provides a user interface to receive a location of content to be provided to the content aggregation platform by a content provider in a source format native to the content provider, and transformation instructions describing how to transform the source format of the content into a platform format native to the content aggregation platform, receives the content location and the transformation instructions via the user interface, and stores the content location and the transformation instructions in a database to support subsequent delivery of the content to one or more users for display.

Description

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING
DISTRIBUTION OF MULTI-FORMATTED CONTENT
Cross Reference To Related Applications [0001] This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. 119(e) of U.S.
Provisional Application No. 60/776,967, fiied February 24, 2006, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

Background of the Invention
[0002] It is well understood that a computing device can only display conterit that is of a format recognizable by the device's display software. It is the responsibility of the content provider to ensure that any content that it delivers over a network to a user's computing device is formatted appropriately for display on.that particular user's device, or else the device will be unable to render the content correctly, if at all.
[0003] Taking into account the ever-increasing types of available content (e.g., web pages, feeds, videos, music, programs, etc.), in addition to the various types of computing devices that display content (e.g., PCs, mobile phones, handheld computing devices, etc.), this responsibility of providing multi-formatted content becomes a great burden to many content providers.
[0004] Accordingly, there is a need in the art for a system and methbd to provide displayable content to users in a less burdensome fashion.

[0009] FIG. 5 is a block diagram that depicts a computing device in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

Detailed Description
[0010] The present invention reduces the content provider's burden of providing multi-formatted content by introducing a content distribution system that accepts content in its native format from a content provider, and makes any necessary transformations to the content's format so that the system can deliver displayable content to users.
[0011] FIG. 1 depicts a content distribution system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The aggregation platform (120) upon which the content distribution system is based includes a configuration user interface (130), database (140), transformation engine (150) and delivery engine (160).
FIG. 2 describes a process associated with a configuration phase (100) of the content distribution system, and FIG. 4 describes a process associated with a delivery phase (105) of the system.
[0012] In the configuration phase (100), the aggregation platform (120) provides a user interface (step 200) over a network (115) to a content provider (110) and an administrator (170) of the system. The content provider (110) inputs (step 210) into the UI (130) a location of content (132) to be provided to the aggregation platform (120) in the delivery phase (105). To ease the burden of the content provider (110), it need not alter the format of the source content to be delivered to the aggregation platform (120); the delivered content may remain in the source format native to the content provider (110). The platform (120) then stores (step 220) the content location (132) in the database (140) in association with the content provider's profile.
[0013] The content location may be expressed as a URL, for example. The source format may include, for example, podcast, RSS, NewsML, sportsML and/or a customized XML format.
[0014] In order to enable the aggregation platform (120) to recognize the content provider's source-formatted content (112) so.that the platform (120) may process the content for delivery to users, the administrator (170) reviews the source format of the content and inputs (step 230) into the user interface (130) transformation instructions (134) describing how to transform the source format into a platform format native to the aggregation platform (120). The platform (120) then stores (step 240) the transformation instructions (134) in the database (140) in association with the content provider's profile.
[0015] FIG. 3 depicts a screen shot of a user interface (130) for creating a content feed via a content distribution system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The user interface (130) reflects that the content provider (110) has entered "http://ftp.wwe.com/smackdown/preview" in the URL field to denote the content location (132), and the administrator (170) has entered transformation instructions (134) in the "XSLT" (extensible stylesheet language transformation) field, pertaining to an XML transformation.
[0016] Through the use of a such an interface (130), which may be provided as a web interface over the Internet, distribution partners and content partners associated with the content distribution system may establish feeds and programs/subscriptions very quickly and easily. A distribution partner can set up programs using any feeds available on the platform, including feeds that are provided by an unrelated third-party. This capability advantageously enables distribution -partners who have an expertise in distribution and marketing, but not necessarily an expertise in or a capability of generating content, to offer a wider range of content in their subscriptions. Similarly, a content partner that generates content but does not want to market and sign up subscribers can obtain a revenue stream from their content by allowing distribution partners to distribute the content using the aggregation platform (120). As described above, the content provider (110) does not have to change the content from its native format. The platform (120) transforms the input and ensures proper compatibility with the end user's device.
[0017] In the delivery phase (105), the content provider (110) provides (step 400) the source-formatted content (112) to the platform (120). The transformation engine (150) receives the source-formatted content (112), and then retrieves (step 410) the transformation instructions (134) associated with this content from the database (140) so that it can transform (step 420) the source format of the content into the platform format in accordance with the retrieved instructions, and store the resulting platform-formatted content (155) in the database (140).
[0018] The delivery engine (160) subsequently retrieves (step 430) the platform-formatted content (155) from the database (140), transforms (step 440) the platform format of the platform-formatted content (155) into a delivery format recognizable by display software associated with a user (180), and delivers the delivery-formatted content (165) to the user (180) for display (step 450).
[0019] The following example illustrates a transformation of source-formatted content (112) into platform-formatted content (155) in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Suppose LISTING 1 represents source-formatted content (112) that is an XML-based RSS feed:
