Method and System for Selective broadcasting of Instructions or Media Content to Targeted Electronic Devices Using a Modular Format

Abstract

A distributive instructions transmission system for the performing a task the can be generated by request of a user. A user initiates the process by transmitting a request for instructions for the execution of a chosen task to a remote processing center. The indicated task request will be acted upon by one several options. The processing center immediately generate instructions that will result in the execution of the task, check to see if the task is already requested by other users or take steps to make possible execution of the task. Execution of the requested task can involve the generation of an enhance subset of user instructions that is transmitted to one or many different processors. If needed the task can be divided into smaller task (sub-segments). If more than one process is involved, the processor can be located in a single site, or be remote to one another. If more than one processor is involved in the task, each processor will get sub-set of instructions for each sub-segment of the task.

[0061] A fair queuing network will divide the capacity of the network fairly among the user of the network. If a six-user network has a capacity to transmit 60 Kilobyte per seconds, each user (Media Supplier) will have 10 Kilobyte per second transmitting capacity.

[0062] FIG. 2

[0063] Each arrow represents a down of data on to a network. The data can be one large file that takes up the entire bandwidth allotted in the current queue/cycle (FIG. 2b), or it can be sequential download of several (5) small files that together use the available bandwidth allotted in the current cycle (FIG. 2a).

[0064] FIG. 3

[0065] A large file (File Mega) is subdivided into several small files and is transmitted over a network. The component files are transmitted in the traditional sequential methodology on a network that uses TDM methodology. A multi-channel Medial Supplier will be able to sequentially transmit the subdivided file on one channel (Station 102, channel 1 or Station 102, channel 4).

[0066] FIG. 4

[0067] The Media Suppler (MS) will have a media Request Processing Center (RPC) that will process all incoming request for downloading of select media (video) in its catalog (FIG. 4, Step 6). The Media Supplier catalog will be accessible to both the public and registered consumers via a communication network.

[0068] FIG. 5

[0069] A Large Media (Video) file is subdivided into many smaller sub files (SMF) that can more easily be transmitted over a communication network to consumers. Once the SMF reach the consumer' Digital Media Recorder (DMR), the DMR can store and re-assembled SMF back into a simulated large media file, only now there will be tags that can be read by the consumers DMR that will indicate the viewing palate: General, Restricted, Adult, et cetera). Using the consumers indicated preference, the consumer's DMR will display the media according to their viewing profile.

[0070] FIG. 6A & 6B

[0071] The software in the DMR will assemble the component files into a large file that is in the correct sequence: ABCD. The contents of the assembled file will be viewed by the consumer in the same order as the original video file: “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBCCCCCCCCCCC DDDDDDDDDDDD”.

[0072] FIG. 7A-7E

[0073] Over a communication network a consumer communicates information about desired media (video) download to a Request Processing Center (RPC).

[0074] FIG. 8

[0075] Over a communication network a consumer communicates information about desired media (video) download to a Request Processing Center (RPC).

[0076] FIG. 9

[0077] There is a user (Step 1) contacting a Request Processing Center (RPC) within a Media Supplier (MS) facility (Step 3) via a communication network (Step 2). The RPC will accept inputted instructions transmitted over a communication network from the user.

[0078] The above described the preferred embodiments are intended to illustrate the principles of the invention, but not to limit the scope of the invention.
