Definitions

  • the invention relates generally to digital media distribution and the Internet, and specifically to a methodology by which such media content is bundled with expiring advertisements. This provides an advertising/sponsorship revenue stream for the content owners while providing consumers with "free" media content and a proprietary stake therein.
  • the predominant Internet culture is open-source and community oriented, which has created a user expectation of free access and downloads (e.g. most of the software available online) . Businesses, including record companies, have since been scrambling to meet this demand by seeking viable alternatives to the "free model”.
  • the record companies have launched services which use a subscription model for the online distribution of media content.
  • the main problem of such a subscription model is that it fails to meet the existing cultural expectation of getting such content for free on the Internet.
  • Another alternative is a broadcast model, analogous to television or radio, whereby content is streaming and the advertisements are embedded within the stream.
  • the main problem with this model is that the users lack any proprietary stake in the streaming content, thus limiting their control over the experience.
  • a major underlying problem relates to the Internet advertising industry and its inability to effectively target consumers and reach target markets through pop-up and banner ads.
  • Banner ads are easily ignored by site users, who often view such ads as an irritation or distraction.
  • Pop-up ads are overly obtrusive and are also often immediately closed and ignored by users.
  • U.S. Patent No. 6,216,112 Bl to Fuller et al discloses a method for software distribution and compensation with replenishable advertisements.
  • U.S. Patent No. 6,248,946 to Dwek discloses a multimedia content delivery system and method.
  • U.S. Patent No. 6,119,098 to Guyot et al discloses a system and method for targeting and distributing advertisements over a distributed network.
  • these software distribution systems fail to bundle free downloadable media files with expiring advertisements, providing a benefit to both the user and company being advertised.
  • the invention realizes significant advancements in addressing the aforementioned problems by bundling automatically expiring advertising content with a specific piece or specific pieces of media content.
  • the present invention relates to the distribution of a bundled content file of digital media for use with a media player.
  • the content file has header information which contains rules by which the media content file can be played on the media player, as well as content identifiers and usage information.
  • the content file also contains primary media content and primary advertisement content. The primary advertising content must be played in order to play the primary media content.
  • the digital media content is distributed over a network or the Internet.
  • First the media content, advertising content and header information is bundled into a single media file.
  • a central server regulates and enables the download of bundled files via media player/enforcement software. Users download the bundled file to a client device.
  • the central server maintains and updates a content library, tracks the number of downloads and users, and other usage information.
  • the primary advertising content expires after downloading, once the rules in the header information have been complied with by the user.
  • the benefit to the consumer is that the consumer may download media content for free.
  • the consumer, in return, will be exposed to a corresponding advertisement that will expire according to preset protocols.
  • the consumer will then permanently enjoy almost complete control over that piece of media content.
  • This invention is therefore aligned with Internet users' cultural expectations and demand for free downloads.

  • the core of this invention involves bundling media content files with expiring advertisements and setting rules within the file and/or media player to govern a variety of functions.
  • Header Information 1 Primary Media Content 2
  • Primary Advertisement Content 3 Auxiliary Media Content 4
  • Auxiliary Advertisement Content 5 Auxiliary Advertisement Content 5.
  • Header information 1 contains all the data that define the identifiers for the content, the rules by which media 2, advertisement 3, and auxiliary content 4,5 may be viewed or listened to or interacted with, and possibly the usage information (which may also be stored in the media player) . These rules are then interpreted by the media player (be it software or hardware) .
  • the identifiers/descriptors for this content could include any or all such information as a unique ID number, content type (audio or audio/visual) , content sub-type (e.g. music album or music single), title, author, copyright owners, date of publication, rating, length of content, compression format, number of advertisements, ad playback type, number of impressions/time frame required for advertisements, expiration date for advertisements 3,5, description of auxiliary media content 4, description of auxiliary advertisement content 5 etc.
  • This list of identifiers changes depending on the content type and sub-type.
  • An example of content type could be linear or non-linear and the sub-type is a further definition of the primary content type.
  • the content sub-type could differentiate between full-length feature movie and a television show.
  • the rules definition information defines the conditions under which the advertisement content expires, updates and/or resurrects itself and defines other conditions such as security/anti-piracy functions and "pay to disable ad" functions. These functions can be defined across several parameters.
  • the usage information tracks exactly how the file is being used: how many times advertisement 3,5 has been experienced, how many times media content 2,4 has been experienced, the degree to which primary media content 2, auxiliary media content 4, ad content 3 and/or auxiliary ad content 5 has been experienced.
  • Primary media content 2 is the primary portion of the file, and contains the actual media content that the consumer wishes to experience. This content could be audio only, audio/visual and/or interactive. Primary media content 2 could be in any compression format, including compression formats that have yet to be conceived. (For audio, compression format could include formats superior to CD quality sound, such as DVD-audio format . )
  • Primary advertisement content 3 may be in either audio or audio/visual or interactive format. Primary advertisement content 3 could be experienced prior to experiencing primary media content 2, after experiencing primary media content 2, or intermittently throughout the playback of primary media content 2. Primary advertisement content 3 could contain one advertisement promoting one product or service, several ads promoting different products and services, or several ads promoting the same product/service. Auxiliary media content 4 is auxiliary to primary media content 2 and is optional. This content is analogous to content currently offered on "Enhanced" Audio CDs or "Bonus Features" on DVD titles.
  • Auxiliary media content 4 may also include types of auxiliary interactive and non-interactive content yet to be conceived or yet to be widely used; examples include album artwork, lyrics, liner notes, sound/music visualizers, interactive content (such as "interactive album covers”) or other features that would help enhance the digital experience.
  • Auxiliary Advertisement Content 5 there could be additional Auxiliary Advertisement Content 5 bundled, which would be optional overall, but not optional if the user wishes to experience the given piece of Auxiliary Media Content 4.
  • An example would be an audio/visual experience (a flash animation for example) with an official sponsor.
  • Auxiliary advertisement content 5 is auxiliary to the primary advertisement content 3 and is optional with the exception to Auxiliary Advertisement Content being optional described above. This could include detailed product/service information (or simply a URL to such info) , interactive content such as games, or additional audio or audio visual content that further promotes the product or service to the consumer. This auxiliary advertisement content 3 may also correspond to multiple products/services being promoted.
  • Rules for playback are set out in header information 1 of a given file, and those rules are enforced by the media player and/or other software components which interpret the rules described in header information 1.
  • Tracking information for playback is stored by the media player and may also be stored in header information 1 of media file 10.
  • the rules in header information 1 are stored via a series of descriptors. The number of descriptors would be of variable length, depending on the exact configuration. Examples of such descriptors range from a unique ID number to content type. Examples of content types could include: audio-only, audio-visual, interactive, software, etc. Appropriate security and encryption technology would also be used to ensure the rules are not broken.
  • Primary media content 2 of the file could be purely interactive content such as a game or software program as opposed to linear media content such as an audio track or film. This would be an exception to general relationship of Media Content file 10 and the Media Player. In this case, the file itself would act as its own "media player", thus enforcing the rules of use. However, the user would still be required to experience advertisement content according to such pre-set rules.
  • Primary and auxiliary advertising content 3,5 are bundled with primary and auxiliary media content 2,4 prior to users downloading.
  • one audio ad could be matched with a particular audio track.
  • one piece of advertising content could be associated with a collection of multiple pieces of media content.
  • one ad could apply to an entire album or even a collection of songs/movies/etc. that are from completely different sources (e.g. a user could download five songs by five different artists and only have one piece of advertising content associated with them, thus forcing the user to experience that ad content if any or all five songs are chosen) .

  • FIG. 4 shows a flow chart of rules enforcement involving the playing of bundled media file 10.
  • a user first makes a request to experience media content.
  • Step 42 determines whether this is first time that the user has requested playback of given media content. If this is the first time it is analyzed, step 43 determines whether the media content was acquired by client-server, peer-to-peer, or peer-to-peer/client-server hybrid transmission. If the content was acquired via client-server or hybrid transmission, step 44 determines whether primary advertising content 3 expired according to the rules dictated in header information 1. If the advertising content has not expired, step 45 determines whether the advertising content is still valid. If the content is still valid primary advertising content 3 is experienced in step 46. The play history for primary advertising content is then stored in step 47 on client device and/or header information by media player. Primary media content 2 is then experienced in step 48.
  • step 49 determines whether the media content was acquired via peer-to-peer transmission advertising content is resurrected in step 49 and step 45 determines whether the advertising content is still valid. If the advertising content is no longer valid the user is forced to download updated advertising content in step 50.
  • the content files and media player/enforcer could reside in hardware or software form on other devices; these include but are not limited to PDAs, stand alone hardware player (i.e. non-portable hardware device) , standalone portable players, Kiosks, or Set top boxes.

  • Users would access files through a client devic'e 51.
  • This device could be a software program, either browser based (including simply using http and/or ftp transfer protocols) or OS based, or it could be a hardware device, which could be a stationary or portable device.
  • communication could be wireless or through a land line, cable modem, DSL, Tl, etc.
  • the consumer using client device 51 would download a piece or collection of media content 10 bundled with expiring advertisements 3,5 to their client device from a central server 52.
  • Server 52 would maintain and update the content library, including advertisements 3,5 associated with pieces of content and the rules associated with expiration, resurrection, updating and other functions of the various content components.
  • Server 52 would also track number of downloads, users associated with those downloads, etc. Users of the service may have to register and/or provide some personal information.
  • the content repository should be deep and current and may include chat/community and e-commerce (i.e. merchandise e-stores) functions.
  • files are transferred from client-device A53 to client-device B51.
  • the media player/enforcement software would be able to deduce from header information 1 and usage information that the receiver of the file had not experienced any advertising content 3,5, even if the sender of the file had already experienced all required advertising content 3,5.
  • the media player would "resurrect" advertising content 3,5, if still valid due to time restrictions, and require to the new receiver of the file to experience advertising content 3,5.
  • advertising content 3,5 itself could be replaced or updated. For example, if the advertisers place a strict time limit on the validity of their advertisement, and that time limit elapses, the entire file would be considered invalid and the media player would refuse to play the file.
  • the user would be directed to central server 52 version of same media content 10 and could automatically download that file from central server 52 with the updated ad.
  • a third type of transfer shown in FIG. 5c is a hybrid between client-server and P2P.
  • This transfer involves the P2P sharing (client device to client device) of primary and auxiliary media content 2,4 coupled with updated primary and auxiliary advertising content 3,5 that would concurrently come in from central server 52 (client-server) and be bundled with primary and auxiliary media content 2,4 being transferred P2P.
  • the result would be a new file on the receiving user's end with the shared media content and the updated advertising content.
  • the sharing media files that are not in a format that allow for bundling of expiring advertisements (e.g. MP3, WAV, etc.) as shown in FIGS. 6a and 6b.
  • the content contained in the non-bundled file 2 would be combined with new header information 1 and advertising content 3,5 in another file with a format that allows for bundling of expiring advertisements (and auxiliary content) ; this newly created bundled file would then be delivered to receiving client device 51.
  • More specific information about the initial non-bundled file 2 which would aid in determining the type of advertisement and auxiliary media content it would be bundled with it, could be determined through a variety of methods, including looking up information based on file name in the media server or the actual "fingerprint" of the data contained in the file (e.g. shape of sound wave, images contained in frames, etc.).
  • client-server as shown in FIG. 7b
  • peer-to-peer and client-server/peer-to- peer hybrid as shown in FIG. 8 would all be applicable but would require a persistent connection to the media server to stream advertisements; the data copying in this case, to a device not connect to the media server, would only be possible if advertising content 3,5 had expired.
  • advertising content 3,5 is streamed
  • the concept of ad resurrection is no longer applicable.

  • CD/DVD/DVD-audio discs could be copy-protected or incorporate other security measures. Another alternative is that users could only burn a finite number of CD/DVD/DVD-audio discs in a given timeframe. The aforementioned conditions may be employed on a case-by-case basis or by consistent operating standards.

If primary advertising content 3 has expired, a user may write content to a CD/DVD/DVD-audio disc in step 63. If primary advertising content has not expired the user is barred from burning a CD/DVD/DVD-audio discs until advertising content 3 has been experienced according to the rules dictated in header information 1 in step 64.
  • Step 65 determines whether a user wishes to write data disc with advertising content 3 still bundled. If so the user may write data to a disc with advertising content still bundled in step 66. In order to experience the content a user would need a media player to interpret the data.
  • Advertising content expires according to one or a combination of any or all, but not limited to, the following rules: 1. for a given number of impressions (e.g. expiration after five ad impressions)
  • the primary and auxiliary advertising content then expires and lays dormant.
  • that particular user is no longer required to experience the advertising content and thus may enjoy the primary media content as the de facto "owner" of that piece of content.
  • the user may retain the option to access the dormant primary and auxiliary advertising content up until such content's prescribed validity date, after which it may be deleted by the media player/enforcer .
  • Ad resurrection automatically occurs when a media player/enforcer recognizes that certain rules embedded in the header information of the file have not been complied with.
  • the recipient client device's media player/enforcer would match its usage records with the rules embedded in the file's header information and determine that said playback/usage rules have yet to be complied with.
  • the media player may or may not access the central server to update primary and auxiliary advertising content and re-bundle it with media content at any time. (Though it may be preferable for this not to happen during playback itself due the adverse user experience that may be caused due to an interruption of a smooth playback experience) .
  • the file may be considered invalid, and new advertising content would be required to be re-bundled in order to allow the user to experience the media content. Until that re-bundling takes place, the media player would disallow playback of that media content.
  • Anti-piracy safeguards include but are not limited to the following: secure and encrypted file transfer and enforcement of rules for playback; CD/DVD/DVD-audio disc burning in a copy-protected format; data configuration (i.e., not continuous data).
  • Anti-ad bypass measures include but are not limited to the following: minimum volume setting during ad playback; prohibition on users to mute or move volume below that minimum; prohibition on fast-forwarding or skipping through advertising content; detection of measures employed to avoid experience content; (i.e., disabled soundcard, sound or video system disconnected, etc.); prohibition on "looping" of media content whereby users would simply play media content constantly in a row so that advertisement content expires immediately.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un système permettant de délivrer un contenu de média 'gratuit' par un réseau ou l'Internet, des fichiers de contenu de média (2) étant liés à des publicités (3) et (5) qui expirent automatiquement et peuvent automatiquement réapparaître et/ou s'auto-actualiser. La nature de l'expiration/la réapparition/l'actualisation de ces publicités est basée sur un nombre prédéfini d'impressions, une limite de temps préréglée et/ou d'autres protocoles d'usage contenus dans l'information d'en-tête (1) des fichiers qui sont interprétés et exécutés par un diffuseur de médias et/ou un autre composant logiciel/matériel. Le modèle de distribution de ce système supporte les modèles serveurs-clients, les modèles de systèmes homologues et autres modèles réseautés tels que des kiosques numériques. Ce système supporte un contenu de média qui est linéaire (par exemple purement audio ou audio/visuel) et/ou non linéaire (par exemple des jeux interactifs, logiciel etc.). Cette méthodologie s'applique à tout format de compression d'un tel contenu. Ce système peut également contenir des mesures de sécurité appropriées permettant d'empêcher les utilisateurs d'abuser du système.
