Method and system for distributing content using device-specific content delivery networks
First Claim
1. A communication system for providing content from a content processing system on a server side of the communication system to a device side of the communication system, the communication system comprising:
- on the server side of the communication system,a content repository storing first content in a first format associated with a first type of device and second content in a second format associated with a second type of device,a content management system generating a first content list corresponding to the first content and a second content list, different from the first content list, corresponding to the second content, wherein the content management system generates the first content list and the second content list on the server side of the communication system prior to the first content list and the second content list being provided from the server side of the communication system to the device side of the communication system,a first content delivery network providing the first content list, as generated by the content management system on the server side of the communication system, from the server side of the communication system to a first device on the device side of the communication system, wherein the first device corresponds to the first type of device; and
a second content delivery network providing the second content list, different from the first content list and as generated by the content management system on the server side of the communication system, from the server side of the communication system to a second device on the device side of the communication system, wherein the second device corresponds to the second type of device,wherein the first content list and the second content list include different content based on which content is available to the first type of device and the second type of device, respectively.

Abstract
A system 100 includes a first content delivery network 280(1) for a first type of user device, a second content delivery network 280(n) for a second type of user device and a content repository 274 communicating with the first content delivery network 280(1) and the second content delivery network 280(n). The first content is in a first format associated with the first content delivery network 280(1) and a second content associated with the second content delivery network 280(n). A content management system 221 generates a first content list for the first content delivery network 280 and generates a second content list for the second content delivery network 280(n). A content distribution system 260 communicates with the content management system and the first content delivery network and the second content delivery network. The content distribution system 260 transfers content to the first and second content delivery network from the content repository. The first content delivery network 280(1) publishes the content according to a publication start time. The first content delivery network 280(1) communicates the first content list to a first user device. The second content delivery network 280(n) communicates the second content list to a second user device.

10. A method of operating a communication system for providing content from a content processing system on a server side of the communication system to a device side of the communication system, the method comprising:
-
on the server side of the communication system, storing first content in a first format associated with a first type of device and second content in a second format associated with a second type of device, generating a first content list corresponding to the first content and a second content list, different from the first content list, corresponding to the second content, wherein the first content list and the second content list different from the first content list are generated on the server side of the communication system prior to the first content list and the second content list being provided from the server side of the communication system to the device side of the communication system; using a first content delivery network, providing the first content list, as generated on the server side of the communication system, from the server side of the communication system to a first device on the device side of the communication system, wherein the first device corresponds to the first type of device; and using a second content delivery network, providing the second content list, different from the first content list and as generated on the server side of the communication system, from the server side of the communication system to a second device on the device side of the communication system, wherein the second device corresponds to the second type of device, wherein the first content list and the second content list include different content based on which content is available to the first type of device and the second type of device, respectively. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
