GENERATION AND DELIVERY OF MULTIMEDIA CONTENT-ADAPTATION NOTIFICATIONS
First Claim
1. A system for conditioning data containers for delivery to receivers, the system comprising a container conditioner coupled to a node in a telecommunication network, the container conditioner having at least one processor and configured to receive said data containers from said node for conditioning, said container conditioner coupled to:
- a receiver database maintaining characteristics of a number of said receivers; and
an editing engine comprising;
a screening module for inspecting said data containers to detect and remove undesirable insertions and indicate respective container-content conditions;
an adaptation module for;
determining compatibility of content components of said data containers with characteristics, retrieved from said receiver database, of respective intended receivers of said data containers;
indicating compatibility conditions of each content component; and
modifying incompatible content components;
a module for generating notifications according to said container-content conditions and said compatibility conditions; and
a module for combining said notifications with respective data containers to produce conditioned data containers.

Abstract
A method for conditioning multimedia containers to be compatible with decoding facilities of receivers of diverse types is disclosed. Content of a multimedia container may include components of different encoding formats. Container conditioning also detects and, where feasible, removes undesirable insertions within each content component of a multimedia container. A content component of a container may be filtered, re-encoded, or deleted. Notifications indicating conditions of a container and any modifications performed are appended to the container. A notification may be presented in at least one form compatible with characteristics of a respective receiver. An editing engine implementing the method is associated with a network entity to which multimedia containers are directed. The editing engine accesses a receiver database storing information on several types of receivers and a repository of notification templates encoded in several forms.

7. A method of processing a data container comprising multiple components, the method comprising:
-
receiving said container at a container conditioner having at least one processor; parsing said container to determine; an identifier of a transmitter and identifiers of addressed receivers of said container; and properties of each component in said multiple components; screening said each component to; eliminate harmful insertions; and mark said each component accordingly; acquiring, from a receiver database coupled to said container conditioner, characteristics of a selected receiver of said addressed receivers; ascertaining compatibility of said properties with said selected receiver; where said properties are incompatible with said selected receiver, adapting said each component to suit said selected receiver; and producing a notification specific to said selected receiver based on said screening and said adapting of said each component of said multiple components. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. An apparatus for conditioning multimedia containers, comprising computer readable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, which when executed by a computing device cause the computing device to:
-
receive a container; parse said container into content components; determine encoding formats of said content components; examine each content component to detect presence of malicious insertions and perform corrections of said content components where malicious insertions are found; identify a first receiver of said container; acquire characterization of decoding facilities of said first receiver from a receiver database communicatively coupled to said editing engine; determine a first compatibility of said encoding formats with said decoding facilities; and synthesize a first notification according to a first content condition defined according to said corrections and said first compatibility. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
