Abstract

This document describes a method and system through which various forms of content may be ingested, managed, converted, repurposed, and delivered to content-accessing users. The method and system are comprised, in essence, of a software based platform, which may be itself primarily a unique closed environment and/or accessible primarily via a more open configuration (such as via a cloud based digital ecosystem). For example, the system may constitute an enterprise application solution that allows for centralized governance and controls over content in various formats and forms. As a turnkey platform—supporting media management, workflow execution, distribution and monetization—the method and system enable media sharing across multiple devices and operating systems inclusive of, for example, stand alone computers, hand-hand mobile devices, and more. The method and system also facilitate immediate integration with content publishing platforms in support of, for instance, live streaming (audio and video), on demand transmission, and print publishing.

Claims

1. A method of managing and delivering digitized content of various forms and formats comprising the steps of:

ingesting such content;

converting such content if and as desired by a user of such method;

repurposing such content if and as desired by a user of such method; and

delivering such content for access via devices of at least one content-accessing user of the method as designated by a user of such method.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the content is audiovisual.

3. The method of claim 1 performed within a software-based platform.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the steps of ingesting, converting, repurposing, and delivery are managed by the same user.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the steps facilitate the interoperability of a turnkey embodiment of the method, thus increasing efficiencies.

6. The method of claim 3 performed within a cloud-based ecosystem configuration.

7. The method of claim 1 performed via centralized governance, whereby a user controls an enterprise application solution.

8. The method of claim 4 wherein the content ingesting user and the content-accessing user are the same.

9. The method of claim 3 wherein the user managing at least the delivery step dictates at least one user that will have access to such content via the delivery step.

10. The method of claim 9 wherein the user managing at least the delivery step dictates the device through which such content is accessible.

11. The method of claim 1 wherein the ingest step is accomplished via use of a device selected by the ingesting user.

12. The method of claim 1 further comprising the steps of

analyzing data associated with such content,

collecting and managing information associated with at least one user, and

enabling the secured sharing of such content, such data, and such information as desired by at least one user.

13. The method of claim 1 wherein the steps are customizable as desired by a user for the user'"'"'s purposes.

14. The method of claim 1 wherein the steps support automated workflow of business processes through shared user efficiencies.

15. A comprehensive e-commerce-supported method of managing and delivering digitized content of various forms and formats comprising the steps of:

ingesting such content;

converting such content if and as desired by a user of such method;

repurposing such content if and as desired by a user of such method; and

delivering such content for access via devices of at least one content-accessing user of the method as designated by at least one user of such method, wherein such delivery step includes a paywall functionality controlled by at least one user.

16. A turnkey system for managing and delivering digitized content of various forms and formats comprising:

means of ingesting such content;

means of converting such content electronically connected to such ingesting means, whereby at least one user, as desired, may convert such content;

means of repurposing such content, whereby at least one user, as desired, may repurpose such content, with such repurposing means electronically connected to such ingestion means; and

means of delivering such content, whereby at least one user, as desired, may deliver such content, with such delivery means electronically connected to such ingestion means.

17. The system of claim 16 wherein the repurposing means is electronically connected to the converting means, which in turn is electronically connected to the ingestion means.

18. The system of claim 16 wherein the delivery means is electronically connected to the repurposing means, which in turn is electronically connected to the ingestion means.

19. The system of claim 17 wherein the delivery means is electronically connected to the repurposing means.

20. The system of claim 16 further comprising means for centralized governance of such system as a enterprise application solution.
