Framework for content representation and delivery
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for delivery of target files, the method comprising:
- encoding in an index one or more recipes for each of the target files using a framework that represents content delivery schemes comprising a conventional archive that contains a single copy of each target file, a delta archive that contains a delta file that encodes how each target file differs from its earlier version, an intra-package delta that contains a copy of a first target file and a delta file that describes how a second target file differs from the first target file, and, an extra-package delta that contains a delta file that is applied to an external basis file, the content delivery schemes involving static containers, dynamic containers, self-contained containers, containers that are not self-contained, containers with internal delta dependency and containers with no internal delta dependency, each recipe provides a mechanism for generation of an associated target file.

Abstract
In a content delivery scheme for target files, one or more recipes for each of the target files are encoded in an index. The index uses a framework that is able to represent content delivery schemes involving static containers, dynamic containers, self-contained containers, containers that are not self-contained, containers with internal delta dependency and containers with no internal delta dependency.

11. A computer storage medium having stored thereon a data structure, comprising:
-
an index describing one or more recipes for the production of target files, each recipe provides a mechanism for generation of an associated target file, wherein the index uses a framework that represents content delivery schemes comprising a conventional archive that contains a single copy of each target file, a delta archive that contains a delta file that encodes how each target file differs from its earlier version, an intra-package delta that contains a copy of a first target file and a delta file that describes how a second target file differs from the first target file, and, an extra-package delta that contains a delta file that is applied to an external basis file, the content delivery schemes involving static containers, dynamic containers, self contained containers, containers that are not self-contained, containers with internal delta dependency and containers with no internal delta dependency. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
