Rules-based content management
First Claim
1. A server, comprising:
- a memory storing computer instructions; and
a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor, responsive to executing the computer instructions, performs operations comprising;
storing, in a repository, video on demand content and metadata associated with the video on demand content provided by a plurality of sources, wherein the metadata comprises a data format type, a category, an index scene, and an identifier of the video on demand content, wherein the repository is organized in hierarchies according to the category included within the metadata;
assigning different security to the video on demand content in the repository according to a location in the hierarchies;
retrieving business rules embedded within the metadata, wherein the business rules control processing and delivery of the video on demand content through a system and include a release date for the video on demand content, wherein the control of the processing and delivery of the video on demand content comprises fine grain security, coarse gain security, customized reporting, and priority queuing for the video on demand content;
selectively packaging the video on demand content in response to the business rules and the metadata to generate packaged video on demand content;
distributing the packaged video on demand content to devices selected via multicasting according to the business rules embedded within the metadata;
resolving a priority for processing the packaged video on demand content based on a quality of service parameter, the metadata, the business rules, and a license embedded within the metadata, wherein the license describes the priority;
determining whether the video on demand content includes unauthorized video on demand content that was inadvertently released before a scheduled release date of the video on demand content; and
responsive to determining that the video on demand content includes unauthorized video on demand content that was inadvertently released before the scheduled release date, deleting the unauthorized video on demand content within the repository and being requested by subscribers.

Abstract
Techniques for rules-based content management are provided. Video on demand content is collected from a variety of sources. Business rules embedded within metadata can be retrieved where the business rules control processing and delivery of the video on demand content. The video on demand content may be selectively packaged in response to the business rules and the metadata to generate packaged video on demand content. A server can distribute the packaged video on demand content to devices. A priority for processing the packaged video on demand content can be based on a quality of service parameter and based on the metadata, the business rules, and a license embedded within the metadata where the license describes the priority. Other embodiments are disclosed.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
storing, in a repository, video on demand content and metadata associated with the video on demand content, wherein the metadata comprises information describing the video on demand content, wherein the repository is organized in hierarchies according to the metadata; assigning different security to the video on demand content in the repository according to a location in the hierarchies, wherein the different security includes fine grain security, coarse gain security, and customized reporting; retrieving business rules and a license that are embedded within the metadata, wherein the business rules control processing and delivery of the video on demand content through a system, wherein the business rules include a release date for the video on demand content; deleting portions of the video on demand content according to the metadata and the business rules when the video on demand content has been found to be released before the release date; distributing the video on demand content to devices selected via multicasting according to the business rules embedded within the metadata; prioritizing deliveries, updates, and deletions of the video on demand content based on a quality of service parameter and based on the metadata, the license and the business rules; determining whether the video on demand content includes unauthorized video on demand content that was inadvertently released before a scheduled release date of the video on demand content; and responsive to determining that the video on demand content includes unauthorized video on demand content that was inadvertently released before the scheduled release date, deleting the unauthorized video on demand content within the repository and being requested by subscribers. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
