A network-based media distribution platform is designed to facilitate the creation, publishing, and distribution of live voice and media content. The platform includes a server connected to the network, which houses a data repository and executes machine-readable instructions. These instructions enable the server to receive media content from creators, buffer it for distribution, authenticate it using token data, register it on a blockchain, and distribute it to consumer-accessible channels.
The evolution of media publishing has been significantly influenced by advancements in computer-aided telephony and the Internet. Live content streaming has become increasingly popular, allowing creators to broadcast content in near real-time. However, issues such as unauthorized content modification and distribution persist. Current technologies often fail to effectively prevent piracy and unauthorized use of media content. Additionally, compatibility issues between different platforms can lead to quality discrepancies in media presentation.
The platform supports various types of media content, including live audio streams, podcasts, videos with audio, and pre-recorded content. It can facilitate voice language translation and format content for specific consumer platforms. The authentication process involves using non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and metadata to verify ownership and track transactions. The server also accesses consumer transaction records related to distributed media content, which are stored on the blockchain for transparency and security.
The invention leverages smart home tech devices for natural language interaction with creators and consumers. Media playback devices can include computing appliances with displays or speakers connected wirelessly. NFT data is embedded into media files at intervals during playback, ensuring secure and verifiable distribution. This integration allows for live broadcasting to various channels accessible to consumers.
An architectural overview describes a network consisting of nodes and domains that utilize the Internet for interaction and data processing. A network router represents access points for data routing. Media creators can use diverse devices to capture and upload content for publishing. The system supports various types of creators, including entertainers, podcasters, video artists, musicians, and authors. The platform provides unique NFTs associated with media content, enabling monetization through blockchain technology.
