Implementation of Image SuperDistribution System

Content Providers (e.g. Disney, Sony), who make the content, distribute their own content through Content Platformers (e.g. Netflix, Amazon) on the mobile for the security and platform dependency reasons. The one of reasons why Providers use Platformers is that it is required to not only build and deploy a native application of iOS and Android, but also make users download it to consume digital content on the mobile. However, it is not easy to all the Providers, so that they still have been using Platformers. As a result, users must use Platformers' applications and they take a revenue share, which affects adversely to Providers. In this paper, the implementation and evaluation of Image SuperDistribution System (ISDS) [1] is proposed, which uses a digital image as a content distribution media with Robust Index Code (RIC) [2, 3, 7]. In ISDS, Providers upload their content to our implemented content pool console. Subsequently, a RIC image and a url, linked with the uploaded or linked content, will be generated. RIC is a robust codemark targeting digital images so that it is possible to link content with a digital image and is indispensable in ISDS. Users can easily access to the content clicking the url or decoding the RIC image with the RIC SDK. Hence, saving content as a digital image into the device gallery makes a user manage all the content and open them easily. From the evaluation of a user experience, 96% of testers said to want to use the ISDS and 100% of them also said that saving content as an image is not weird. Therefore, the new system achieves improving user's convenience and independence from Platformers.
