Abstract
A process is introduced that determines contour requirements from many factors. Based on the contour requirements, the process either generates at least one content-derived signature contour from either many content identifiers or at least one content-derived signature contour, or generates at least one optimized content-derived signature contour from contour-related data and either at least one content-derived signature contour or a derivation from at least one content-derived signature contour.
