Delivering content to mobile clients

摘要

A delivery system, media, and method for communicating content to devices are provided. The delivery system includes a services aggregator and content aggregator for processing requests from the devices. The services aggregator processes the request to identify credentials for the devices that generate the request and to identify providers of content specified in the request. The content aggregator receives the content from the identified providers and formats the content based on limits imposed by the device. Because the devices are configured to allow the services aggregator and content aggregator to perform computational-intensive tasks associated with requesting and transmitting the content, the complexity and cost of the devices are minimized.

1. One or more non-transitory tangible computer-storage media having computer-useable instructions embodied thereon for performing a method for requesting content over a communication network, the method comprising:
rendering content in response to a previous request; associating the content rendered in response to said previous request with a first key mapping contained with an input component; transmitting a subsequent request for additional content; receiving the additional content associated with the subsequent request; generating additional key mappings for the additional content in the input component; rendering the additional content; and switching between a combination of text, images, video, or audio in the rendered content and the additional content responsive to manipulation of said first key mapping and said additional key mappings of the input component to interact with the rendered content and the transmitted additional content in response to said previous request and the subsequent request.
