Kiosk system for downloading media content

摘要

A method, system, and apparatus, including a program encoded on computer-readable medium, for downloading media content files to mobile devices includes downloading media files from local storage on a kiosk to a mobile device over a high-speed wireless communication link using an application on the mobile device. A message can be sent to the mobile device to provide notification of a proximity of the device to a kiosk when a location of the device satisfies predetermined criteria associated with a location of the kiosk, and a download can be initiated after authenticating the device. In addition, a battery charging service for charging the mobile device can be authorized through a charging port of a charging station in response to detecting the installed application on the mobile device. A file can be downloaded from a particular solid state drive in accordance with a file system detected for the device.
