发明名称 Apparatus and methods of accessing content
摘要 Apparatus and methods for accessing electronic content include a server system, a first communication device, and a second communication device. The server system is operable to receive a marker request initiated by the first communication device, wherein the marker request comprises marker information and data key information. The marker information represents a saved state of content on the first communication device, and the data key information comprises a content identifier corresponding to the content and a user identifier. The server system is then operable to initiate access to the content on the second communication device at the saved state of content on the first communication device based on the marker information and the data key information of the marker request.

主权项 1. A method of managing access to electronic content, comprising: receiving at a server system a marker request initiated by a first communication device via a wireless communication protocol, wherein the marker request comprises marker information and data key information, the marker information represents a saved state of content on the first communication device, the content being previously downloaded from a content server via the wireless communication protocol on the first communication device, and the data key information comprises: a content identifier corresponding to the content and a user identifier, and information for authorizing access to the content; saving the marker request at the server system; determining a match between a requested content identifier and a requestor identifier and the content identifier and the user identifier, respectively, wherein the requested content identifier and the requestor identifier correspond to a resume content request transmitted by a second communication device; initiating a transmission of the marker information from the server system to the content server or to the second communication device if the match is determined, wherein the marker information is operative to initiate an access to the content at the saved state of content downloaded on the second communication device from the content server via the wireless communication protocol; receiving at the server system first device capability information corresponding to the first communication device and second device capability information corresponding to the second communication device, the first and second device capability information relating to hardware or software components on the first and second devices, respectively, a version of each respective hardware or software component, and one or more component characteristics indicating a performance parameter of each respective hardware or software component including one or more of a screen size for a display, a size for each associated memory, an audio synthesizer capability for a speaker, or a speed of each associated processor; reformatting the content by the server system for presentation on the second communication device based at least on the second device capability information; and in response to the resume content request, transmitting a portion of the reformatted content by the server system for presentation on the second communication device starting at the saved state indicated in the marker information.
