DIGITAL CONTENT DELIVERY AND VIEWING SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A media distribution system (fig. 1) is provided whereby devices (12a-12j) on a network (14) are provided with native-mode, optimized content viewers adapted to receive and present digital content (16a-16d) provided elsewhere on the network. An agent (160) is downloaded to a device, where it gathers information regarding the device environment and uses that information to identify the appropriate application for that device. The appropriate application for a particular device is then downloaded to the device to enable the device to present the content to a user.
