DELIVERING A DATA STREAM WITH INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLAYBACK

摘要

An approach for delivering encoded content data to a portable device is described. The content data (124) is encoded to form encoded content data (112). The instruction data (114) is combined with the encoded content data to generate a data stream (104) that is able to be recognized by a target operating environment (120) as executable. The data stream is delivered to a portable device (108) capable of running the target operating environment. A program (116), included in the instruction data, is executed in the target operating environment on the portable device to initiate decoding of the encoded content data based decoding instructions (126) included in the instruction data. The decoded content data is presented on the portable device.
