Renger - Web page: https://patentgrep.com/patent/US10375136B2 ## CPC - H04L 65/60: Network streaming of media packets - G06F 16/4393: {Multimedia presentations, e.g. slide shows, multimedia albums} - H04L 67/10: in which an application is distributed across nodes in the network (software deployment G06F8/60; multiprogramming arrangements G06F9/46) - H04L: TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION (arrangements common to telegraphic and telephonic communication H04M) - G06F: ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING (computer systems based on specific computational models G06N) ## Abstract A layered syndicated feed or content is provided having layers defined according to a media type (e.g., text, graphic, audio, or video) wherein each layer has a plurality of levels such that each level provides either inclusive or exclusive content of the layer's media type in varying degrees of detail or depth. Furthermore, a system is provided for requesting and storing user and mobile device profiles indicative of the syndicated content layers and levels that the user is interested in receiving and that the user's mobile device is capable of receiving. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: generating a first layer of syndicated content, the first layer of syndicated content having a first degree of media content detail determined by a static capability, wherein the first degree of media content detail comprises a first media type; and generating a second layer of syndicated content, the second layer of syndicated content having a second degree of media content detail determined by the static capability, wherein the second degree of media content detail comprises a second media type different from the first media type, wherein second tags are associated with the second layer of syndicated content and wherein first tags associated with the first layer of syndicated content indicate one of a layer dependence on content found in the second layer of syndicated content and a layer independence from content found in the second layer of syndicated content. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the static capability is associated with a device of a user. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: identifying an identity of a user making a request for the syndicated content. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the syndicated content comprises one of a text media, a video media, an audio media, and an image media. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein the device of the user is a mobile device. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the first layer of syndicated content comprises a different type of media content than the second layer of syndicated content. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising transmitting the first layer of syndicated content and the second layer of syndicated content to a device. ### Claim 8 A system comprising: a processor; and a computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored which, when executed on the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising: generating a first layer of syndicated content, the first layer of syndicated content having a first degree of media content detail determined by a static capability, wherein the first degree of media content detail comprises a first media type; and generating a second layer of syndicated content, the second layer of syndicated content having a second degree of media content detail determined by the static capability, wherein the second degree of media content detail comprises a second media type different from the first media type, wherein second tags are associated with the second layer of syndicated content and wherein first tags associated with the first layer of syndicated content indicate one of a layer dependence on content found in the second layer of syndicated content and a layer independence from content found in the second layer of syndicated content. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the static capability is associated with a device of a user. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the computer-readable storage medium stores further instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform an operation further comprising: identifying an identity of a user making a request for the syndicated content. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the syndicated content comprises one of a text media, a video media, an audio media, and an image media. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the device of the user is a mobile device. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the first layer of syndicated content comprises a different type of media content than the second layer of syndicated content. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, the computer-readable storage medium having additional instructions stored which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform an operation further comprising: transmitting the first layer of syndicated content and the second layer of syndicated content to a device. ### Claim 15 A non-transitory computer-readable storage device having instructions stored which, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising: generating a first layer of syndicated content, the first layer of syndicated content having a first degree of media content detail determined by a static capability, wherein the first degree of media content detail comprises a first media type; and generating a second layer of syndicated content, the second layer of syndicated content having a second degree of media content detail determined by the static capability, wherein the second degree of media content detail comprises a second media type different from the first media type, wherein second tags are associated with the second layer of syndicated content and wherein first tags associated with the first layer of syndicated content indicate one of a layer dependence on content found in the second layer of syndicated content and a layer independence from content found in the second layer of syndicated content. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 15, wherein the static capability is associated with a device of a user. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 15, wherein the non-transitory computer-readable storage device stores further instructions which, when executed by the computing device, cause the computing device to perform an operation further comprising: identifying an identity of a user making a request for the syndicated content. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 15, wherein the syndicated content comprises one of a text media, a video media, an audio media, and an image media. ### Claim 19 (depends on 16) The non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 16, wherein the device of the user is a mobile device. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 15, wherein the first layer of syndicated content comprises a different type of media content than the second layer of syndicated content.
