Abstract
A system and method for distributing content over a distribution channel of a network. The method may include receiving the content to be distributed over the distribution channel of the network. At least one rule may be applied to the content, where the rule(s) may be based on the distribution channel for the content to be distributed. The content having the rule(s) applied thereto may be communicated to have at least one data element further applied thereto via a distinct process from the applying of the rule(s). The content may thereafter be prepared for distribution over the distribution channel.
Claims34
A system for distributing content over a network, said system comprising:
- a content object including the content to be distributed over the network;
- at least one rule object operable to apply at least one rule to said content object for distribution over the network;
- and
- at least one container object operable to receive and prepare said content object having the at least one rule applied thereto for distribution over the network.
A method for distributing content over a distribution channel of a network, said method comprising:
- receiving the content to be distributed over the distribution channel of the network;
- applying at least one rule to the content, the at least one rule being based on the distribution channel for the content to be distributed;
- and
- communicating the content having the at least one rule applied thereto to have at least one data element further applied thereto via a distinct process from said applying of the at least one rule, the content having the at least one rule and data element being applied thereto being prepared for distribution over the distribution channel.
A system for distributing content over a distribution channel of a network, said method comprising:
- means for receiving the content to be distributed over the distribution channel of the network;
- means for applying at least one rule to the content, the at least one rule being based on the distribution channel for the content to be distributed;
- and
- means for communicating the content having the at least one rule applied thereto to have at least one data element further applied thereto via a distinct process from said applying of the at least one rule, the content having the at least one rule and data element being applied thereto being prepared for distribution over the distribution channel.
A computer-readable medium having stored thereon sequences of instructions, the sequences of instructions including instructions, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:
- receive the content to be distributed over the distribution channel of the network;
- apply at least one rule to the content, the at least one rule being based on the distribution channel for the content to be distributed;
- and
- communicate the content having the at least one rule applied thereto to have at least one data element further applied thereto via a distinct process from said applying of the at least one rule, the content having the at least one rule and data element being applied thereto being prepared for distribution over the distribution channel.
A method for distributing content to a terminal operating on a channel, said method comprising:
- receiving the content to be distributed to the terminal over the channel;
- determining a first network location available to process the content for distribution on the channel, the processing including applying at least one rule to be applied to the content based on the terminal and channel for the content to be distributed;
- and
- transmitting the content to the first network location to process the content for distribution over the channel to the terminal.
A system for distributing content to a terminal operating on a channel, said system comprising:
- means for receiving the content to be distributed to the terminal over the channel;
- means for determining a first network location available to process the content for distribution on the channel, the processing including applying at least one rule to be applied to the content based on the terminal and channel for the content to be distributed;
- and
- 19. means for transmitting the content to the first network location to process the content for distribution over the channel to the terminal.
A system for distributing content to a terminal operating on a channel, said system comprising:
- a processor operable to determine a first network location available to process the content for distribution on the channel, the processing including applying at least one rule to be applied to the content based on the terminal and channel for the content to be distributed.
