US 2011/0214170 A1 · METHOD AND SYSTEM OF SERVING SUBSCRIBED CONTENTS FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES VIA A GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

Abstract

A computer implemented method and system for, via a global communications network, serving subscribed contents from various subscribed content sources to end users without the need of end users subscribing and signing in at each individual subscribed content source. An embodiment system of present invention may use pre-stored access credentials specific to the embodiment system for fetching the requested subscribed contents from various subscribed content sources. The embodiment system may remove the aforementioned access credentials when forwarding the fetched subscribed contents to corresponding requesting end users. The end users may be served according to their viewing credits and other permissions. The viewing credits of end users may be adjusted according to the served subscribed contents. Before being forwarded to end users, the fetched subscribed contents may be amended according to the present invention to facilitate end users for requesting further subscribed contents to be served by the embodiment system.
