System, method and computer program product for providing content to a terminal

An apparatus comprising a processor and a memory storing executable instructions that in response to execution by the processor cause the apparatus to at least perform the following:

• receiving and storing reformatted content and an address of another apparatus from a source, the other apparatus being configured to operate in a wireless network environment and the source being configured to operate in a fixed network environment, the content having been reformatted into a vectorized format, wherein the reformatted content is intended for receipt by the other apparatus;
• signaling to the other apparatus based upon the address of the other apparatus, the signaling including information required to access the reformatted content but not including the reformatted content;
• and
• facilitating downloading of the reformatted content to the other apparatus in response to receipt of a request from the other apparatus, the request being in response to the signal.

An apparatus configured to operate in a wireless network environment, the apparatus comprising a processor and a memory storing executable instructions that in response to execution by the processor cause the apparatus to at least perform the following:

• receiving a signal from a messaging gateway based upon an address of the apparatus, the signal including information required to access the reformatted content but not including the reformatted content, the signal being received in response to the messaging gateway receiving the reformatted content and the address of the apparatus from a source configured to operate in a fixed network environment, the content having been reformatted into a vectorized format;
• and
• sending a request to the messaging gateway in response to the messaging gateway signal;
• and thereafter,
• downloading the reformatted content from the messaging gateway.

A method comprising:

• receiving and storing reformatted content and an address of an apparatus at a messaging gateway from a source, the apparatus being configured to operate in a wireless network environment and the source being configured to operate in a fixed network environment, the content having been reformatted into a vectorized format, wherein the reformatted content is intended for receipt by the apparatus;
• signaling the apparatus from the messaging gateway, the signaling including information required to access the reformatted content but not including the reformatted content;
• and
• transferring the reformatted content from the messaging gateway to the apparatus, the reformatted content being transferred in response to the messaging gateway receiving a request from the apparatus, the request being in response to the messaging gateway signaling the apparatus.

A computer program product comprising at least one computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein that in response to execution by a processor cause an apparatus to at least perform the following:

• receiving and storing reformatted content and an address of another apparatus from a source, the other apparatus being configured to operate in a wireless network environment and the source being configured to operate in a fixed network environment, the content having been reformatted into a vectorized format, wherein the reformatted content is intended for receipt by the other apparatus;
• signaling the other apparatus, the signaling including information required to access the reformatted content but not including the reformatted content;
• and
• transferring the reformatted content from to the other apparatus, the reformatted content being transferred in response to the apparatus receiving a request from the other apparatus, the request being in response to the apparatus signaling the other apparatus.
