Abstract
System for delivering regional parameters. A method is provided for delivering regional parameters. The method includes receiving a parameter stream that includes one or more sets of regional parameters associated with one or more regions. The method also includes determining a first real-time region indicator, and selecting one or more selected sets of regional parameters from the parameter stream based on the first real-time region indicator.
Claims57
A method for delivering regional parameters, the method comprising:
- receiving a parameter stream that comprises one or more sets of regional parameters associated with one or more regions;
- determining a first real-time region indicator;
- selecting one or more selected sets of regional parameters from the parameter stream based on the first real-time region indicator;
- and
- rendering information based on the one or more selected sets of regional parameters, using a mobile device, to enable a device user to subscribe to at least one of content and a service that is currently available within a current operating region of the mobile device, as indicated by the rendered information,
- wherein the service comprises at least one sequence of presentations.
