Abstract

A method for processing interactive screens for a wireless device is provided. The method includes receiving, from the wireless device, a download request for content. The method further includes determining whether the wireless device has an interactive screen associated with the content. If it is determined that the wireless device has the interactive screen associated with the content, the method further includes transmitting the content to the wireless device without transmitting the interactive screen.

Claims (46)

1. A method for processing interactive screens for a wireless device, comprising:

(a) receiving, from the wireless device, a download request for content;

(b) determining whether the wireless device has an interactive screen associated with the content;

(c) if it is determined that the wireless device has the interactive screen associated with the content, transmitting the content to the wireless device without transmitting the interactive screen; and

(d) if it is determined that the wireless device does not have the interactive screen associated with the content, transmitting the interactive screen to the wireless device before transmitting the content associated with the download request.

2. The method of claim l, further comprising: after step (d),

receiving a signal indicating a satisfactory action of the wireless device upon the interactive screen; and

after said receiving, transmitting the content requested by the wireless device.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein said satisfactory action comprises acceptance of a license agreement.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein said satisfactory action comprises supplying information regarding an age of a user of the wireless device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said content comprises data.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said content comprises an application.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein said content and said interactive screen are stored on a same server.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein said content and said interactive screen are stored on different servers.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein said content and said interactive screen are transmitted by a same server.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein said content and said interactive screen are transmitted by different servers.

11. A system for supporting a wireless device, comprising:

means for receiving, from the wireless device on a wireless network, a download request for content;

means for determining whether the wireless device has an interactive screen associated with the content; and

means for transmitting the interactive screen and the content to the wireless device,

wherein if said means for determining determines that the wireless device has the interactive screen, said means for transmitting transmits the content to the wireless device without transmitting the interactive screen, and

wherein if said means for determining determines that the wireless device does not have the interactive screen, said means for transmitting transmits the interactive screen to the wireless device before transmitting the content.

12. The system of claim 11 , further comprising:

means for receiving a signal indicating a satisfactory action of the wireless device upon the interactive screen.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein said satisfactory action comprises acceptance of a license agreement.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein said satisfactory action comprises supplying information regarding an age of a user of the wireless device.

15. A computer-readable product, comprising:

a computer-readable medium, comprising:

(a) at least one instruction for receiving, from a wireless device, a download request for content;

(b) at least one instruction for determining whether the wireless device has an interactive screen associated with the content;

(c) if it is determined that the wireless device has the interactive screen associated with the content, at least one instruction for transmitting the content to the wireless device without transmitting the interactive screen; and

(d) if it is determined that the wireless device does not have the interactive screen associated with the content, at least one instruction for transmitting the interactive screen to the wireless device before transmitting the content associated with the download request.

16. The computer-readable product of claim 15 , further comprising: after step (d),

at least one instruction for receiving a signal indicating a satisfactory action of the wireless device upon the interactive screen; and

at least one instruction for transmitting the content requested by the wireless device, after said receiving.

17. The computer-readable product of claim 16 , wherein said satisfactory action comprises acceptance of a license agreement.

18. The computer-readable product of claim 16 , wherein said satisfactory action comprises supplying information regarding an age of a user of the wireless device.

19. A computer device that controls a presentation of interactive screens for a wireless device desiring to download content across a wireless network, comprising:

logic that is configured to, upon receipt of a download request for content from the wireless device, determine whether the wireless device has an interactive screen associated with the content;

the logic further configured to, if it is determined that the wireless device has the interactive screen associated with the content, transmit the requested content to the wireless device without transmitting the interactive screen; and

the logic further configured to, if it is determined that the wireless device does not have the interactive screen associated with the content, transmit the interactive screen to the wireless device before transmitting the content associated with the download request.

20. The computer device of claim 19 , further comprising logic configured to receive a signal indicating a satisfactory action of the wireless device upon the interactive screen; and the logic further configured to, after said receiving, transmit the content requested by the wireless device.

21. The computer device of claim 20 , wherein said logic configured to receive the signal indicating the satisfactory action is configured to receive a signal indicating acceptance of a license agreement.

22. The computer device of claim 20 , wherein said logic configured to receive the signal indicating the satisfactory action is configured to receive a signal indicating a supplying of information regarding an age of a user of the wireless device.

23. The computer device of claim 19 , wherein the computer device further storing the content and the interactive screen requested by the wireless device.

24. The computer device of claim 19 , wherein the computer device storing the content and further having logic configured to direct the transmitting of the interactive screen that is stored on another computer device to the wireless device requesting content.
