`
`ABSTRACT
`
`A network server system includes a download managerthat
`manages the publication, purchase and delivery of digital
`products from multiple suppliers to wireless services sub-
`scribers in multiple domains. Product suppliers can publish
`and manage their products on the server system via a
`computer network and make their products available to the
`subscribers for purchase or licensing. The subscribers in
`each domain can access the server remotely to purchase
`rights to download and use the products on associated
`wireless communication devices. Multiple different imple-
`mentations of any product can be maintained, where each
`implementation corresponds to a different set of device
`capabilities. Each product can also be associated with mul-
`tiple different provisioning models, each correspondingto a
`different set of device capabilities.

`
`AS A RESULT OF REEXAMINATION, IT HAS BEEN
`DETERMINED THAT:
`
`The patentability of claims 2, 4 and 9 is confirmed.
`Claims 1 and 8 are determined to be patentable as
`amended.
`
`Claims 3, 5-7 and 10-14 were not reexamined.
`
`1. A methodof providing access to digital content for use
`on wireless communication devices, the method comprising:
`receiving and storing in a server system a plurality of
`items of digital content to be made available for use in
`wireless communication devices used by a plurality of
`wireless services subscribers, including receiving and
`storing a plurality of different implementations of at
`least one of the items of digital content, where each
`implementation of any given item of digital content
`corresponds to a different set of device capabilities;
`[and]
`[maintaining] operating the server system to maintain a
`product catalog containing a description of the items of
`digital content, wherein the product catalog [including]
`includes, in association with each item of digital con-
`tent, a reference to each implementationof said item of
`digital content[.];
`receiving a request from one of the wireless communica-
`tion devices;
`in response to the request, selecting a portion of the
`product catalog to be presented on the one wireless
`
`2
`communication device, based in part on device capa-
`bilities of the one wireless communication device; and
`presenting the selected portion of the product catalog to
`the one wireless communication device, such that the
`selected portion, as presented, provides a_
`single
`description of each item of digital content
`in said
`portion, regardless of a number of implementations
`that are available for each said item.
`8. Asystem that provides access to digital contentfor use
`on wireless communication devices, said system comprising:
`a network interface through which to communicate over
`a communication network; and
`a download managerto:
`receive and store a plurality of items of digital content
`to be madeavailable for use in wireless communi-
`cation devices used by a plurality of wireless tele-
`communications
`subscribers,
`including receiving
`and storing a plurality of different implementations
`of at least one of the items of digital content, where
`each implementation of any given item of digital
`content corresponds to a different set of device
`capabilities; [and]
`maintain a product catalog containing a description of
`the items of digital content, wherein the product
`catalog [including] includes, in association with each
`item of digital content, a reference to each imple-
`mentation of said item of digital content[.];
`receive a requestfrom one of the wireless communica-
`tion devices;
`in response to the request, select a portion of the
`product catalog to be presented on the one wireless
`communication device, based in part on device capa-
`bilities of the one wireless communication device;
`and
`present the selected portion of the product catalog to
`the one wireless communication device, such that the
`selected portion, as presented, provides a single
`description of each item of digital content in said
`portion, regardless of a number of implementations
`that are available for each said item.
