SELECTION OF CONTENT IN RESPONSE TO COMMUNICATION ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A content transfer service manager node (115) of a computer network (100) manages the transfer of content (175) over the network (135) from a content provider node (120) to a user node (110). The characteristics of the configuration of the user node (110) are determined, including the user nodes (110) capabilities with respect to downloading content and processing downloaded content. The service manager (115) arranges a content transfer that is particularly suited for the hardware, software, and communication capabilities of the user node (110).
