METHOD FOR CONTENT DELIVERY INVOLVING A POLICY DATABASE

摘要

The present invention comprises a content delivery system (510) for delivering content to clients (628, 660). The content delivery system (510) comprises at least one mobile object (512) adapted to be executed on the content delivery system (510) and on other content delivery systems (520) or multimedia devices (620) adapted for mobile objects. Each mobile object (512) comprises a media file (513) and is further adapted to determine the capabilities of the other content delivery systems (520) or multimedia devices (620) and to monitor data related to the clients' (628, 660) access of the media file (513). The content delivery system (510) also comprises a transcoder unit (519) for transcoding the media file (513) to another media file (523) prior sending it to the other content delivery system (520) or multimedia device (620). The invention solves problems that can arise when sending large media files to content delivery systems (520) or multimedia devices (620) having limited capabilities.
