Method and apparatus for obtaining internet content for a wireless device
First Claim
1. A method for obtaining content for a wireless device comprising:
- associating a code with at least both a desired server containing desired content and with control description data that defines at least when to start recording the desired content from the desired server;
storing in a code server, the code with associated control description data; and
providing, by the code server, at least the stored control description data to the wireless device to facilitate acquisition of content.

Abstract
A method and apparatus provides for obtaining content for a wireless device in a more efficient manner by associating a code (i.e., other than a URL) (118) with at least both a desired content server (210a), such as an Internet server, and with control description data (420) that defines at least when to start recording the desired content from the desired server. This may include, for example, record description data such as a start record time (408) and other information. A code server (104) that is accessible via, for example, the Internet by a plurality of wireless devices, stores the code (118) with the associated control description data (420) on a per user basis. The code server (104) provides the stored control description data (420) to a wireless device (202) to facilitate time-based retrieval of the desired content in response to the record start time data (408) included in the control description data (420) provided by the code server (104).
