Session continuity for providing content to a remote device
First Claim
1. A server for communicating content over a network, comprising:
- a transceiver for receiving and sending content over the network; and
a content manager that is configured to perform actions, including;
enabling a selection of content on a first computing device;
receiving an identifier associated with a second computing device, wherein the first computing device and second computing device are currently uncoupled;
receiving a request from the second computing device to access the server;
receiving the identifier from the second computing device; and
enabling access to the content by the second computing device based on the identifier, wherein the identifier further enables session continuity between the first computing device and the second computing device.

Abstract
A method and apparatus is directed to provide a clip of content to a remote device, such as a mobile device. The invention enables an end-user to select content from a networked device, such as a personal computer. The selected content may include content from a webpage, graphic images, audio files, and the like. Selecting the content includes entry of an identifier such as a Mobile Identification Number (MIN), and a Mobile Station International ISDN Number (MSISDN). When the end-user employs the remote device to access the content, a server employs the identifier to determine if the remote device is authenticated and authorized to access the content. If it is, then the server provides the content to establish session continuity with the remote device. The content may then be transmitted to the remote device using any of a variety of messaging protocols.

12. A method of communicating content over a network, comprising:
-
enabling a selection of content on a first computing device;
sending, by the first computing device, an identifier associated with a second computing device, wherein the first computing device and second computing device are currently uncoupled;
sending a request from the second computing device to access a server;
sending the identifier from the second computing device to the server;
determining if the second computing device is authorized to access the content; and
if the second computing device is authorized, enabling access to the content by the second computing device based on the identifier. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A modulated data signal for communicating content over a network, the modulated data signal comprising:
-
enabling a selection of content on a first computing device;
sending from the first computing device an identifier associated with a second computing device, wherein the first computing device and second computing device are currently uncoupled;
sending a request from the second computing device to access the server;
sending the identifier from the second computing device; and
if the second computing device is authorized, enabling access to the content by the second computing device based on the identifier. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A server for communicating content over a network, comprising:
-
a transceiver for receiving and sending content over the network; and
a content manager that is configured to perform actions, including;
a means for enabling a selection of content on a first computing device;
a means for receiving an identifier associated with a second computing device, wherein the first computing device and second computing device are currently uncoupled;
a means for employing the identifier to store the content;
a means for receiving a request from the second computing device to access the server;
a means for receiving the identifier from the second computing device;
a means for employing the identifier to retrieve the stored content; and
a means for providing the content to the second computing device, wherein the identifier enables session continuity between the first computing device and the second computing device.
