Abstract

A method may include receiving a primary resource in a user device, wherein the resource includes a plurality of addresses and each of the plurality of addresses identifying one of a plurality of additional resources. The method may further include aggregating the plurality of addresses and sending the aggregated addresses to a network device. The method may further include receiving the additional resources in the user device.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving a primary resource in a user device, wherein the primary resource includes a plurality of addresses, each of the plurality of addresses identifying one of a plurality of additional resources;

extracting the plurality of addresses from the primary resource;

aggregating the plurality of addresses;

sending the aggregated addresses to a network device; and

receiving the additional resources in the user device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein receiving the additional resources in the user device includes receiving aggregated resources in the user device, wherein the aggregated resources include the plurality of additional resources, the method further comprising:

extracting the plurality of additional resources from the aggregated resources.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

receiving the aggregated addresses in the network device;

extracting the plurality of addresses from the received aggregated addresses;

requesting each of the additional resources identified by the plurality of addresses;

receiving the additional resources in the network device;

aggregating the additional resources; and

sending the aggregated additional resources to the user device.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

displaying the primary resource on a screen of the user device; and

displaying or playing the additional resources with the primary resource.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein sending the aggregated addresses to the network device includes sending the aggregated addresses to the network device in a single request.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein sending the aggregated addresses to the network device in the single request includes sending the aggregated addresses to the network device in a single data call.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the primary resources includes a web page and the plurality of additional resources include a plurality of images.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the addresses include an HTTP (hyper-text transfer protocol) address.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of address include a plurality of content identifiers (CIDs), the method further comprising:

converting each of the plurality of CIDs to one or more URL address.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising:

transcoding one or more of the additional resources received in the network device; and

wherein sending the aggregated additional resources to the user device includes sending the transcoded one or more of the additional resources.

11. A method comprising:

transmitting a primary resource to a user device, wherein the primary resource includes a plurality of addresses, each of the plurality of addresses identifying one of a plurality of additional resources;

receiving aggregated addresses from the user device, wherein the aggregated addresses include the plurality of addresses;

extracting the plurality of addresses from the received aggregated addresses;

requesting each of the additional resources identified by the plurality of addresses;

receiving the additional resources; and

sending the additional resources to the user device.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

aggregating the additional resources; and

sending the aggregated additional resources to the user device.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein the addresses include an HTTP (hyper-text transfer protocol) address.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the plurality of address include a plurality of content identifiers (CIDs), the method further comprising:

converting each of the plurality of CIDs to one or more URL address.

15. The method of claim 12, further comprising:

transcoding one or more of the additional resources; and

wherein sending the aggregated additional resources to the user device includes sending the transcoded one or more of the additional resources.

16. A system comprising:

a network device comprising;

a transceiver to transmit a primary resource to a user device, wherein the primary resource includes a plurality of addresses, each of the plurality of addresses identifying one of a plurality of additional resources, wherein the transceiver is configured to receive aggregated addresses, wherein the aggregated addresses include the plurality of addresses; and

a processor to extract the plurality of addresses from the received aggregated addresses;

wherein the transceiver is configured to send a request for each of the additional resources identified by the plurality of addresses, to receive the additional resources, and send the additional resources to the user device.

17. The system of claim 16,

wherein the processor is configured to aggregate the additional resources;

and

wherein the transceiver is configured to send the aggregated additional resources to the user device.

18. The system of claim 17, further comprising:

a user device comprising;

a processor to aggregate the plurality of addresses;

a transceiver to send the aggregated addresses to a network device and receive the additional resources in the user device; and

a display to display the primary resource on a screen of the user device and display the additional resources with the primary resource.

19. The system of claim 18, wherein the user device further comprises:

a services layer including a purchasing function, application authentication function, and update management function, wherein the services layer is compatible with multiple operating systems and multiple hardware platforms.

20. The system of claim 17,

wherein the transceiver of the user device is configured to receive the aggregated additional resources in the user device, wherein the aggregated resources include the additional resources;

wherein the processor of the user device is further configured to

extract additional resources from the aggregated additional resources;

display the primary resource on a screen of the user device; and

display or play the additional resources with the primary resource.

21. The system of claim 17, further comprising:

an authentication device including a transceiver to receive, from the network device, an authentication token associated with a session of a user, and to send a password associated with an account of the user to the network device.

22. The system of claim 21, further comprising:

a content device including a memory to store the plurality of additional resources.
