Method and apparatus for obtaining data information
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- transmitting a message from a wireless terminal via a wireless communication network to a computer network for obtaining data content, the message indicating a resource containing the data content in the computer network,receiving at the wireless terminal one or more data packets relating to the data content from the resource over a broadcast network,receiving at the wireless terminal a list of data packets corresponding to the data content,comparing the received data packets to the list of data packets corresponding to the data content in order to identify a possible occurrence of one or more missing data packets, andif an occurrence of one or more missing data packets was identified, creating an additional message for obtaining at least one of the missing data packets.

Abstract
An apparatus and a method for providing user a wireless terminal operating within a wireless communication network an access to a resource storing content in a network of computing systems. A user message is transferred, the message including an identifier indicating the resource in the network of computing systems from the wireless terminal over the wireless communication network to a broadcast server having an access to the network. Communicating with the network of computing systems for retrieving the content indicated in the message. The content is broadcast over a broadcast network to the wireless terminal. The content, which is received at the wireless terminal, is presented at the terminal if the data packets of the content are substantially received at the wireless terminal.
