RFID enabled media system and method that provides dynamic downloadable media content
First Claim
1. An audio and/or video media content providing device comprising:
- memory containing a stored periodically changing media content list comprising a mapping table that maps static content identification information with varying media identification information;
at least one controller operatively responsive to RFID tag based information obtained from a remote RFID enabled media object, wherein the RFID tag based information includes content identification information stored on an RFID tag located on the remote RFID enabled object, said at least one controller being operative to provide, based on said content identification information, said varying media identification information to facilitate access to media content associated with said stored periodically changing media content list, wherein said varying media identification information identifies a location of where the media content is stored and wherein the controller selects the periodically changing media content list based on a determined geographic location of a media playing unit.

Abstract
An audio and/or video media content providing device includes a controller, such as a server, that is responsive to RFID tag based information obtained from a remote RFID enabled media object. The controller is operative to facilitate access to media content associated with a stored periodically changing media content list. For example, a content registry database may be periodically updated through a suitable user interface to change a link between content identification information read from a remote RFID enabled media object, with media application information so that the same RFID tag may allow the downloading of different media. The link between the content ID and the media ID may be dynamically changed through the controller. This may be advantageous, to provide for example, a Top 10 song card or other RFID enabled object that stays the same but can be used to securely download different media over time.
