System and method for determining and delivering appropriate multimedia content to data communication devices
First Claim
1. A method for determining and delivering appropriate content to a personal data communication device, comprising:
- receiving a message from said personal data communication device;
determining and associating a device capability with said personal data communication device based on a previous communication with said personal data communication device, wherein the previous communication with said personal data communication device is not a request to provide device capability;
establishing, based on the success or failure of the previous communication, if a content type is supported by said device capability;
transforming content having the content type into a format supported by said personal data communication device based on said associated device capability; and
forwarding said transformed content to said personal data communication device;
wherein, if additional device capability is determined based on identification of said personal data communication device within the message, the device capability associated with said personal data communication device is updated.

Abstract
Provided herein are exemplary techniques for determining and delivering, appropriate multimedia content comprising a combination of text, images, sounds, rich-text, animation, video, etc. to personal data communication devices (107), such as wireless cell-phones or wireless PDA'"'"'s, based upon device specific information such as the network protocol used by the device, the network provider, the device capabilities (110), the current state of the device, user specified settings, etc. An application server (109) contains an interpreter capable of executing a set of instructions to manage the delivery and receipt of appropriate multimedia and simple text content to and from personal communication devices (107). Appropriate content (104) is sent to the personal data communication device (107) based on the network protocol used by the device, the network provider, the device capabilities, the current state of the device and user specified settings under the control of the interpreter. A plurality of device capability input handlers (108) controlled by the interpreter is used to capture the device capability of the personal data communication device (107).
