First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a request for content from a user equipment configured to communicate with a service platform via a communication network, wherein the content is managed by the service platform and wherein the content was preloaded on a radio frequency memory tag by the service platform via the communication network;
initiating transmission of the content from the memory tag to the user equipment;
receiving an acknowledgement that the content has been transferred; and
returning the memory tag to a passive mode;
wherein returning the memory tag to the passive mode is in response to the acknowledgements;
wherein the content can be transferred absent the communication network.

Abstract
An approach is provided for retrieving ordered content via a service endpoint. A radio frequency memory tag is preloaded with content managed by a service platform. A request is generated for content stored on the radio frequency memory tag of an endpoint associated with the service platform. Transmission of the request to the endpoint is initiated. The request for the content is received from a user equipment. Transmission of the content is initiated from the memory tag to the user equipment. The user equipment receives the content from the memory tag in response to the request.
