Delivering content to mobile clients
First Claim
1. One or more non-transitory tangible computer-storage media having computer-useable instructions embodied thereon for performing a method for requesting content over a communication network, the method comprising:
- rendering content in response to a previous request;
associating the content rendered in response to said previous request with a first key mapping contained with an input component;
transmitting a subsequent request for additional content;
receiving the additional content associated with the subsequent request;
generating additional key mappings for the additional content in the input component;
rendering the additional content; and
switching between a combination of text, images, video, or audio in the rendered content and the additional content responsive to manipulation of said first key mapping and said additional key mappings of the input component to interact with the rendered content and the transmitted additional content in response to said previous request and the subsequent request.

Abstract
A delivery system, media, and method for communicating content to devices are provided. The delivery system includes a services aggregator and content aggregator for processing requests from the devices. The services aggregator processes the request to identify credentials for the devices that generate the request and to identify providers of content specified in the request. The content aggregator receives the content from the identified providers and formats the content based on limits imposed by the device. Because the devices are configured to allow the services aggregator and content aggregator to perform computational-intensive tasks associated with requesting and transmitting the content, the complexity and cost of the devices are minimized.

1. One or more non-transitory tangible computer-storage media having computer-useable instructions embodied thereon for performing a method for requesting content over a communication network, the method comprising:
-
rendering content in response to a previous request; associating the content rendered in response to said previous request with a first key mapping contained with an input component; transmitting a subsequent request for additional content; receiving the additional content associated with the subsequent request; generating additional key mappings for the additional content in the input component; rendering the additional content; and switching between a combination of text, images, video, or audio in the rendered content and the additional content responsive to manipulation of said first key mapping and said additional key mappings of the input component to interact with the rendered content and the transmitted additional content in response to said previous request and the subsequent request. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

7. A computer-implemented method for performing a method for requesting content over a communication network, the method comprising:
-
rendering content in response to a previous request; associating the content rendered in response to said previous request with a first key mapping; transmitting a subsequent request for additional content; receiving the additional content associated with the subsequent request; generating additional key mappings for the additional content; rendering the additional content; interacting with the additional content via said additional key mappings; and interacting with the content rendered in response to said previous request via the first key mapping, wherein rendering the additional content comprises simultaneously displaying the content rendered in response to said previous request and the additional content in a display area having an input component with the first key mapping or the additional key mappings. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A computing device having a computer-storage media storing computer-useable instruction for performing a method for requesting content over a communication network, the computing device comprising:
-
at least one display configured to render content in response to a previous request; and at least one processor configured to perform the following; associate the content rendered in response to said previous request with a first key mapping, transmit a subsequent request for additional content, and receiving the additional content associated with the subsequent request, generate additional key mappings for the additional content, and provide the additional content to the at least one display, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to switch between said first key mapping and said additional key mappings to interact with the content rendered in response to said previous request and the additional content provided by a service aggregator such that rendering the additional content comprises simultaneously displaying the content rendered in response to said previous request and the additional content in the at least one display having a first area for the content rendered in response to previous request and additional areas for the additional content and switching between said first and additional key mappings is triggered by touching a corresponding area of the display area to alter a focus to interact with the content rendered in response to the previous request or the focus to interact with the additional content. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
