First Claim
1. A method of distributing media content using mobile communication devices, comprising:
- providing digital media access cards, the digital media access cards promoting selected media content and containing enciphered information;
allowing a user of a mobile communication device to be granted access to a digital media access card;
generating an identification number, the identification number associated with the selected media content;
deciphering the enciphered information to create deciphered information, the deciphered information allowing the user to access a web server associated with the digital media access cards with the user'"'"'s mobile communication device and download application software enabling the user to access the selected media content with the user'"'"'s mobile communication device, the deciphered information further including machine-readable code corresponding to the identification number, whereby the application software facilitates reading the machine readable code with the mobile communication device and transmitting the code to the web server with the mobile communication device;
receiving the identification number with the web server and using the identification number to locate a table value in a database wherein identification numbers from a plurality of media access cards are each associated with a table value corresponding to media content associated with the access cards; and
using the table value to identify a media code associated with the selected media content in a content server whereupon the media code is transmitted to the mobile communications device whereby the mobile communication device may transmit the media code to the content server, the content server transmitting the selected media content to the mobile communication device upon receiving the media code from the mobile communication device.
