Abstract

In embodiments, the present invention provides a method and system for delivery of content on a mobile media platform, providing an automated tag processing facility, and delivering content to a mobile device, wherein content delivery is based at least in part on the automated tag processing.

Claims

1. A method of processing tags for mobile media delivery, comprising:

tagging content based on the requirements of preparing the content for delivery, wherein tagging is based on a consumption profile for the content;

configuring a mobile media platform to prepare the content based on the tags;

preparing the content for delivery using the configured mobile media platform; and

delivering the prepared content so that delivery related requirements specified by the content tags are satisfied.
