ABSTRACT:
A system for device-aware content delivery includes a distributor and a database. The distributor includes modules for determining the type of portable computing device and delivering content that is operable on the specific type of portable computing device and uses the unique capabilities of the identified portable computing device. The database includes different profiles for different portable computing devices and gives information that allows those portable computing devices to be identified by type and distinguished from each other portable computing devices during a discovery or interrogation phase. The database also stores different versions of content adapted for operation on specific device types, such that once the device type has been identified, the matching content can be sent to the portable computing device, installed and executed. The matching content is programmatic action specific to the portable computing device. The present invention also includes a number of novel methods including: a method device-aware content delivery, a general method for automatically determining a device type, a method for determining device type using a Bluetooth® protocol and a method for determining a device type using an infrared device access protocol.
