US Patent 7562290 Content downloading in communication terminals

A multimedia terminal (200) that receives a document descriptor file in response to a content download request, parses the document descriptor file for a reference to a specification file that controls the usage of the requested content, and thereafter the terminal obtains the specification file. The specification file enhances the user experience and/or allows content servers to exert more or less control over how hosted content is presented to the end user at the terminal.
