Abstract: The disclosure provides for methods and systems for providing media content over a network. The method includes sending a query from a server over the network to a client regarding an ability of the client to playback the media content locally. The sending is automatic and initiated by the server. The method is further includes receiving, at the server, a response from the client regarding the ability of the client to playback the media content locally. The receiving is responsive to the sending. A version of the media content is sent from the server to the client based on the ability of the client to playback the media content locally.

Abstract: The invention presented here is a method and system for providing rich media content over a computer network. In accordance with the invention, a server on a physical or wireless computer network polls the software, hardware, or appliance of an end user on the network, for the availability of software and/or hardware necessary for the display of rich media content. This polling is transparent to the end user and requires no action on the part of the end user. Based on the client's response, the server sends an appropriately formatted version of the rich media file. The user is not necessarily aware that this transfer is taking place, as it is taking place in the background, while the user is performing other tasks or viewing content other than that which is being transferred. Once the rich media has been transferred in its entirety and stored, or cached, in the local memory of the client, the rich media content is displayed automatically in a designated display area. The user may then be able to manipulate the rich media content without affecting the other content or tasks that were being displayed prior to the display of the rich media content.

Abstract translation: 这里呈现的本发明是一种通过计算机网络提供富媒体内容的方法和系统。 根据本发明，物理或无线计算机网络上的服务器轮询网络上最终用户的软件，硬件或设备，以获得显示富媒体内容所需的软件和/或硬件的可用性。 此轮询对最终用户是透明的，不需要最终用户的任何操作。 根据客户的响应，服务器发送富媒体文件的格式正确的版本。 用户不一定意识到这种传输正在进行，正如在后台发生的那样，当用户正在执行其他任务或者查看正在传送的内容以外的内容时。 一旦富媒体被完整传送并存储或缓存在客户端的本地存储器中，则富媒体内容将自动显示在指定的显示区域中。 然后，用户可以在不影响富媒体内容的显示之前正在显示的其他内容或任务的情况下操纵富媒体内容。

Abstract: A method and system to provide a media file appropriate for playback. The system identifies an ability of a computer system to playback media content locally by querying a computer system over a network to assess a local playback capability of the computer system. Next, the system creates the media file in response to the identification of the ability and based on the ability. Finally, the system provides the computer system with the media file based on the ability of the computer system to playback the media content locally.
