Abstract: A system for controlling a flow of content includes a terminal and a network entity. The terminal is capable of sending a content status including terminal status information having a listing of one or more pieces of content stored in a memory of the terminal. The network entity includes a content flow manager that is capable of receiving the terminal status information. Then, based upon the terminal status information, the content flow manager can control the flow of content to the terminal. More particuarly, for example, the content flow manager can be capable of controlling the terminal to delete at least one piece of content from a memory of the terminal, and/or download at least one piece of content from a source of content.

Abstract: A terminal for recording content usage statistics comprises a memory and a controller. The memory is capable of storing at least one piece of content. The controller, in turn, is capable of accessing at least one piece of content from the memory. The controller is also capable of operating a client application, which is capable of being triggered to obtain a location of the terminal by the controller accessing the piece(s) of content. The memory is also capable of storing, into a content usage log, at least one content usage statistic relating to the controller accessing the piece(s) of content. For example, at least one content usage statistic can include the location of the terminal. Additionally, or alternatively, for example, at least one content can include one or more statistics related to the terminal and/or the piece(s) of content accessed from the memory of the terminal.
