Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods of accessing data items, including, for example, data items receivable over a broadcast network. One embodiment includes a method of accessing broadcast data items that includes receiving, on a mobile device over a broadcast wireless network, data identifying a plurality of data items available for reception by the mobile device. The method further includes transmitting, from the mobile device over a wireless network, a request for communication of at least one of the plurality of data items from a content delivery service to a repository device, detecting a connection of the mobile device with the repository device, and in response to said detecting, the mobile device receives at least a portion of the at least one data item from the repository device using the connection. Other embodiments include a mobile device, a repository device, and a content delivery service and related methods.

Abstract: Embodiments include methods and apparatus for personalizing access to broadcast content items. One embodiment includes a method comprising detecting physical proximity of a mobile device, receiving data from the mobile device identifying a user of the mobile device, identifying at least one local profile based on the data identifying the user, identifying at least one content item accessed by the user on the mobile device, updating the local profile based on the identified content item, and delivering content items to the user by reference to the user profile. Other embodiments include systems and apparatus configured to perform the method and related functions.
