Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering digital content from a central location to one or more remote locations while advertising at the remote locations are described. The systems contain a centrally-located device where the digital content is stored, a remotely-located device for delivering the digital content to an end user, and means for semi-dynamically transferring the digital content from the central location to the remote location. At the remote location(s), the digital content may be previewed, viewed, or purchased by the end user. Both electronic and physical advertisements may be displayed according to demographic data collected from users, browsing activities, and the like. Security information may be delivered along with the digital content to reduce or eliminate unauthorized duplication or distribution of the digital content.

Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring remotely located devices, systems, users, and user activities are described. The systems contain a central device where the digital content is stored, a remote device for delivering the digital content to a user, and means for transferring the digital content from the central location to the remote location. Data about the remote devices, users, and the user activities at the remote devices may be monitored. The data includes fault monitoring data, system performance data, system management data, user physical activity data, graphical interface data, demographic data, sales transaction data, survey data, and the like. The data can be monitored on a periodic basis or on a substantial real-time basis.

Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering for collecting and reporting real-time or substantial real-time, data from remotely located devices to third parties. The systems contain a centrally located device where the digital content is stored, a remotely-located device for delivering the digital content to an end-user, and means for transferring the digital content from the central location to the remote location. At the remote location(s), information about the user and/or her activities are collected using any known means. Such information includes demographic data, sales transaction data, survey data, system performance data, conversion tracking information, and the like. This collected information can then be reported to parties on a real-time or substantially real-time basis. The data reported can be then used for various purposes, including customizing the advertising for an individual user or a group of users, to facilitate system administration, statistical marketing analyses, or any other purpose.

Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering digital content from a central location to one or more remote locations are described. The systems contain a centrally-located device where the digital content is stored, a remotely-located device for delivering the digital content to an end user, and means for transferring the digital content from the central location to the remote location at either scheduled times or in real time. At the remote location(s), the digital content may be previewed, viewed, or purchased by the end user. Security information may be delivered along with the digital content to reduce or eliminate unauthorized duplication or distribution of the digital content.
