  • Patent number: 8959506
    Abstract: A system, apparatus and method for distributing content are provided. A request to provide content available to associated computing devices is received from a computing device. A list of the content available for installation at the associated computing devices is retrieved from a content database by comparing respective device attributes of each of the associated computing devices with respective content attributes associated with the content, wherein the list further comprises indications of which respective content is available for installation at given ones of the associated computing devices. An indication of the list is transmitted to the computing device. In response, selection data indicative of a subset of the content on the list selected for installation at respective selected devices is received from the first computing device. Respective installation data for installing respective selected content is caused to be pushed to the respective selected devices.
