  • Publication number: 20080072250
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed to distribute digital media information to an end user through individual modules. The invention includes a central networked data point controlling access to and manipulation of the digital media information for display at an end user display and one or more content modules, the one or more content modules providing access to digital media information at the end user display. Also included are a framework module configured to assemble the one or more content modules into a framework definition forming a graphical user interface (GUI) for the end user display and a framework modification module configured to selectively include content modules in the framework definition. Beneficially, such an apparatus, system, and method would allow for the distribution of digital media along with easy modification of the type and configuration of the media displayed.
