Patent ID: 7783982

Claim:
A method of obtaining gaming content and video content available from network servers located on a network using a wireless network terminal device having a gaming actuation input, a video actuation input, and a display, comprising the steps of: (I) obtaining gaming content by executing in the wireless terminal the following steps (a et. seq.) through (c) (a) storing a first destination parameter corresponding to a first network address for a gaming content network server and indicative of first preferred information, related to a game application program, in the wireless network terminal device; (b) in response to an initial single actuation of the gaming actuation input; (1) accessing a first network server addressed according to the stored first destination parameter by the wireless network terminal device, thereby requesting the first preferred information; (2) upon receipt of the first preferred information from the first network server by the wireless network terminal device, setting an initial state of the game parameters within the wireless network terminal as the game profile, and executing the game application program in the wireless network terminal device in accordance with the game profile; (c) in response to a subsequent single actuation of the gaming actuation input; suspending execution of the game application program and storing the current state of the game parameters within the wireless network terminal as the game profile, thereby enabling subsequent execution of the game application software at the current state; and (II) obtaining video content by executing in the wireless network terminal the following steps (d) through (j): (d) in response to an initial actuation of the video actuation input; (e) forwarding a default user identity and default password to a second network server containing video content, which is addressed on the network according to a second predetermined destination parameter; (f) downloading a video driver from the second network server that is adapted to execute on the wireless network terminal device; (g) storing a default video selection preference parameter in the wireless network terminal device that selectively defines a portion of the video content available on the network server as second preferred information, and (h) in response to subsequent single actuations of the video actuation input; (i) forwarding the second preference parameter into the network by the wireless network terminal device, addressed according to the second destination parameter, as a request for the second preferred information from the second network server, and (j) upon receipt of the second preferred information from the second network server by the wireless network terminal device, outputting the second preferred information to the display.
