Patent ID: 7149783

Claim:
A method for delivering sequentialized content to a user's content receiving device, comprising the steps of: obtaining content having a plurality of portions arranged in a predetermined sequential order; accepting a first delivery rule from the user for said content, wherein the user creates and controls a custom issue delivery schedule, wherein the custom issue delivery schedule is required to comply with publisher defined physical and temporal dimensions of the content to maintain control over certain artistic parameters of the content; determining a next portion of said plurality of portions for the user to receive in accordance with said predetermined sequential order; creating an obfuscated filename for said next portion of said plurality of portions to prevent the user from deducing a filename of upcoming undelivered portions of said plurality of portions of the content by using a random character key in said obfuscated filename, said random character key is generated using a text-scrambling algorithm by using a label and issue number representing said next portion of said plurality of portions and other constant publication-unique information; and delivering said next portion of said plurality of portions of said content to the user's content receiving device in accordance with said first delivery rule and said determined next portion.
