One or more content providers push data related to: movies, movie
products, digital movie content over a network (e.g., a LAN, a WAN, the
Internet, or a wireless network) onto an information filling station
which, in turn, wirelessly transacts (over a network based on the 802.11b
protocol) and transmits any requested data to a portable computer-based
device (e.g., laptop, a pen-based computer device, a PDA, a wireless
phone, or a pager). The portable device performs financial transactions
for: purchasing movie tickets (directly or via auctions), downloading
digital entertainment content of interest (e.g., copy of a movie of
interest, copy of a movie identified based on a pre-stored profile, copy
of soundtrack of a movie of interest), or movie related products. Any
purchased digital content is either transferred wirelessly onto the
portable device or, optionally, sent on a storage medium to a physical
address associated with the profile.
