Abstract
A method and apparatus for tagging rich media content so that receivers of electronic information on electronic networks can specify content preferences. The transmission of content is controlled by the setting of priorities by the user, according to different forms of content, and then the system deletes content beginning with that of lowest priority. Content can be deleted because of poor communications conditions, or proactively to effectively highlight aspects of the communicated information in conformance to the desires of the user. In particular, the invention anticipates the multimedia capabilities and transmission difficulties of emerging 3G wireless devices.
