Abstract
A method and device for providing downloaded objects to an application including downloading from a received transport stream a module containing an object requested by an application, storing the downloaded module, monitoring whether the stored module is the current version, when the application requests an object of a stored module and the stored module is a current version, providing the application with the object from the stored module, and when the application requests an object of a stored module and the stored module is not a current version, copying only the objects of the stored module still in use by the application, downloading the current version of the stored module and overwriting the stored module with the downloaded current version of the stored module.
