Methods and systems for selectively capturing content and delivering the
captured content to mobile communications devices via wireless communications are
disclosed. In some embodiments, a mobile unit sends a request for content to a
nearby content server, to which the content server may respond with a list of available
content items. The mobile unit may send a second, refined request for a specific
content item. The content server may send the requested content item to the mobile
unit, or the content server may send a pointer to the mobile unit, which indicates
a network location from which a user may later retrieve the actual content item.
In another embodiment, a mobile unit sends a request to a content server for presently
displayed content. The content server may capture a screen image and send the captured
image to the mobile unit. Alternatively, the content server may send the file in
a native file format of the file from which the displayed content was generated.
