Abstract

An apparatus for providing unrestricted content on a user terminal may include a processor. The processor may be configured to invoke a substitute function expansion application to request access to content associated with an object, in response to receiving an indication of an unknown function expansion application required to access the content associated with the object. The processor may further be configured to communicate information associated with the object to a network entity via the substitute function expansion application. The processor may also be configured to process the content associated with the object received from the remote network entity via the function expansion application, in response to the network entity accessing the content at a location associated with the network entity, and provide the received content associated with the object.
