Abstract
An electronic apparatus wirelessly connectable to an external device for reproducing content data comprises: a unit for transmitting, by radio, content data to be reproduced to the external device wirelessly connected to the electronic apparatus; a unit for storing status information relating to the content data; and a unit for resuming, after disconnection between the electronic apparatus and the external device, transmission of the content data to the external device based on the stored status information, when wireless connection between the electronic apparatus and the external device is re-established.
Claims38
An electronic apparatus for transmitting content data to an external device for reproducing the content data, the electronic apparatus comprising:
- a first storage unit;
- a wireless communication device for transmitting to the external device, via a wireless connection between the external device and the electronic apparatus, the content data to be reproduced;
- and
- a processor programmed for:
- storing in the storage unit status information relating to the content data;
- and
- resuming, after disconnection and re-establishment of the wireless connection, transmission of the content data to the external device based on the stored status information.
An electronic apparatus for transmitting content data to an external device for reproducing the content data, comprising:
- means for transmitting to the external device, via a wireless connection between the external device and the electronic apparatus, content data to be reproduced;
- means for storing status information relating to the content data;
- and
- means for resuming, after disconnection and re-establishment of the wireless connection, transmission of the content data to the external device based on the stored status information.
