Portable media processing unit in a media exchange network

A method for communication, the method comprising:

• performing by one or more circuits integrated within a single chip in a first communication device, functions comprising:
• storing media and meta-data corresponding to said stored media, said storing occurring at a first location of said first communication device;
• causing, based on said meta-data corresponding to said stored media, a channel guide comprising representations of said stored media that can be selected for presentation on a television in a second location, when said first communication device is communicatively coupled to a second communication device at said second location;
• and
• in response to receiving a selection via said presented channel guide, causing displaying based on said meta-data corresponding to said stored media, of at least one media file corresponding to said received selection on one or both of said television and/or a media player in said second location.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, a computer program when executed by a computer processor or memory, having at least one code section for communication, the at least one code section being executable by a computer for causing the computer to perform steps comprising:

• performing by one or more circuits integrated within a single chip in a first communication device, functions comprising:
• storing media and meta-data corresponding to said stored media, said storing occurring at a first location of said first communication device;
• causing, based on said meta-data corresponding to said stored media, a channel guide comprising representations of said stored media that can be selected for presentation on a television in a second location, when said first communication device is communicatively coupled to a second communication device at said second location;
• and
• in response to receiving a selection via said presented channel guide, causing displaying based on said meta-data corresponding to said stored media, of at least one media file corresponding to said received selection on one or both of said television and/or a media player in said second location.

A system for communication, the system comprising:

• one or more circuits for use in a first communication device, wherein said one or more circuits are operable to store media and meta-data corresponding to said stored media, said storing occurring at a first location of said first communication device;
• said one or more circuits causes, based on said meta-data corresponding to said stored media, a channel guide comprising representations of said stored media that can be selected for presentation on a television in a second location, when said first communication device is communicatively coupled to a second communication device at said second location;
• and
• in response to receiving a selection via said presented channel guide, said one or more circuits causes displaying based on said meta-data corresponding to said stored media, of at least one media file corresponding to said received selection on one or both of said television and/or a media player in said second location.

A method for communication, the method comprising:

• performing by one or more processors and/or circuits within a single chip, functions comprising:
• storing at a first location, media and meta-data corresponding to said stored media;
• causing presenting, based on said meta-data corresponding to said stored media, a channel guide comprising representations of said stored media on a television in a second location, when said stored media and said meta-data corresponding to said stored media is transferred from said first location to said second location;
• and
• in response to receiving a selection via said presented channel guide, causing displaying based on said meta-data corresponding to said stored media, of at least one media file corresponding to said received selection on one or both of said television and/or a media player in said second location.

• storing at a first location, media and meta-data corresponding to said stored media;
• causing presenting, based on said meta-data corresponding to said stored media, a channel guide comprising representations of said stored media on a television in a second location, when said stored media and said meta-data corresponding to said stored media is transferred from said first location to said second location;
• and
• in response to receiving a selection via said presented channel guide, causing displaying based on said meta-data corresponding to said stored media, of at least one media file corresponding to said received selection on one or both of said television and/or a media player in said second location.

A system for communication, the system comprising:

• one or more circuits operable to store at a first location, media and meta-data corresponding to said stored media;
• said one or more circuits operable to present, based on said meta-data corresponding to said stored media, a channel guide comprising representations of said stored media on a television in a second location, when said stored media and said meta-data corresponding to said stored media is transferred from said first location to said second location;
• and
• in response to receiving a selection via said presented channel guide, said one or more circuits causes displaying based on said meta-data corresponding to said stored media, at least one media file corresponding to said received selection on one or both of said television and/or a media player in said second location.
