Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and devices for distributing video content in a peer-to-peer network. A video content source outputs video content to a first display device of a plurality of display devices. Each of the plurality of display devices is configured to automatically detect and download video content from one or more others of the plurality of display devices.
Claims20
A video content distribution system, comprising:
- a plurality of video display transceiver devices, wherein each of the plurality of video display transceiver devices is configured to establish communication with one or more others of the plurality of video display transceiver devices through a network, each of the plurality of video display transceiver devices configured to automatically detect and download video content stored on the one or more others of the plurality of video display transceiver devices;
- and
- a video content source configured to provide video content to at least a first video display transceiver device of the plurality of video display transceiver devices.
A method of distributing video content, the method comprising:
- publishing video content to a first video display transceiver device;
- storing the video content to a storage device of the first video display transceiver device;
- automatically detecting the video content stored on the storage device of the first video display transceiver device with at least a second video display transceiver device;
- and
- downloading the video content to a storage device of the second video display transceiver device from the first video display transceiver device.

A video display transceiver device, comprising:
- a display device, including:
- an input configured to receive a video signal;
- and
- a display element configured to display video content carried to the input by the video signal;
- and
- a control device operably coupled to the display device, the control device comprising:
- a transceiver configured to send and receive video content through a network;
- a storage device configured to store video content;
- and
- a processor operably coupled to the transceiver and the storage device, the processor configured to cause the control device to deliver the video signal to the input of the display device, the processor further configured to cause the control circuit to automatically detect and download video content stored on one or more other video display transceiver devices.
