Abstract
According to an aspect, an apparatus may include a media streaming device including electronic circuitry configured to receive media content wirelessly from a media content source, and an audio output cord segment having a first end portion configured to be coupled to an audio input port of the media streaming device, and a second end portion configured to be coupled to an audio rendering device, where the electronic circuitry is further configured to transmit audio content through the audio output cord segment to the audio rendering device.
Claims20
A streaming device configured to stream media content, the streaming device comprising:
- a housing having a top enclosure and a bottom enclosure, wherein the top enclosure is coupled to the bottom enclosure, and wherein the bottom enclosure has a sidewall that includes (i) a first opening to an audio port configured to removably connect to an audio rendering device and (ii) a second opening to a connector configured to removably connect to a power source;
- and
- electronic circuitry disposed within the housing, wherein the electronic circuitry is configured to receive audio content wirelessly from an external computing device over a communications network and transmit the audio content to the audio rendering device.
A streaming device configured to stream media content, the streaming device comprising:
- a cylindrical housing having a top enclosure and a bottom enclosure, wherein the top enclosure is coupled to the bottom enclosure, and wherein the bottom enclosure has a sidewall that includes (i) a first opening to an audio port configured to removably connect to an audio rendering device and (ii) a second opening to a connector configured to removably connect to a power source;
- and
- electronic circuitry disposed within the cylindrical housing that includes a system on chip, a flash memory, a wireless communications chip, and random access memory, wherein the electronic circuitry is configured to receive audio content wirelessly from an external computing device over a communications network and transmit the audio content to the audio rendering device, and wherein a first shield having a first internal frame separates the system on chip and the flash memory and a second shield having a second internal frame separates the wireless communications chip and the random access memory.
