Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for handing off media content. A media player client receives a request to transfer a media stream, which is playing on a first media device, to a second media device. In response to determining that the second media device comprises a larger screen than the first media device, the media player content determines, based on the genre and resolution of the media stream data, whether the media stream data can be transferred, from the first media device to the second media device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a first playback position of a content item, a request to transfer display of the content item from a first device to a second device;
- based at least in part on the receiving the request to transfer the display of the content item from the first device to the second device, predicting an amount of time between the request to transfer and a receipt of the transfer at the second device;
- determining a second playback position of the content item based at least in part on the predicted amount of time between the request to transfer and the receipt of the transfer at the second device;
- continuing to display the content item at the first device after the first playback position until the second playback position is reached;
- and
- based at least in part on determining that a current playback position has reached the second playback position:
- automatically ceasing the display of the content item at the first device;
- and
- automatically causing the second device to begin display of the content item from the second playback position.
6 more elements
A system comprising:
- input/output circuitry configured to:
- receive, at a first playback position of a content item, a request to transfer display of the content item from a first device to a second device;
- control circuitry configured to:
- based at least in part on the receiving the request to transfer the display of the content item from the first device to the second device, predict an amount of time between the request to transfer and a receipt of the transfer at the second device;
- determine a second playback position of the content item based at least in part on the predicted amount of time between the request to transfer and the receipt of the transfer at the second device;
- continue to display the content item at the first device after the first playback position until the second playback position is reached;
- and
- based at least in part on determining that a current playback position has reached the second playback position:
- automatically cease the display of the content item at the first device;
- and
- automatically cause the second device to begin display of the content item from the second playback position.
