Abstract
A method for outputting audio-visual media contents on a mobile electronic device is provided. The method may include receiving a request for the output of an audio-visual media content which is stored in a compressed format in a memory in a mobile electronic device; checking of whether a copy of the requested media content is stored in an uncompressed format in a nonvolatile memory in the device; and outputting the stored copy of the requested media content instead of the requested media content if a copy of the requested media content is stored in an uncompressed format in the nonvolatile memory in the device.
Claims18
A method for outputting audio-visual media contents on a mobile electronic device, the method comprising:
- receiving a request for the output of an audio-visual media content which is stored in a compressed format in a memory in a mobile electronic device;
- checking of whether a copy of the requested media content is stored in an uncompressed format in a nonvolatile memory in the device;
- checking of whether the device is being supplied with electric current through a battery operation or through external supply of power,
- allowing outputting the stored copy of the requested media content in the uncompressed format instead of the requested media content stored in the compressed format if the copy of the requested media content is stored in the uncompressed format in the nonvolatile memory in the device and if the device is in battery operation or external power operation, and
- allowing decompressing and outputting the requested media content stored in the compressed format if the device is in external power supply operation.
A mobile electronic device, comprising:
- a memory configured to store an audio-visual media content in a compressed format;
- a nonvolatile memory configured to store a copy of the media content in an uncompressed format;
- a controller configured to receive a request for the output of the media content which is stored in the compressed format, further configured to check whether a copy of the requested media content is stored in the uncompressed format in the nonvolatile memory in the device, further configured to check whether the device is being supplied with electric current through a battery operation or through external supply of power, further configured to allow outputting the stored copy of the requested media content in the uncompressed format instead of the requested media content stored in the compressed format if the copy of the requested media content is stored in the uncompressed format in the nonvolatile memory and if the device is in battery operation or external power operation, and further configured to allow decompressing and outputting the requested media content stored in the compressed format if the device is in external power supply operation.
