Abstract
A portable electronic device has a wireless receiver configured to receive wireless content, a communication interface configured to interface to a docking station having at least one connected media presentation host device, and content reproduction circuitry. The content reproduction circuitry is configured to determine a format required by the media presentation host device and stream the content to the host device through the communication interface in the required format.
Claims20
A portable electronic device, said device comprising:
- a wireless receiver configured to receive wireless content comprising streaming video;
- a communication interface configured to interface to any one of a first docking station having at least a first connected media presentation host device, and a second docking station having at least a second connected media presentation host device;
- and
- content reproduction circuitry;
- wherein said content reproduction circuitry is configured to:
- determine, upon connection via said first docking station to said first connected media presentation host device, a first format required by said first media presentation host device;
- stream said content to said first media presentation host device through said communication interface in said first format;
- pause streaming of said content to corresponding media presentation host device when said portable electronic device is removed from said first docking station;
- determine, upon connection via said second docking station to said second connected media presentation host device, a second format required by said second media presentation host device;
- and
- resume said streaming of said content to said second media presentation host device, in said second format, when said portable electronic device is interfaced with said second docking station.
A method of mobile media presentation, performed by a portable electronic device in wireless communication with a remote content provider, the method comprising:
- receiving content comprising streaming video from said remote content provider;
- transmitting said content, in a first format, to a first media presentation host device;
- pausing said transmission of said content to said first media presentation host device when said portable electronic device is removed from a first docking station of said first media presentation host device;
- and
- resuming said transmission of said content, in a second format, to a second media presentation host device when said portable electronic device is interfaced with a second docking station of said second media presentation host device.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising stored instructions which, when executed by one or more processors of a portable electronic device in wireless communication with a remote content provider, cause the portable electronic device to perform a method of mobile media presentation, the method comprising:
- receiving content comprising streaming video from said remote content provider;
- transmitting said content, in a first format, to a first media presentation host device;
- pausing said transmission of said content to said first media presentation host device when said portable electronic device is removed from a first docking station of said first media presentation host device;
- and
- resuming said transmission of said content, in a second format, to a second media presentation host device when said portable electronic device is interfaced with a second docking station of said second media presentation host device.
