Abstract
A system and method for controlling output of content on a media rendering device. A mobile phone may be effective to receive a request for content where the content is from a content processor. The mobile phone may be effective to generate a command based on the request, the command including a URL, the URL including an address of a gateway processor and an identification of the content processor. The mobile phone may be effective to send the command to the media rendering device. The media rendering device may be effective to send a request to the gateway processor using the URL. The gateway processor may be effective to receive the content from the content processor and send the content to the media rendering device. The media rendering device may be effective to output the content.
Claims18
A method for controlling output of content on a media rendering device, the method comprising:
- determining, by a mobile phone, one or more output parameters of the media rendering device, where the output parameters include encoding requirements supported by the media rendering device, the encoding requirements relate to a resolution capability, relate to an audio decoder, or relate to a video decoder;
- requesting, by the mobile phone, a content list from a gateway processor for content stored at a content processor;
- receiving, by the mobile phone, the content list;
- receiving, by the mobile phone, a request for content in the content list;
- generating, by the mobile phone, a command based on the request, the command including a uniform resource locator, the uniform resource locator including a domain of the gateway processor;
- and
- sending, by the mobile phone, the command to the media rendering device.

- receiving, by the mobile phone, a request for content in the content list;
- generating, by the mobile phone, a command based on the request, the command including a uniform resource locator, the uniform resource locator including a domain of the gateway processor;
- sending, by the mobile phone, the command to the media rendering device;
- receiving, by the gateway processor from the media rendering device, a request at the domain;
- and
- sending, by the gateway processor to the media rendering device, the content.
A system effective to control output of content on a media rendering device, the system comprising:
- a mobile phone;
- and
- a gateway processor at a domain;
- wherein the mobile phone is effective to:
- determine one or more output parameters of the media rendering device, where the output parameters include encoding requirements supported by the media rendering device, the encoding requirements relate to a resolution capability, relate to an audio decoder, or relate to a video decoder;
- request a content list from the gateway processor for content stored at a content processor;
- receive the content list;
- receive a request for content in the content list;
- generate a command based on the request, the command including a uniform resource locator, the uniform resource locator including the domain of the gateway processor;
- and
- send the command to the media rendering device;
- wherein the gateway processor is effective to:
- receive, from the media rendering device, a request;
- and
- send the content to the media rendering device.
