SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND MEDIA FOR PRESENTING MEDIA CONTENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18455870 titled 'SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND MEDIA FOR PRESENTING MEDIA CONTENT

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for presenting media content using a media playback device and a computing device connected over a network. The system establishes a connection with the media playback device and responds to a discovery request from the computing device. It then establishes a persistent communication channel with the computing device and receives identifying information of the media content item being presented by the computing device. The system requests the media content item from the identified source and presents it using the media playback device.

  • The system connects a media playback device and a computing device over a network.
  • It establishes a persistent communication channel with the computing device.
  • The system receives identifying information of the media content item being presented by the computing device.
  • It requests the media content item from the identified source as a stream of media content.
  • The system presents the media content item using the media playback device.

Potential Applications

  • Streaming media content from a computing device to a media playback device.
  • Remote control of media playback devices.
  • Seamless integration of media content across multiple devices.

Problems Solved

  • Simplifies the process of presenting media content on a media playback device.
  • Enables remote control and streaming of media content.
  • Provides a seamless experience for accessing and playing media content across different devices.

Benefits

  • Convenient and easy access to media content on a media playback device.
  • Enhanced user experience with seamless integration of media content across devices.
  • Remote control capabilities for media playback devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems, methods, and media for presenting media content are provided. In some implementations, a system for presenting media content is provided, the system comprising: a hardware processor that is programmed to: establish a connection with a media playback device; respond to a discovery request from a computing device presenting a media content item; establish a persistent communication channel with the computing device over a network in response to a request from the computing device to establish the persistent communication channel; receive identifying information of the media content item being presented by the computing device and identifying information of a source of the media content item being presented by the computing device; request the media content item from the identified source of the media content item as a stream of media content; and cause the media content item to be presented using the media playback device.
