METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND MEDIA FOR PRESENTING MEDIA CONTENT ITEMS USING MULTIPLE DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18219883 titled 'METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND MEDIA FOR PRESENTING MEDIA CONTENT ITEMS USING MULTIPLE DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes mechanisms for presenting media content items using multiple devices. Here are the key points:

  • The invention allows for presenting media content on a media device that has not been authenticated with a content service.
  • When an offer to purchase a content item is detected, the media device becomes discoverable by mobile devices on the same local area network.
  • The offer data associated with the purchase is encoded and transmitted to a mobile device, which then presents a payment user interface.
  • Once the purchase is initiated, the mobile device can request to cast the content item on the media device.
  • In response to the cast request, a receiver application on the media device accepts the request and presents the content item.


Original Abstract Submitted

Mechanisms for presenting media content items using multiple devices are provided. In some embodiments, methods for presenting media content are provided that include: detecting an offer to initiate a purchase of a content item being presented using the media device, wherein the media device has not been authenticated with a content service that provides the content item; in response to detecting the offer to initiate the purchase of the content item when the media device has not been authenticated with the content service that provides the content item, causing the media device to be discoverable by one or more mobile devices that are connected to a same local area network as the media device; encoding offer data corresponding to the detected offer to initiate the purchase of the content item; in response to receiving a status request from a mobile device that is connected to the same local area network as the media device, transmitting the encoded offer data associated with the purchase of the content item to the mobile device, wherein the encoded offer data causes a payment user interface to be presented on the mobile device; receiving a cast request from the mobile device to cast the content item on the media device; and in response to the cast request, executing a receiver application on the media device that accepts the cast request from the mobile device and causes the content item to be presented using the media device.
