SHARED MEDIA - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240179192 titled 'SHARED MEDIA
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a device that can initiate a shared media session with another device within communication range, receiving media content from a remote service and outputting it in synchronization with the second device.
- One or more processors determine candidate devices within communication range based on wireless signals.
- The device can initiate a shared media session with a second device from the candidate list.
- Media content is received from a remote service and output in sync with the second device.
- Synchronization information ensures contemporaneous output of media content.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Smart home systems for synchronized media playback.
- Collaborative work environments for shared media sessions.
- Entertainment venues for interactive media experiences.
Problems Solved
This technology solves issues such as:
- Ensuring synchronized media playback across multiple devices.
- Facilitating seamless sharing of media content in real-time.
- Enhancing user experience by enabling collaborative media sessions.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved synchronization of media content.
- Enhanced user engagement through shared media experiences.
- Simplified sharing of media content among multiple devices.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include:
- Media streaming services looking to offer synchronized playback features.
- Tech companies developing smart devices for seamless media sharing.
- Entertainment industry for creating interactive and immersive experiences.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be:
- Multi-room audio systems that synchronize music playback across different speakers.
Unanswered Questions
How does the device handle potential delays in receiving media content from the remote service?
The patent application does not specify how the device manages delays in receiving media content and ensuring synchronization with the second device.
The patent application does not mention the specific types of media content that can be shared and synchronized between devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
a first device includes one or more processors configured to determine, based on one or more wireless signals, a candidate device list identifying one or more devices that are within a communication range of one or more sensing devices. the one or more processors are further configured to, based on a determination to initiate a shared media session with a second device of the candidate device list, receive a media stream including particular media content from a remote media service while the particular media content is being sent from the remote media service to the second device. the one or more processors are further configured to, based on the determination to initiate the shared media session, cause the particular media content to be output, based on synchronization information, contemporaneous with output of the particular media content at the second device.
