Title:
CONTENT CONTROL IN A DEVICE ENVIRONMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003107651
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Devices and methods are disclosed for controlling content within a device environment through interaction among electronic devices of the environment. The device has a transmitter (1408), receiver (1406), memory (1410) storing interaction rules and content rules and a processor (1404) for implementing the interaction rules and content rules in association with the transmitter (1408), receiver (1406), and other devices (1414-1424) of the environment. Methods involve obtaining content information of the media about to be played and comparing the content information to the content rules stored at a device. An instruction about playback of the media content is generated. Methods may also involve seeking rights information for media content and determining whether rights information exists for identified media content in response to the request. When rights information does exist for the identified media content, a message is sent that includes the rights information.
