Abstract

An apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a communication unit configured to communicate with a first electronic device, and a control unit operatively coupled with the communication unit, the control unit configured to receive, from the first electronic device via the communication unit, information associated with a playback location of multimedia data, the multimedia data to be presented at a second electronic device operatively coupled with the apparatus, based at least in part on the information, and transmit at least one portion of the multimedia data, to the second electronic device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An apparatus comprising:
a transceiver configured to communicate with a first electronic device; and
a control unit operatively coupled with the transceiver, the control unit configured to:
receive, from the first electronic device via the transceiver, information corresponding to a playback location of multimedia data being presented at the first electronic device, the multimedia data to be presented at a second electronic device operatively coupled with the apparatus, based at least in part on the information;
receive, from the first electronic device via the transceiver, at least one portion of the multimedia data being presented at the first electronic device; and
transmit, to the second electronic device based at least in part on the information, the at least one portion of the multimedia data.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the playback location corresponds to a location following another location at which a previous presentation of the multimedia data stopped or paused.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the information comprises:
at least one of a frame number or a time corresponding to the playback location.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to determine the at least one portion based on the information.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one portion comprises a specified portion following the playback location.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to:
receive other information associated with at least one of an identification, a type, a title, a time, a resolution, a bit rate, or a codec corresponding to the multimedia data.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to:
receive, from the first electronic device, a message to request presenting the at least one portion.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to:
receive, from the first electronic device, a message to request turning on or turning off at least one of the second electronic device or the apparatus.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to:
receive, from the first electronic device, a message to request at least one of pausing, stopping, fast forwarding or rewinding the at least one portion.

10. An apparatus comprising:
a transceiver configured to communicate with a first electronic device; and
a control unit operatively coupled with the transceiver, the control unit configured to:
receive, from the first electronic device via the transceiver, information to decode multimedia data being presented at the first electronic device;
receive, from the first electronic device via the transceiver, a message to request presenting at least one portion of the multimedia data;
transmit, to the first electronic device via the transceiver, a response to the message for presenting the at least one portion;
receive, from the first electronic device via the transceiver, the at least one portion being presented at the first electronic device;
decode the at least one portion based on the information; and
transmit the decoded at least one portion to a second electronic device operatively coupled to the apparatus, such that the at least one portion can be presented at the second electronic device.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the information is included in the message.

12. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the decoded at least one portion can be presented at the second electronic device in real time.

13. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the control unit is further configured to:
stop transmitting of at least part of the decoded at least one portion based on another message.

14. An apparatus comprising:
a transceiver configured to wirelessly communicate with a first electronic device; and
a control unit operatively coupled with the transceiver, the control unit configured to:
receive, from the first electronic device via the transceiver, a message to request presenting at least one portion of multimedia data being presented at the first electronic device, the message including information to identify the multimedia data;
obtain, from the first electronic device, the at least one portion; and
transmit the at least one portion to a second electronic device operatively coupled with the apparatus, such that the at least one portion can be presented at the second electronic device in real time.

15. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the information comprises:
at least one of an identification, a type, a title, a time, a resolution, a bit rate, and a codec corresponding to the multimedia data.

16. An apparatus comprising:
a transceiver configured to communicate with a first electronic device; and
a control unit operatively coupled with the transceiver, the control unit configured to:
obtain a user input to present at least one portion of multimedia data at a second electronic device operatively coupled with the first electronic device;
transmit, to the first electronic device, information to identify the at least one portion, based on the user input; and
transmit, to the first electronic device, the at least one portion,

wherein the at least one portion of multimedia data is being presented at the apparatus.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the information comprises a playback location of the multimedia data.

18. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the control unit is further configured to provide a user interface including a menu to control playing of the multimedia data.

19. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the control unit is configured to:
receive another user input to stop transmitting at least a part of the at least one portion.

20. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the control unit is configured to:
transmit, to the first electronic device via the transceiver, a message to request presenting the at least one portion.

21. The apparatus of claim 20 , wherein the control unit is configured to:
transmit the at least one portion in response to a response message corresponding to the message, the response message received from the first electronic device.

22. The apparatus of claim 20 , wherein the control unit is configured to:
display an indicator that the first electronic device is available to communicate with the apparatus in response to a response message corresponding to the message, the response message received from the first electronic device.
