MOBILE DEVICE CARROUSEL SYSTEMS AND METHODS

1 . A method of presenting content to a mobile device, the method comprising the steps of:

outputting a first plurality of media presentations to a mobile device in a first cyclical sequence;

receiving a first user input corresponding to a particular media presentation among the first plurality of media presentations; and

altering the output of the first plurality of media presentations in response to the first user input.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the first plurality of media presentations comprises audio and/or video components and the step of outputting a first plurality of media presentations further comprises rendering the first plurality of media presentations in accordance with the format of the components.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of media presentations comprise one of a music video, a video game, a ring-tone, a digital wallpaper, and a song.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of altering the output of the first plurality of media presentations further comprises:

stopping the output of the first plurality of media presentations; and

outputting a second plurality of media presentations to the mobile device in a second cyclical sequence;

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of altering the output of the first plurality of media presentations further comprises:

stopping the output of the first plurality of media presentations; and

outputting media content associated with the particular media presentation.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of altering the output of the first plurality of media presentations further comprises:

stopping the output of the current media presentation;

outputting the next media presentation in the cyclical sequence of media presentations.

7 . A method comprising:

transmitting a first plurality of media presentations to a mobile telephone, wherein the first plurality of media presentations are rendered by the mobile telephone in a cyclical sequence at least until a selection signal is detected in association with one of the first plurality of media presentations;

detecting a first selection signal from the mobile telephone, the first selection signal being associated with a first selected media presentation among the first plurality of media presentations; and

transmitting to the mobile telephone alternate media content corresponding to the first selected media presentation among the first plurality of media presentations.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the alternate media content is a media item selected from the group of media items including a music video, a video game, a ring-tone, a digital wallpaper, and a song.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the alternate media content is a second plurality of media presentations and the mobile telephone renders the second plurality of media presentations in a cyclical sequence at least until a selection signal is detected in association with one of the second plurality of media presentations.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

detecting a second selection signal from the mobile telephone, the second selection signal being associated with a second selected media presentation among the second plurality of media presentations; and

transmitting to the mobile telephone alternate media content corresponding to the second selected media presentation among the second plurality of media presentations.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the alternate media content is a media item selected from the group of media items including a music video, a video game, a ring-tone, a digital wallpaper, and a song.

12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the alternate media content is a next plurality of media presentations and the mobile telephone renders the next plurality of media presentations in a cyclical sequence at least until a selection signal is detected in association with one of the next plurality of media presentations.

13 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the alternate media content is a modification of the first plurality of media presentations that is modified in accordance with the first selection signal and the mobile telephone renders the alternate media content.

14 . The method of claim 7 , one or more of the first plurality of media presentations is automatically modified during a subsequent cyclical sequence presentation of the first plurality of media presentations.

15 . A mobile telephone comprising:

software and hardware configured to enable the mobile telephone to:

receive a first plurality of media presentations;

render the first plurality of media presentations in a cyclical sequence at least until a detection of a first selection signal;

detect a first selection signal corresponding to a first selected media presentation among the first plurality of media presentations; and

output at least a first media item corresponding to the first selected media presentation.

16 . The mobile telephone of claim 15 , wherein each of the first plurality of media presentations comprises audio and video.

17 . The mobile telephone of claim 15 , wherein the first media item comprises one of a music video, a video game, a ring-tone, a digital wallpaper, and a song.

18 . The mobile telephone of claim 15 , wherein the software and hardware are further configured to enable the mobile telephone to:

responsive to detecting the first selection signal, rendering a second plurality of media presentations in a cyclical sequence at least until the detection of a second selection signal;

detect a second selection signal corresponding to a second selected media presentation, said second selected media presentation being among the second plurality of media presentations; and

output at least a second media item corresponding to the second selected media presentation responsive to receiving the second user input.

19 . The mobile telephone of claim 18 , wherein each of the second plurality of media presentations comprises audio and video.

20 . The mobile telephone of claim 18 , wherein the second media item comprises one of a music video, a video game, a ring-tone, a digital wallpaper, and a song.
