Re-direction of streaming multimedia in wireless communication devices in response to low battery level

1. A wireless communication device, comprising:

a wireless transceiver;

a UPnP controller entity having a re-direction output communicably coupled to the wireless transceiver;

a battery device having a battery level output communicably coupled to the UPnP controller entity,

the wireless communication device operable to attempt re-directing streaming content received at the wireless communication device to another entity in response to a battery level signal on the battery level output coupled to the UPnP controller entity; and

a re-direction notification module for producing a notification on the wireless communication user terminal when redirection of the streaming content is successful.

2. The device of claim 1 ,

a content rendering device,

the UPnP controller entity having a content rendering output communicably coupled to the content rendering device,

the content rendering device operable to discontinue rendering streamed content in response to a stop signal on the content rendering output of the UPnP controller entity.

3. The device of claim 2 , a content rendering pause module for pausing the rendering of the streaming content in response to a battery level signal on the battery level output coupled to the UPnP controller entity.

4. The device of claim 1 , a user streaming content re-direction module for prompting a user to re-direct the streaming content.

5. The device of claim 1 , attempting to re-direct the streaming content includes automatically attempting to re-direct the streaming video to the entity, which is predetermined.

6. A method in a communication terminal, the method comprising:

detecting a condition of the communication terminal;

attempting to re-direct streaming content received by the communication terminal to an entity other than the communication terminal based on the detected condition of the communication terminal;

producing a notification on the communication terminal if redirection of the streaming content is not possible.

7. The method of claim 6 ,

rendering the streaming content received by the communication terminal,

pausing the rendering of the streaming content after detecting the condition of the communication terminal.

8. The method of claim 7 , attempting to re-direct the streaming content includes prompting a user to re-direct the streaming content.

9. The method of claim 7 , attempting to re-direct the streaming content includes automatically attempting to re-direct the streaming video to the entity, which is predetermined.

10. The method of claim 6 , detecting the condition of the communication terminal includes detecting a user input indicating a desire to re-direct the streaming content.
