Network device and method of transmitting content from a first network device to a second network device
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a method comprising the steps of: a first network device (DEVI) outputting content (CONT), the first network device (DEVI) retrieving an address (ADDR 2 ) of a second network device (DEV 2 ) from a third device (DEV 3 ), and the first network device (DEVI) transmitting said content (CONT), which was output at the time of retrieving said address (ADDR 2 ), to said second network device (DEV 2 ). Furthermore, the invention relates to a network device (DEVI), comprising: means for outputting content (CONT), means for retrieving an address (ADDR 2 ) of a second network device (DEV 2 ) from a third device (DEV 3 ), and means for transmitting said content (CONT), which was output at the time of retrieving said address (ADDR 2 ), to said second network device (DEV 2 ).
1. A method comprising:
a first network device playing back content;
the first network device retrieving an address of a second network device from a third network device;
selecting the content played back during the retrieval of the address;
the first network device transmitting the selected content to said second network device; and
displaying the transmitted content on the third network device.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said content is one of a picture, a music track, a video clip, a movie, or a text.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said first network device is one of a digital picture frame, a MP3 player, a stereo or Dolby™ surround device, a television set, a DVD recorder, a satellite receiver, a digital book, a mobile phone, or a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA).
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said third network device is either a smart card or a mobile phone.
5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
retrieving, with said first network device, said address via a contactless interface.
6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein said contactless interface is an interface working according the standard for Near Field Communication.
7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
using key based authentication at a NFC level to restrict access to the content.
8. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:
transmitting, with said first network device, said content to said second network device via a communication link having a maximum transfer rate higher than a transfer rate of said contactless interface.
9. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
storing said content on said first network device.
10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying picture frames in a predefined sequence.
11. A first network device, comprising:
means for playing back content;
means for retrieving an address of a second network device from a third network device;
means for selecting the content played back during the retrieval of the address; and
means for transmitting the selected content to said second network device; and
means for displaying the transmitted content on the third network device.
12. The network device according to claim 11 , wherein said content is one of a picture, a music track, a video clip, a movie, or a text.
13. The network device according to claim 11 , designed as one of a digital picture frame, a MP3 player, a stereo or Dolby™ surround device, a television set, a DVD recorder, a satellite receiver, a digital book, a mobile phone, or a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA).
14. The network device according to claim 11 , wherein said means for retrieving are designed as a contactless interface.
15. The network device according to claim 14 , wherein said contactless interface is an interface working according the standard for Near Field Communication.
16. The network device according to claim 14 , wherein said means for transmitting said content comprise:
a communication interface having a maximum transfer rate higher than a transfer rate of said contactless interface.
17. The network device according to claim 11 , comprising:
means for storing said content.
18. A method comprising:
a first network device playing back content;
the first network device retrieving an address of a second network device from a third network device;
selecting the content played back during the retrieval of the address; and the first network device transmitting the selected content to said second network device, wherein the third network device is a loyalty card of a picture service.
19. A method comprising:
a first network device playing back content;
the first network device retrieving an address of a second network device from a third network device;
selecting the content played back during the retrieval of the address; and the first network device transmitting the selected content to said second network device; and
using a timestamp of a received request to identify the content.
