OBJECT MODEL DELIVERING LIVE TV PROGRAMMING STREAMS TO DIFFERENT CLIENT DEVICE
In embodiments of an object model for domain-based content mobility, a client object model architecture ( 146 ) is configured for scalable and adaptive implementation to interface a mobile client device ( 128 ) with a media server ( 126 ) for wireless, secure download of media content ( 136 ) to the mobile client device. The client object model architecture can be implemented for domain-based control of a software application that invokes a media player ( 142 ) on the mobile client device, and interfaces with the media server that communicates the media content to the mobile client device. The client object model architecture also controls domain discovery of the media server, domain-based registration of the mobile client device with the media server, channel change requests, and solicited and unsolicited channel changes.
1 . A client device, comprising:
a media player;
media server software configured to control playback of media content on the client device;
a memory and processor system to implement a client object model architecture configured to:
send a request to change channel and channel number to the media server; and
receive channel change URI.
2 . A client device, comprising:
a media player;
instructions to control playback of media content on the client device;
a memory and processor system to implement a client object model architecture configured to:
request a server status;
receive notification of server status;
decide to change the channel according to the notification.
