Portable information processing device and media data replay system
View Patent ↗A portable information processing device ( 1 ) is provided with a communication portion ( 12 ) capable of communication according to a prescribed network standard allowing sharing of media data between corresponding apparatuses connected to a network, a built-in display portion ( 10 ) capable of replaying/displaying the media data, a control unit ( 18 a ) capable of controlling a display on the built-in display portion and acquiring the media data, and a first external display ( 15 ) noncorresponding to the prescribed network standard.
1. A controller comprising:
a display portion;
a first communication portion communicating with a first external apparatus connectable to a network;
a control portion controlling a content to be replayed by said display portion; and
a second communication portion transmitting said content to a second external apparatus communicating without through said network, wherein
said first communication portion is formed to transmit said content to said first external apparatus connected to said network through said network,
said control portion creates a control signal to control said content transmitted to said second external apparatus, and
said control portion is formed to select said second external apparatus as a displayer of said content on the basis of that said second external apparatus has been connected to said second communication portion,
said control portion is further formed to accept a selection instruction for selecting either said first external apparatus or said second external apparatus as a destination of said content.
2. The controller according to claim 1 , wherein
said first communication portion is formed to acquire said content from said network, and
said control portion is formed to control said second external apparatus to replay said content.
3. The controller according to claim 1 , wherein
said control portion controls said display portion to display a list of said content when said second communication portion is transmitting said content to said second external apparatus.
4. The controller according to claim 1 , wherein
said control portion controls said display portion to display a predetermined operation interface even when said content is being transmitted to either said first external apparatus or said second external apparatus.
5. The controller according to claim 4 , wherein
said control portion controls said display portion to display a list of said content even when said content is being transmitted to either said first external apparatus or said second external apparatus.
6. The controller according to claim 1 , further comprising a memory portion storing a content, wherein
said control portion is formed to transmit said content from said memory portion and control said second external apparatus connected to said second communication portion to replay the transmitted content.
7. The controller according to claim 1 , further comprising a connection portion connectable to a recording medium in which a content is stored, wherein
said control portion is formed to acquire said content from said recording medium and control said second external apparatus connected to said second communication portion to replay said content.
8. The controller according to claim 1 , wherein
said control portion is formed to control said display portion to replay said content and control said second external apparatus communicating with said second communication portion to replay said content displayed on said display portion.
9. The controller according to claim 1 , wherein
said control portion is formed to control said content to be transmitted to said first external apparatus and control said display portion to display control information about a display of said content.
10. The controller according to claim 1 , wherein
said second communication portion is formed to transmit sound data, image data, and said control signal to said second external apparatus.
11. The controller according to claim 1 , wherein
said second communication portion is formed to have a wired connection with said second external apparatus.
12. The controller according to claim 1 , wherein
said control portion is formed to acquire a content on said network through said first communication portion and control said second external apparatus connected to said second communication portion to replay said content.
13. The controller according to claim 1 , wherein
said control portion acquires said content from a server via said network at least through said first communication portion and serves as an operation portion to control said first external apparatus or said second external apparatus to replay said content.
