Management system for audio and visual content
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for managing message content are provided. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, by one or more computing devices, a message comprising audio content and visual media content. The method further includes sending, by the one or more computing devices, a first set of data descriptive of the audio content to an audio device. The audio device is configured to communicate the audio content to a user of the audio device. The method includes sending, by the one or more computing devices, a second set of data descriptive of the visual media content to a display device. The display device is configured to display the visual media content for the user. The method further includes providing, by the one or more computing devices, a notification to the user of the audio device to view the visual media content on the display device.
1. A computing device configured to serve as a broker for managing delivery of audio and visual content through different devices, the computing device comprising:
a display;
an interface for wireless communication with an audio device; and
one or more processors in communication with the display and the interface, the one or more processors configured to:
parse message content into audio data and visual data, wherein the audio data is different from the visual data;
select an audio device for delivery of the audio data to a user, wherein the audio device is wirelessly coupled to the computing device; and
coordinate delivery of the audio data through the audio device with delivery of the visual data through the display, wherein coordinating delivery of the audio data with delivery of the visual data comprises synchronizing a timing of the delivery of the audio data and the visual data to the user.
2. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein parsing the message comprises identifying text and converting it to audio.
3. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the message is received from another device.
4. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is a wearable device.
5. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the audio device is a wearable device.
6. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein selecting the audio device comprises determining a priority device from among a plurality of devices.
7. The computing device of claim 6 , wherein priority is based on operating states of the plurality of devices.
8. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein coordinating delivery of the audio data with delivery of the visual data comprises providing a notification through the audio device that visual data is available on the display.
9. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the computing device comprises a device for streaming media.
10. A method for managing, by a broker device, delivery of audio and visual content through different devices, the method comprising:
parsing, by one or more processors message content into audio data and visual data, wherein the audio data is different from the visual data;
selecting, by the one or more processors, an audio device for delivery of the audio data to a user, wherein the audio device is wirelessly coupled to the broker device through a communication interface of the broker device; and
coordinating, by the one or more processors, delivery of the audio data through the selected audio device with delivery of the visual data through a display of the broker device, wherein coordinating delivery of the audio data with delivery of the visual data comprises synchronizing a timing of the delivery of the audio data and the visual data to the user.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein parsing the message comprises identifying text and converting it to audio.
12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the message is received from another device.
13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the broker device is a wearable device.
14. The method of claim 10 , wherein the audio device is a wearable device.
15. The method of claim 10 , wherein selecting the audio device comprises determining a priority device from among a plurality of devices.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein priority is based on operating states of the plurality of devices.
17. The method of claim 10 , wherein coordinating delivery of the audio data with delivery of the visual data comprises providing a notification through the audio device that visual data is available on the display.
18. The method of claim 10 , wherein the broker device comprises a device for streaming media.
