Abstract

Methods and devices for distributing and receiving content are provided. In one example aspect, a method comprises: receiving a command on a first electronic device to output content at an output device associated with a second electronic device; and in response to receiving the command to output content at the output device associated with the second electronic device: providing content access information from the first electronic device to the second electronic device, and adjusting a security state on the second electronic device.

Claims (30)

1 . A method enabling rendering of content on a second electronic device, the method comprising:

establishing a trusted relationship, the trusted relationship comprising information for identifying at least the second electronic device at a first electronic device;

receiving, from the first electronic device, content access information at the second device;

outputting content, identified by the content access information, by an output device associated with the second electronic device; and

wherein the first electronic device is different from the second electronic device.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the output device comprises one or more speakers.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the output device comprises one or more displays.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the content comprises one or more of an audio file, a video file, a text file, a document or a multimedia file.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the content is in a form or one or more files.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second electronic device is selected from the group consisting of a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a laptop computer, a netbook style computer, a mobile communication device, wearable electronic device, and a television, and an audio based output device.

7 . An electronic device comprising:

a communication subsystem for communicating with a different electronic device;

one or more processors; and

a memory containing processor readable instructions for causing the one or more processors to:

establish a trusted relationship, the trusted relationship comprising information for identifying at least the electronic device at the different electronic device; and

receive, from the different electronic device, content access information; and

output content, identified by the content access information, by an output device associated with the electronic device.

8 . The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the output device comprises one or more speakers.

9 . The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the output device comprises one or more displays.

10 . The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the content comprises one or more of an audio file, a video file, a text file, a document or a multimedia file.

11 . The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the content is in the form or one or more files.

12 . The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the electronic device is selected from the group consisting of a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a laptop computer, a netbook style computer, a mobile communication device, wearable electronic device, a television, and an audio based output device.

13 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium at an electronic device comprising processor-executable instructions which, when executed, configure one or more processors to:

establish a trusted relationship, the trusted relationship comprising information for identifying at least the electronic device at a different electronic device;

receive, from the different electronic device, content access information; and

output content, identified by the content access information, by an output device associated with the electronic device.

14 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the output device comprises one or more speakers.

15 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the output device comprises one or more displays.

16 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the content comprises one or more of an audio file, a video file, a text file, a document or a multimedia file.

17 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the electronic device is selected from the group consisting of a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a laptop computer, a netbook style computer, a mobile communication device, wearable electronic device, a television, and an audio based output device.
