Abstract:
A system, method and computer program product for storing streaming media content includes: receiving streaming content, at a first mobile computing device, from a content service provider over a communications network; and determining, by a secondary mobile computing device specific details of a use of the content currently being received and buffered at the first device. The second device obtains, using the determined specific details, the content expected to be consumed by the first device to a local memory storage device at the secondary device, and stores the expected content for subsequent consumption. The system and method provides for an awareness of data usage of an account instance on the secondary device; storing a set of data locally on a secondary device based on usage of a primary device; and enabling the downloading of a set of data to the secondary device via a local connection to the primary device.
