Abstract: A graphical user interface ("GUi") can be presented on a remote control accessory device that has user input and display devices. The GUI can be defined and managed by a portable media device that is controlled using the GU I. The portable media device can provide the accessory with a GUI image to be displayed. The accessory can send information to the portable media device indicative of a user operation of an input device in response to the displayed image. The portable media device can process this input to identify the action requested by the user and take the appropriate action, which can include updating the GUI image provided to the accessory.

Abstract: An accessory communicates with a PMD to store tags associated with broadcasts in a file maintained in a storage medium of the accessory, where the tags contain information descriptive of a subset of the broadcast content. In one embodiment, the accessory sends commands to the PMD to create or open a tag file that resides on the PMD, write one or more tags to the file, and close the file. Stored tags can be used to access (e.g., purchase) tagged content by communicating with a media asset delivery service either via a host computer or directly from the PMD.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide various communication techniques for communication between a mobile computing device and an accessory. An accessory protocol that is generic to the mobile computing device can be used for some communication. An application executing at the mobile computing device can communicate with the accessory using an application communication protocol. In some embodiments, the application communication protocol can be different from the accessory communication protocol. In other embodiments the application protocol may only be recognized by the application and the accessory. In some embodiments, messages conforming to an application protocol can be communicated between the application and the accessory by packaging the messages inside a message conforming to the accessory communication protocol.

Abstract: Remote user interfaces for portable media devices provided improved access by accessories to media assets and metadata stored in a database of a portable media device, enhancing a user's ability to control operation of the portable media device using a remote user interface provided by the accessory. In one example, an accessory can determine whether the database of the portable media device was updated while the portable media device was disconnected from the accessory. In a second example, an accessory can create and manage a playlist for the portable media device and can incorporate into the playlist tracks already queued for playback when the accessory connects to the portable media device. In a third example, an accessory can obtain database navigation history and initialize a database navigation interface to match the database navigation history.

Abstract: An accessory (110) can determine whether the database of the portable media player (202) was updated 318, 320 while the portable media device was disconnected from the accessory. The accessory, such as an entertainment system, has a database containing metadata (209) of media assets (207) stored on the player. When the player is connected to the accessory 304 database synchronization information is transmitted to the accessory 316. The accessory only updates 330 its database if the player had been updated since last connecting to the accessory. In a second example, an accessory can create and manage a playlist for the portable media device and can incorporate into the playlist tracks already queued for playback when the accessory connects to the portable media device. In a third example, an accessory can obtain database navigation history and initialize a database navigation interface to match the database navigation history. This enhances a users ability to control operation of the portable media device using a remote user interface provided by the accessory.

Abstract: An accessory can obtain portable media device (PMD) database navigation history and initialize a database navigation interface to match the database navigation history. When the portable media player connects to an accessory 604 the accessory requests selection history 606 from the accessory for a media asset already queued for playback and displays the selection on the user interface of the accessory 610. The user can also navigate the database from the accessory 612. The accessory can be a home stereo system. In one example, an accessory can determine whether the database of the portable media device was updated while the portable media device was disconnected from the accessory. In a second example an accessory can create and manage a playlist for the portable media player and can incorporate into the playlist tracks already queued for playback when the accessory connects to the portable media device. Enhances a user's ability to control operation of the portable media device using a remote user interface provided by the accessory.
