Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To push a user interface to a remote device. SOLUTION: A graphical user interface ("GUI") can be presented on a remote control accessory device that has user input and display devices. The GUI may be defined and managed by a portable media device that is controlled using the GUI. 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:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To push a user interface to a remote device.SOLUTION: A graphical user interface (GUI) can be presented on a remote control accessory device having a user input part and a display device. The GUI can be defined and managed by a portable media device to be controlled by using the GUI. The portable media device can give a GUI image to be displayed to an accessory. The accessory can transmit information to the portable media device showing the user operation of the input device in response to an image to be displayed. The portable media device can process the input, and identify an action requested by the user, and take an appropriate action. This can include updating the GUI image given 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:
An accessory communicates 'with a PMD to store tags associated with broadcasts in a file maintained in a storage medium of the HPMD. Each time the user requests a new tag, the accessory generates a tag containing information descriptive of the broadcast material (e.g., song title, artist,.radio station identifier, time of tagging, etc.) and writes the tag to the tag file. The PMD communicates a portion of the information from one or more tags to an information delivery service. The PMD receives information from the information delivery service in response and presents it to the user.
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:
DEVICE, METHOD, AND GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR SYNCHRONIZING TWO OR MORE DISPLAYS A device displays a first user interface on a first display, including a plurality of objects and corresponding to a second user interface on a second display. While a first object is displayed as a selected object in the second user interface, the device: detects a first input requesting information about a second object; and in response to detecting the first input, displays information about the second object in the first user interface and maintains display of the first object as the selected object in the second user interface. After displaying the information, the device detects a second input selecting the second object. In response to detecting selection of the second input, the device: displays the second object as the selected object in the first user interface; and provides, to the second display, information that enables the second user interface to display the second object as the selected object.
