Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide improved techniques for storage, delivery and acquisition of digital assets stored in cloud data storage.SOLUTION: A specific client device can access not only locally stored digital assets but also remotely stored digital assets from cloud data storage. Downloads of digital assets resident in cloud data storage to client devices can be managed in view of available network performance. Digital assets of differing quality levels can be downloaded in a manner dependent on network performance. Locally stored digital assets of reduced quality can be upgraded (e.g., replaced) by higher quality versions in a manner dependent on network performance.
Abstract:
Systems and techniques are disclosed for controlling, from a mobile device, media content stored on the mobile device to a media client for presentation on a display device. Data can be provided from the mobile device to the media client for identifying the location of the media content and a playback time. Based on the data, the media client can obtain a portion of the media content associated with the playback time. Also, playback of the media content on the display device can be controlled by a user of the mobile device.
