Automatic delivery of media content to a device
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- generating, at a media device, a user profile based on first data received from a portable device, the first data corresponding to media content sent to a display device of the portable device by an application on the portable device;
causing, via the media device, a media recorder to make a recording of a media content item from a content source, the media content item selected by the media device based on the user profile;
in response to making the recording, initiating, by the media device, a push operation to automatically send the recording of the media content item from the media recorder to the portable device via a local area network, wherein the portable device stores the recording of the media content item at a pre-cache memory to enable the portable device to playback the recording from the pre-cache memory at a later time when the portable device is not connected to the local area network; and
responsive to sending the recording to the portable device, causing, via the media device, deletion of the recording made by the media recorder.

Abstract
A method includes generating, at a media device, a user profile based on first data received from a portable device. The first data indicates media content sent to a display device of the portable device by an application on the portable device. The method includes recording, via the media device, a media content item from a content source, where the media content item is selected based on the user profile. The method also includes sending the media content item from the media device to the portable device via a local area network. The portable device stores the media content item at a pre-cache memory to enable the portable device to playback the media content item from the pre-cache memory when the portable device is not able to communicate via the local area network.
