Abstract
A mobile communication device for transmitting media content to a receiver assembly in proximity to the mobile communication device includes a transceiver assembly for communicating information with a wireless communication network, and a transmitter assembly for transmitting media content received via the wireless communication network to a receiver assembly in proximity to the housing of the mobile communication device. Media content may be received via a GPRS bearer service, an EDGE bearer service, a UMTS bearer service, and the like. The transmitter assembly is coupled with a software module for configuring the media content for reproduction as sound and/or video. For example, streaming audio data downloaded from the Internet may be configured via frequency modulation (FM) for radio frequency (RF) transmission to an RF receiver in proximity to the mobile communication device.
