Abstract

A system and a method for intelligent media recording and playback on a mobile device are provided. The system and the method for intelligent media recording and playback on a mobile device have a transmitter for receiving the media and/or metadata which is associated with the media. The transmitter sends and/or transmits the media and/or the metadata to a first memory, a second memory, a first output device and/or a second output device. The memories record, save and/or store the media and/or the metadata. The memories automatically record and/or save the media and/or the metadata when the mobile device is engaged in a function different from outputting the media and/or the metadata. In addition, the memories transmit and/or send the media and/or the metadata to the output devices which display, broadcast and/or play the media and/or the metadata.

Claims

1. A system for intelligent media recording and playback, the system comprising:

a transmitter that transmits a first media file and a second media file;

a mobile device that has a first receptor in the mobile device wherein the first receptor receives the first media file from the transmitter;

a first output component of the mobile device wherein the first output component obtains the first media file from the first receptor and allows a user to consume the first media file; and

a first memory in the mobile device wherein the second media file is received from the transmitter and transmitted to the first memory wherein the second media file is stored by the first memory if consumption of the first media file is substantially simultaneous with receipt of the second media file.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the user interface allows the user to program a time for transmission and storage of the first media file.

3. The system of claim 1 further comprising:

a user interface that allows the user to select the second media file for storage and the first media file for consumption if the first media file and the second media file are received substantially simultaneously.

4. The system of claim 1 further comprising:

a user interface that allows the user to pause consumption of the first media file so that an unconsumed portion of the first media file is stored in the first memory.

5. The system of claim 1 further comprising:

a user interface that allows the user to rewind the first media file to view an earlier portion of the first media file.

6. The system of claim 1 further comprising:

a filter in the mobile device wherein the filter converts the second media file from a first format to a second format.

7. The system of claim 1 further comprising:

a second output component in the mobile device wherein the second output component allows the user to consume the second media file on the second output component while the first media file is consumed on the first output component.

8. The system of claim 1 further comprising:

a second receptor in the mobile device wherein the second receptor receives the second media file from the transmitter.

9. The system of claim 1 wherein the output component displays metadata associated with the second media file.

10. The system of claim 1 further comprising:

a second memory wherein the mobile device consumes the second media file from the first memory and substantially simultaneously engages in a function using the second memory.

11. The system of claim 1 further comprising:

a processor connected to the first memory wherein the processor controls the storage of the second media file and the consumption of the first media file.

12. A method for intelligent media recording and playback, the method comprising the steps of:

consuming a first media file on a mobile device;

receiving a second media file on the mobile device as the first media file is consumed;

storing the second media file in a memory of the mobile device;

consuming the second media file on the mobile device; and

controlling consumption of the second media file on the mobile device wherein the mobile device allows the user to rewind the second media file to consume an earlier portion of the second media file, pause the second media file to resume the consumption of the second media file at a later time and forward the second media file to consume a later portion of the second media file.

13. The method of claim 12 further comprising the step of:

programming a time for transmission of the second media file.

14. The method of claim 12 further comprising the step of:

converting the second media file from a first format to a second format.

15. The method of claim 12 further comprising the step of:

consuming the first media file using a first output while the second media file is consumed substantially simultaneously using a second output.

16. A method for intelligent media recording and playback, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving a media file on a mobile device;

consuming a portion of the media file on an output component of the mobile device;

pausing consumption of the media file on the mobile device wherein the media file is stored in a memory of the mobile device; and

resuming consumption of the media file on the output component of the mobile device.

17. The method of claim 16 further comprising the step of:

pausing consumption of the media file if the mobile device engages in a function different than consumption of the media file.

18. The method of claim 16 further comprising the step of:

pausing consumption of the media file if an additional media file is transmitted to the mobile device.

19. The method of claim 16 further comprising the step of:

programming a time for transmission of the media file to the mobile device.

20. The method of claim 16 further comprising the step of:

initiating a second consumption of the media file by transmitting the media file from the memory to the output component of the mobile device.
