First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- at a first device having a human communication interface;
providing human communication content;
presently rendering the human communication content using the human communication interface;
while rendering the human communication content, passively wirelessly transmitting information regarding an existing first device capability regarding wirelessly transmitting the human communication content;
receiving, in response to passively wirelessly transmitting the information, information regarding an existing second device capability to render the human communication content;
switching present rendering of the human communication content from the first device to the second device.

Abstract
A device (200) that is presently rendering human communications content (202) via a corresponding human communication interface (203) will also passively wirelessly transmit information (103) regarding an existing native capability regarding also wirelessly transmitting the human communication content. Upon receiving (in response to that passive transmission) information (105) regarding an existing other device'"'"'s (205) capability of also rendering that human communication content, this device can then switch (106) present rendering of the human communication content from the first device to the second device.
