PORTABLE COMMUNICATION DEVICE HAVING A MEDIA TIME CONTROLLER
First Claim
1. A portable communication device comprising:
- a memory; and
a controller coupled to the memory, wherein the controller executes a media time controller program stored on a machine-readable medium, wherein when the media time controller program is loaded in memory in the portable communication device and executed causes the portable communication device to;
receive user input indicative of a time constraint value;
query a media content database for media content based on the received time constraint value; and
display available media content based on the received time constraint value.

Abstract
A portable communication device includes a media time controller that facilitates searching for and viewing media content based on user-selected time constraints. The media time controller causes the portable communication device to prompt a user for a time constraint value and to receive user input indicative of the time constraint value. The portable communication device queries a media content database for media content files with durations that are consistent with the time constraint value. The portable communication device with a media time controller allows the user to quickly find suitable media for the time available at the moment.
