Method for Resuming Content Reproduction Across Devices
First Claim
1. A first data reproduction device, comprising:
- an input operative to receive first index data from a second data reproduction device, said first index data indicating a first position in content in a first format, said content including at least one of audio and video data;
a processor operative to determine a second position in said content in a second format using said first index data; and
wherein said first position represents a position in which said second data reproduction device interrupted reproducing said content, and said processor enables reproduction of said content in said second format beginning from said second position.

Abstract
A method for operating a data reproduction device enables users to resume reproduction of audio and/or video content across different devices of the same or different type. According to an exemplary embodiment, the method includes steps of receiving first index data from a different data reproduction device wherein the first index data indicates a first position in content in a first format and the content includes at least one of audio and video data, determining a second position in the content in a second format using the first index data, and enabling reproduction of the content in the second format beginning from the second position.
