Abstract

A process of accessing media resources on Android capable wireless devices running an i-jetty HTTP server from a personal Internet interface device such as the Sony Dash. Activating a servlet on the Android device to transmit an IP address to a Dash capable device and establishing a wireless communication connection from the Dash device to the Android device using the IP address. Operating a service on the Dash device that accesses multimedia resources on the Android device where the Android device dynamically generates multimedia metadata for extraction and display on the Dash device. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.

Claims

1. A process for accessing multimedia resources comprising:

initiating an i-jetty HTTP server on a first wireless device;

establishing a wireless communication connection from a personal Internet interface client to the first wireless device using the IP address of the first wireless device;

initiating a function on the personal Internet interface client that parses and displays multimedia content;

sending requests to the i-jetty HTTP server on the first wireless device for the collection of multimedia content and metadata;

transmitting the multimedia content and metadata from the first wireless device to the personal Internet client through the use of XML files; and

operating a service on the personal Internet interface client that accesses multimedia resources on the first wireless device where the first wireless device dynamically generates multimedia metadata for transmission to the personal Internet interface client for extraction and display on the mobile device.

2. A method for accessing multimedia resources comprising:

initiating an HTTP server on a first wireless device;

establishing a wireless communication connection from the personal Internet interface device to the first wireless device using the IP address of the first wireless device; and

operating a service on the personal Internet interface device that accesses multimedia resources on the first wireless device where the first wireless device dynamically generates multimedia metadata for transmission to the personal Internet interface device for extraction and display on the personal Internet interface device.

3. The method of claim 2, where the first wireless device comprises an Android capable device.

4. The method of claim 2, where the personal Internet interface device comprises a mobile device comprising a Dash Internet viewer client.

5. The method of claim 2 further comprising instantiating a function on the personal Internet interface device that parses and displays multimedia content.

6. The method of claim 2, further comprising sending requests to the HTTP server on the first wireless device for the collection of multimedia content and metadata.

7. The method of claim 2, where the multimedia content is transmitted from the first wireless device to the personal Internet device through the use of XML files.

8. The method of claim 2, where the HTTP server on the first wireless device comprises an i-jetty HTTP server.

9. A system for accessing multimedia resources comprising:

at least one servlet operating in an HTTP server on a first wireless device;

a wireless communication connection established from a personal Internet interface device to the first wireless device using the IP address of the first wireless device; and

a service operable on the personal Internet interface device that accesses multimedia resources on the first wireless device where the first wireless device dynamically generates multimedia metadata for transmission to the personal Internet interface device for extraction and display on the personal Internet interface device.

10. The system of claim 9, where the first wireless device comprises an Android capable device.

11. The system of claim 9, where the personal Internet interface device comprises a mobile device comprising a Dash Internet viewer client.

12. The system of claim 9 further comprising instantiating a function on the personal Internet interface device that parses and displays multimedia content.

13. The system of claim 9, further comprising sending requests to the HTTP server on the first wireless device for the collection of multimedia content and metadata.

14. The system of claim 9, where the multimedia content is transmitted from the first wireless device to the personal Internet device through the use of XML files.

15. The system of claim 9, where the HTTP server on the first wireless device comprises an i-jetty HTTP server.

16. A computer readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed on a programmed processor, carry out a process for accessing multimedia resources comprising:

initiating an i-jetty HTTP server on a first wireless device;

establishing a wireless communication connection from a personal Internet interface device to the first wireless device using the IP address of the first wireless device; and

operating a service on the personal Internet interface device that accesses multimedia resources on the first wireless device where the first wireless device dynamically generates multimedia metadata for transmission to the personal Internet interface device for extraction and display on the personal Internet interface device.

17. The process of claim 16, where the first wireless device comprises an Android capable device.

18. The process of claim 16, where the personal Internet interface device comprises a mobile device comprising a Dash Internet viewer client.

19. The process of claim 16 further comprising the step of instantiating a function on the personal Internet interface device that parses and displays multimedia content.

20. The process of claim 16, further comprising sending requests to the HTTP server on the first wireless device for the collection of multimedia content and metadata.

21. The process of claim 16, where the multimedia content is transmitted from the first wireless device to the personal Internet device through the use of XML files.
