TRANSFERRING A BROADCAST TRANSMISSION TO A REMOTE DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions operable to:
- determine that a remote device has moved outside of a pre-defined area associated with a digital video recorder (DVR); and
transmit program data from the DVR to the remote device while the remote device remains outside of the pre-defined area.

Abstract
An approach is described that includes determining that a remote device has moved outside of a pre-defined area associated with a digital video recorder (DVR), and transmitting program data from the DVR to the remote device while the remote device remains outside of the pre-defined area. Another approach includes a digital video recorder (DVR) having a memory and a processor. The DVR operates to: receive an incoming transmission signal; transmit a selected program to a primary display device; determine that a remote device has moved outside of a pre-defined area; and transmit program data corresponding to the selected program to the remote device while the remote device remains outside of the pre-defined area.

13. A method, comprising:
providing a computing infrastructure that operates to; receive an incoming transmission signal at a digital video recorder (DVR); transmit a selected program from the DVR to a primary display device; determine that a remote device has moved outside of a pre-defined area associated with one of the DVR and the primary display device; transmit program data from the DVR to the remote device while the remote device remains outside of the pre-defined area; and cease transmitting the program data to the remote device when the DVR determines that the remote device has moved back inside the pre-defined area, wherein the program data transmitted to the remote device corresponds to the selected program that is transmitted to the primary display device; the determining that the remote device has moved outside of the pre-defined area comprises one of;
transmitting a locating signal from the DVR to the remote device and awaiting a return signal from the remote device; and
comparing GPS location data of the remote device to data defining the pre-defined area; andthe transmitting the program data from the DVR to the remote device comprises one of;
transmitting the program data directly from the DVR to the remote device wirelessly; and
transmitting the program data from the DVR to a wireless transmitter in a local area network (LAN) to which the DVR is connected.

14. A system, comprising:
-
a digital video recorder (DVR) comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the DVR operates to; receive an incoming transmission signal; transmit a selected program to a primary display device; determine that a remote device has moved outside of a pre-defined area; and transmit program data corresponding to the selected program to the remote device while the remote device remains outside of the pre-defined area. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer program product comprising a computer usable storage medium having readable program code embodied in the storage medium, the computer program product includes at least one component operable to:
-
receive an incoming transmission signal; transmit a selected program to a primary display device; determine that a remote device has moved outside of a pre-defined area; and transmit program data corresponding to the selected program to the remote device while the remote device remains outside of the pre-defined area.

21. A computer system for controlling a digital video recorder (DVR), the system comprising:
-
a CPU, a computer readable memory, and a computer readable storage medium; first program instructions to receive an incoming transmission signal; second program instructions to transmit a selected program to a primary display device; third program instructions to determine that a remote device has moved outside of a pre-defined area; and fourth program instructions to transmit program data corresponding to the selected program to the remote device while the remote device remains outside of the pre-defined area, wherein the first, second, third, and fourth program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage medium for execution by the CPU via the computer readable memory.
