1. A portable device comprising:
- a receiving unit configured to receive a user input;
a communication unit configured to communicate with a first device and a second device through a local area network, further configured to request a content list from the first device, to receive the content list from the first device, to request a content from the first device based on a selection of the content from the content list, and to receive the selected content via streaming from the first device in response to the request for the content;
a processing unit configured to process the selected content received via streaming from the first device; and
a display control unit configured to display the selected content received via streaming from the first device at a first display of the portable device, further configured to receive an operation for displaying the selected content received via streaming from the first device at a second display connected the second device while the selected content is reproduced and displayed at the first display, and further configured to provide a first instruction to stop displaying the selected content at the first display and a second instruction to start displaying the selected content at the second display in response to the operation.

Abstract
A communication medium with fewer limitations on the directivity or available communication range, such as an IP network, is used to perform a remote control operation.
Since two-way communication can be carried out between a remote controller and a device to be operated, it is possible to provide more reliable communication by means of a delivery confirmation, to handle a GUI-based complex command scheme, and to provide large-volume data transmission, such as moving-image streaming, using relatively broad bands. A television receiver to be operated by the remote controller distributes moving-image data, such as a child view, to an IP remote controller through an IP network so that the data can be viewed on the IP remote controller.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program that is executable by a processor to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving, by a receiving unit, a user input; communicating, by a communication unit, with a first device and a second device through a local area network; requesting, by the communication unit, a content list from the first device; receiving, by the communication unit, the content list from the first device; requesting, by the communication unit, a content to the first device based on a selection of the content from the content list; receiving, by the communication unit, the selected content via streaming from the first device in response to the request for the content; processing, by a processing unit, the selected content received via streaming from the first device; displaying, by a display control unit, the selected content received via streaming from the first device at a first display of the portable device; receiving, by the display control unit, an operation for displaying the selected content received via streaming from the first device at a second display connected the second device while the selected content is reproduced and displayed at the first display; and providing, by the display control unit, a first instruction to stop displaying the selected content at the first display and a second instruction to start displaying the selected content at the second display in response to the operation.
