PROXIMITY-BASED CONTROL OF MEDIA DEVICES FOR MEDIA PRESENTATIONS
First Claim
1. A method for proximity-based control of content presented on a device, comprising:
- detecting entry of a user into a detection range of a proximity detection island of a media device;
notifying the user that the media device has detected presence of the user,detecting a RF signal from the user device;
connecting wirelessly, the user device and the media with each other;
displaying content currently being handled by the media device;
receiving a request for the media device to handle user content on the user device;
harvesting wirelessly the user content from the user device; and
recording the user content while continuing handling of the content currently being handled by the media device.

Abstract
Embodiments relate generally to electrical/electronic hardware, computer software, wired and wireless network communications, portable, wearable, and stationary media devices. RF transceivers and/or audio system in each media device may be used to wirelessly communicate between media devices and allow configuration and other data to be wirelessly transmitted from one media device to another media device. The proximity detection system may be configured to detect a presence of a user or multiple users and upon detecting presence, access content on a user device, and record the content while also playing back the content on the media device. One or more user devices in proximity of the media device post detection may wirelessly communicate with the media device and the media device may orchestrate handling of content from those devices or from a wirelessly accessible location such as the Cloud or Internet.

12. A wireless device including wireless detection of users and user devices, comprising:
-
a controller in electrical communication with a data storage system, a radio frequency (RF) system including at least one RF antenna electrically coupled with a plurality of RF transceivers including a WiFi transceiver, a Bluetooth (BT) transceiver, and an ad hoc (AH) transceiver, an audio/video (A/V) system including a loudspeaker for producing sound, a microphone for capturing sound, and a display for displaying information, a proximity detection island configured to wirelessly detect presence of a user and to notify the user that it'"'"'s presence has been detected, wherein the RF system operative to detect a RF signal from a user device, to wirelessly connect with the user device, wirelessly access user content from the user device or a location specified by the user device, and wherein the controller is configured to record the user content in the data storage system or in an external location that is wirelessly accessible using the RF system, and configured for handling current content from a content queue while the user content is being recorded. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
