PROXIMITY AND INTERFACE CONTROLS OF MEDIA DEVICES FOR MEDIA PRESENTATIONS
First Claim
1. A method for proximity and interface control of content, comprising:
- detecting presence of a user using a proximity detection island on a media device;
detecting a wireless signal from a user device;
connecting wirelessly with the user device using the media device;
wirelessly accessing content from the user device or a location specified by the user device;
determining a type of the content accessed;
determining a status, static or dynamic, of the content; and
handling the content on the media device based on the type and the status of the content.

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 and/or queuing of content from those devices or from a wirelessly accessible location such as the Cloud, Internet, NAS, Flash memory, or other wireless sources.

7. A method for proximity and interface control of content, comprising:
-
detecting presence of a user using a proximity detection island on a media device; detecting a wireless signal from a user device; connecting wirelessly with the user device using the media device; accessing wirelessly, using the media device, content from the user device or a location specified by the user device; determining a size of the content; selecting a location to record the content to if the content is dynamic, or to store the content to if the content is static, wherein the location is selected based on the size of the content; recording the content to the location if the content is dynamic; and storing the content to the location if the content is static. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A wireless device including proximity 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 (AN) system including a loudspeaker for producing sound, a microphone for capturing sound, and a display for displaying information, a proximity detection island configured to detect presence of a user and to notify the user that it'"'"'s presence has been detected, wherein the RF system is operative to detect a RF signal from a user device, to wirelessly connect with the user device, to wirelessly access content from the user device or a location specified by the user device, and wherein the controller is configured to playback the content using the AN system while recording the content in the data storage system or in an external location that is wirelessly accessible using the RF system. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
