MEDIA DEVICE CONFIGURATION AND ECOSYSTEM SETUP
First Claim
1. A device, comprising:
- a controller in electrical communication witha data storage system including non-volatile memory,an input/output (I/O) system,a radio frequency (RF) system including at least one RF antenna electrically coupled witha first transceiver configured to wirelessly communicate using a first protocol,a second transceiver configured to wirelessly communicate using a second protocol that is different than the first protocol, andan ad hoc (AH) transceiver configured to wirelessly communicate only with other devices having the AH transceiver using a third protocol that is different than the first and second protocols,an audio/video (A/V) system including a loudspeaker electrically coupled with a power amplifier and a microphone electrically coupled with a preamplifier, anda power system configured to supply electrical power to the controller, the data storage system, the I/O system, the RF system, and the A/V system.

Abstract
Embodiments relate generally to electrical and electronic hardware, computer software, wired and wireless network communications, and portable and wearable media devices. Media devices may include a plurality of RF transceivers and an audio system. The RF transceivers and/or audio system 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. A user device may be used to Bluetooth® (BT) pair with a media device and to install a configuration on the media device. Other media devices may be configured using the configuration without breaking the BT pairing and without the other media device having to BT pair with the user device. Each media device may include at least one antenna and may include an antenna that is de-tunable.

8. A method for configuring media devices in an ecosystem, comprising:
-
activating a Bluetooth (BT) discovery mode on a user device configured for BT communication; powering up a first media device; activating BT pairing mode on the first media device; BT pairing the user device with the first media device; connecting the user device with a wireless network; installing an application (APP) on the user device using the wireless network, the APP comprised of a non-transitory computer readable medium; using the APP to create a configuration (CFG) to be installed on the first media device, the CFG comprised of a non-transitory computer readable medium; installing the CFG on the first media device; and connecting the first media device to the wireless network. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for configuring media devices in an ecosystem, comprising:
-
powering up a configured first media device, the powering up operative to activate a RF system of the configured first media device; powering up an un-configured second media device, the powering up operative to activate a RF system of the un-configured second media device; determining that the first and second media devices recognize each other using wireless communications over their respective RF systems; transmitting a configuration (CFG) from the configured first media device to the un-configured second media device, the second media device becoming a configured second media device after the transferring; connecting the configured second media device with a wireless network. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
