1. A method for mirroring media content and handing over the minoring by executing computer-executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the method comprises the steps of:

  • (A) providing a portable computing device, at least one remote server, and a network of audiovisual (AV) units, wherein the network of AV units is communicably coupled to the remote server;

    (B) providing a predetermined value index and an operational visual range for each of the AV units;

    (C) measuring a signal strength between the portable computing device and an arbitrary unit within the network of AV units;

    (D) measuring a geospatial location of the portable computing device in relation to the operational visual range of the arbitrary unit;

    (E) calculating an actual value index by inputting the signal strength and the geospatial location into a compatibility algorithm;

    (F) generating a client identification (ID) for the portable computing device with the remote server, if the actual value index is greater than or equal to the predetermined value index;

    (G) receiving a mirroring request for a desired unit within the network of AV units, wherein the minoring request includes an unverified ID and a current location of the portable computing device; and

    (H) simultaneously playing primary media content on the portable computing device and the desired unit, if the unverified ID is authenticated by the client ID, and if the current location of the portable computing unit is located within the operational visual range of the desired unit.
