METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RENDERING CONTENT ACROSS MULTIPLE CLIENT DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method of rendering digital content across multiple client devices comprising:
- rendering on a first client device at least a portion of first digital content;
determining on the first client device an identifier corresponding to the first digital content, wherein the identifier identifies a descriptor of the first digital content;
determining on the first client device a first position in the first digital content;
transferring the identifier and the first position from the first client device to a second client device via a network accessible library;
downloading the descriptor from the network accessible library to the second client device by using the identifier; and
rendering on the second client device at least a portion of ancillary digital content associated with the first digital content by using the descriptor and the first position.

Abstract
A method and a system for rendering digital content across multiple client devices are provided. At least a portion of first digital content is rendered on a first client device. An identifier corresponding to the first digital content, which identifies a descriptor of the first digital content, and a first position in the first digital content are determined on the first client device. The identifier and the first position are transferred from the first client device to a second client device via a network accessible library. The descriptor is downloaded from the network accessible library to the second client device by using the identifier. At least a portion of ancillary digital content associated with the first digital content is rendered on the second client device by using the descriptor and the first position. Thus, rendering of the first content and the ancillary digital content may be synchronized across multiple devices.

14. A system for rendering digital content across multiple client devices comprising:
-
a first client device; a second client device; and a network accessible library accessible by the first and second client devices via a network; wherein the first client device is configured to; render at least a portion of first digital content; determine an identifier corresponding to the first digital content, wherein the identifier identifies a descriptor of the first digital content; determine a first position in the first digital content; and transfer the identifier and the first position to the second client device via the network accessible library; and wherein the second client device is configured to; download the descriptor from the network accessible library by using the identifier; and render at least a portion of ancillary digital content associated with the first digital content by using the descriptor and the first position.
