System and method for managing content between devices in various domains
First Claim
1. A method for managing content that is scheduled for broadcast during a first time period, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving an input from a user on a first device to delay the content to a second time period, the second time period being different from the first time period;
determining whether the first device is wirelessly connected to a first wireless communication system;
sending a data message to a host controller if the first device is connected to the first wireless communication system, the data message comprising a plurality of information elements including at least a delay content instruction;
obtaining the content scheduled for broadcast during the first time period to permit the user to playback the content during the second time period; and
sending the obtained content to a second device to permit the user to playback the content during a second time period on the second device, the first device being in a domain that is different than the second device;
wherein the first device being in a domain selected from a group consisting of at least the home, vehicle, and person.

Abstract
A system and method for managing content between different client devices in various domains (such as vehicle, home, and person). The system and method include receiving an input from a user on the first client device to delay the content. After receiving the input, the first client device determines whether the first client device is connected to a wireless communication system. If the first client device is connected to the wireless communication system, the first client device sends a data message to a host system. In one embodiment, the host system will then obtain the content (in whole or in part) after receiving the data message to permit the user to resume playback of the content on the first client device or another client device.

22. A method for allowing a user to manage content for a first device of the user that is scheduled for broadcast during a first time period, the first device being in a first domain that is selected from a group consisting of at least the home, vehicle, and person, the method comprising the steps of:
-
wirelessly receiving at a system a data message from the first device over a wireless communication system, the data message being received in response to an input from the user on the first device to delay the content to a second time period, the second time period being different from the first time period; obtaining the content scheduled for broadcast during the first time period, wherein the content is present on a second device of the user, and wherein the second device is coupled to the system; and sending the content to the first device over the wireless communication system to permit the user to playback the content on the first device during the second time period; wherein the data message comprises a plurality of information elements including at least a delay content instruction. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A method for managing content between a first device and a second device that is scheduled for broadcast during a first time period, the first device being in a first domain and the second device being in a second domain, the first domain and the second domain selected from a group consisting of at least the home, vehicle, and person, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a data message from the first device over a wireless communication system, the data message being received in response to an input from a user on the first device to delay the content to a second time period, the second time period being different from the first time period; obtaining the content scheduled for broadcast during the first time period; and sending the content to the second device over the wireless communication system to permit the user to playback the content on the second device during the second time period. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46)
