Method and system for remote media management on a touch screen device
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- detecting at least one activation touch event with a touch screen display;
in response to the at least one activation touch event, displaying a list of media files having shared attributes and identifying at least one media file listed in a media file index for synchronization with a remote computing device; and
synchronizing the portable electronic device with the remote computing device by at least mirroring a most recent version of data files between the portable electronic device and the remote computing device, wherein the at least one media file is transferred between the portable electronic device and the remote computing device during synchronization of the portable electronic device with the remote computing device.

Abstract
The method of managing media files remotely on a portable electronic device having the touch screen display includes storing a composite media file index that lists all media files, and their attributes, whether stored on the portable electronic device or accessible at a remote computing device. The method continues by rendering a graphical user interface for a media manager application, operable to access the stored media file index, on the touch screen display. At least one activation touch event is then detected on the touch screen display, and in response to the at least one activation touch event, a group of media files having shared attributes are displayed within the graphical user interface, and at least one media file is identified for download from the remote computing device. The at least one media file is then downloaded during synchronization of the portable electronic device to the remote computing device.
