1. A method for use in a second computerized device set which is configured for wireless communication using a wireless communications protocol that enables communication with a first computerized device set, wherein the first and second computerized device sets include respective first and second continuous media players, the method comprising:
- receiving discovery information in accordance with a device management discovery protocol that is implemented at a communication layer above an internet protocol layer wherein the discovery information allows the second computerized device set to determine that the first computerized device set is capable of supporting selected functions;
making available to a user a first user interface that allows the user to enable communications with the first computerized device set;
making available to the user a second user interface that allows the user to add a particular content item to a list of user-selected content items;
wirelessly transmitting, in accordance with a wireless local area network protocol, an identification of the particular content item from the second computerized device set for subsequent use by the first computerized device set to facilitate presenting the particular content item on the first computerized device set;
wherein the supported selected functions include at least receiving of the identification of the particular content item and the presenting of the particular content item; and
wherein the particular content item is not presented on the second computerized device set during presentation on the first computerized device set, and the first user interface and the second user interface together comprise a unified user interface, wherein the unified user interface presents a second set of user input controls that allow the user to add the particular content item to the list of user-selected content items, and a first set of user input controls that allow the user to enable communications with the first computerized device set,wherein the particular content item comprises a continuous media content item,wherein the list comprises at least one of a list of bookmarked content items, a list of favorite content items, and a list of saved content items,wherein the first computerized device set and the second computerized device set are independently usable.

Abstract
Systems and methods for navigating hypermedia using multiple coordinated input/output device sets. Disclosed systems and methods allow a user and/or an author to control what resources are presented on which device sets (whether they are integrated or not), and provide for coordinating browsing activities to enable such a user interface to be employed across multiple independent systems. Disclosed systems and methods also support new and enriched aspects and applications of hypermedia browsing and related business activities.
