Wireless multimedia content brokerage service for real time selective content provisioning
First Claim
1. A multimedia content brokerage computing device comprising:
- memory; and
circuitry associated with the memory, the circuitry configured to;
receive a request from a mobile device to launch an extraction service when the mobile device comes into vicinity of a device capable of receiving multimedia content component streams;
determine a location of the mobile device;
assign a server to provide content to the mobile device based on the location of the mobile device;
establish a connection with a content provider;
obtain the multimedia content component streams from the content provider;
extract a plurality of identifiers for the multimedia content component streams; and
provide the plurality of identifiers to the mobile device in a single instance, wherein a single user interface is generated at the mobile device using the plurality of identifiers where the plurality of identifiers includes an identifier that corresponds to each multimedia content component stream of the multimedia content component streams such that the single user interface includes each of the identifiers that corresponds to each multimedia content component stream.

Abstract
A wireless multimedia content brokerage service can provide for real time selective content extraction in a manner that allows users to easily obtain, at a mobile device, one or more portions of a real time multimedia composite content presentation. The brokerage service ensures that the experience is transparent from the point of view of the user, and additionally does not require any specific interaction between the user and the display, or interaction between the user and the content service provider (or providers). Instead, the brokerage service handles the transactional details involved in subscribing to content and in obtaining, formatting, and forwarding content to the mobile device. Additionally, since the content of interest is not forwarded from the display itself and since some embodiments of the system do not rely on any interactivity at the display to identify the display device or content, relatively unsophisticated display devices can be used.
