Systems and methods for controlling media recording devices via a media recorder proxy device
First Claim
1. A device, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the processor to perform operations comprising;
receiving a message from a communication device requesting a recording of media content;
in response to the message, sending, via a network, a first command to a first media recording device to record the media content in a first file format;
in response to the message, sending, via the network, a second command to a second media recording device to record the media content in a second file format that is different than the first file format, wherein the second file format is compatible with a portable device, and wherein the second media recording device is different from the first media recording device; and
sending a third command to the first media recording device, the third command instructing the first media recording device to send the media content to the second media recording device while the media content is being recorded at the first media recording device.

Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed that include receiving data at a proxy device specifying a first command to record media content at a first media recording device. In one embodiment, a second command is sent from the proxy device to the first media recording device to record the media content. In response to the second command, the first media recording device records the media content in a first file format. In one embodiment, a third command is sent from the proxy device to a second media recording device to record the media content. In response to the third command, the second media recording device records the media content in a second file format that is different than the first file format. In one embodiment, the second file format is compatible with a portable device.

12. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
receiving, from a communication device, data at a processor of a proxy device, the data indicating a request to record media content; in response to the data, sending, via a network, a first command from the proxy device to a first media recording device to record the media content in a first file format; in response to the data, sending, via the network, a second command from the proxy device to a second media recording device to record the media content in a second file format that is different than the first file format, wherein the second file format is compatible with a portable device, wherein the second media recording device is different from the first media recording device, and wherein the second file format is selected based on user input or the data indicates the second file format; and sending a third command to the first media recording device, the third command instructing the first media recording device to send the media content to the second media recording device while the media content is being recorded at the first media recording device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer-readable storage device comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations including:
-
receiving a message from a communication device requesting a recording of media content; and in response to the message, sending, to a first media recording device via a network, a first command to schedule recording of the media content in a first file format at the first media recording device; in response to the message, sending, to a second media recording device via the network, a second command to schedule recording of the media content in a second file format at the second media recording device, wherein the second file format is different than the first file format, and wherein the second media recording device is different from the first media recording device; and sending a third command to the first media recording device, the third command instructing the first media recording device to send the media content to the second media recording device while the media content is being recorded at the first media recording device. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
