Portable media processing unit in a media exchange network
First Claim
1. A method for communication, the method comprising:
- storing media and meta-data corresponding to the stored media, the storing occurring at a first location of a first communication device;
causing, based on the meta-data corresponding to the stored media, creation of a channel guide comprising representations of the stored media that can be selected for presentation on a television in a second location, when the first communication device is communicatively coupled to a second communication device at the second location; and
in response to receiving a selection via the presented channel guide, causing displaying based on the meta-data corresponding to the stored media, of at least one media file corresponding to the received selection on one or both of the television and/or a media player in the second location.

Abstract
A method for communication includes performing by one or more circuits integrated within a single chip in a first communication device, functions that include storing media and meta-data corresponding to the stored media. The storing may occur at a first location of the first communication device. A channel guide including representations of the stored media that can be selected for presentation on a television in a second location, may be caused based on the meta-data corresponding to the stored media when the first communication device is communicatively coupled to a second communication device at the second location. In response to receiving a selection via the presented channel guide, at least one media file corresponding to the received selection may be displayed based on the meta-data corresponding to the stored media, on one or both of the television and/or a media player in the second location.

10. A method for communication, the method comprising:
-
storing at a first location, media and meta-data corresponding to the stored media; causing presenting, based on the meta-data corresponding to the stored media, a channel guide comprising representations of the stored media on a television in a second location, when the stored media and the meta-data corresponding to the stored media is transferred from the first location to the second location; and in response to receiving a selection via the presented channel guide, causing displaying based on the meta-data corresponding to the stored media, of at least one media file corresponding to the received selection on one or both of the television and/or a media player in the second location. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system for communication, the system comprising:
-
one or more circuits operable to store at a first location, media and meta-data corresponding to the stored media; the one or more circuits operable to present, based on the meta-data corresponding to the stored media, a channel guide comprising representations of the stored media on a television in a second location, when the stored media and the meta-data corresponding to the stored media is transferred from the first location to the second location; and in response to receiving a selection via the presented channel guide, the one or more circuits causes displaying based on the meta-data corresponding to the stored media, at least one media file corresponding to the received selection on one or both of the television and/or a media player in the second location. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
