Portable content container displaying A/V files in response to a command received from a consumer device
First Claim
1. A media playback device comprising:
- a first interface configured to communicate with a media output device;
a second interface configured to communicate with a data storage device, the data storage device (DSD) comprising;
a storage medium configured to store one or more media files; and
a decoder operable to decode a media file into an media stream;
control circuitry configured to;
receive information identifying the one or more media files from the DSD over the second interface;
generate a user interface for the media output device, the user interface identifying at least one or more of the media files;
transmit the user interface to the media output device over the first interface;
receive a play command from a user to play a selected one of the at least one or more of the media files; and
transmit the play command over the second interface to the DSD to stream the selected media file on the media output device, wherein the media stream from the DSD bypasses the media playback device.

Abstract
In an embodiment, a media playback device is disclosed comprising a first interface configured to communicate with a media output device, a second interface configured to communicate with a data storage device, and control circuitry. In one embodiment, the control circuitry is configured to receive information identifying media files from a data storage device (DSD) over the second interface; generate a user interface for the media output device, the user interface identifying at least one of the media files; transmit the user interface to the media output device over the first interface; receive a play command from a user to play a selected media file; and transmit the play command over the second interface to the DSD to stream the selected media file on the media output device, wherein the media stream from the DSD bypasses the media playback device.
