Method and system for seamless navigation of content across different devices
First Claim
1. A device for rendering content, said device comprising:
- one or more processors and/or circuits in said device communicably coupled to a server, wherein said one or more processors and/or circuits are operable to;
generate status information corresponding to first content being rendered based on said device navigating from said first content to second content;
communicate said generated status information to said server; and
render said second content based on metadata associated with status information of said second content,wherein, in an event said device navigates to said first content from said second content, based on said generated status information corresponding to said first content, said device renders said first content.

Abstract
Certain aspects of a system and method for seamless navigation of content between different devices may include one or more devices communicably coupled to one or more servers through a communication network. The devices are capable of rendering content. The device generates the status information corresponding to the first content and communicates the status information to a server when the device navigates from the first content and/or to a second content. The device can render the second content based on a metadata associated with the second content received from the server. The server generates a metadata associated the first content based on the status information received from the device. The server saves the metadata associated with the first content. The server communicates the metadata associated with the first content to a device when the first content has to be rendered in the device.

16. A method for rendering content, said method comprising:
in a device communicably coupled to a server; generating status information corresponding to first content being rendered based on said device navigating from said first content to second content; communicating said generated status information to said server; and rendering said second content based on metadata associated with status information of said second content, wherein, in an event said device navigates to said first content from said second content, based on said generated status information corresponding to said first content, rendering said first content. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A system comprising:
-
in a network comprising one or more devices coupled to a server, wherein at least one of said one or more devices comprises; a first processor operable to; generate first status information corresponding to first content being rendered based on said at least one of said one or more devices navigating said first content; communicate said generated first status information to said server; and wherein said server comprises; a second processor operable to; generate a first metadata based on said first status information associated with said first content; and communicate said first metadata to at least one of other of said one or more devices, wherein said first content is rendered on said at least one of other of said one or more devices based on said first metadata. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37)

38. A server in a network, said server comprising:
-
one or more processors and/or circuits communicatively coupled to a plurality of devices, wherein said one or more processors and/or circuits are operable to; generate metadata associated with first content based on received status information corresponding to said first content, wherein said status information is received from a device of said plurality of devices based on said device navigating from said first content to second content; and communicate said metadata to said device of said plurality of devices, wherein, in an event said device of said plurality of devices navigates to said first content from said second content, based on said generated status information corresponding to said first content, said device renders said first content. - View Dependent Claims (39, 40, 41, 42)
