System and methods for preventing interruptions due to battery drain during streaming media sessions between devices
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- determining, by a processor, a duration of remaining battery power for a first electronic device;
determining, by the processor, a duration of remaining media content scheduled to be played on the first electronic device;
determining, by the processor, whether the duration of remaining media content scheduled to be played on the first electronic device exceeds the duration of remaining battery power for the first electronic device; and
in response to determining that the duration of remaining media content scheduled to be played on the first electronic device exceeds the duration of remaining battery power for the first electronic device, facilitating, by the processor, the transmission of the remaining media content scheduled to be played on the first electronic device to a second electronic device for playing on the second electronic device.

Abstract
A cloud server intermediates in a streaming media session from a source to a receiving device for a media content. Upon determining that time remaining to complete the streaming media session for the media content is greater than time of remaining battery power for the source, the cloud server redirects the streaming media session to the receiving device. The cloud server may detect that the remaining source battery power is below a threshold and obtain a compressed data file, compressing at least a remaining portion of the media content in response to determining that time remaining to complete the streaming media session is greater than time of remaining battery power for the source. The cloud server may send or receive a pointer along with the compressed data file that indicates a position within the media content at which to resume the streaming media session.

8. A computing system comprising:
-
memory comprising executable instructions; and a processor operatively connected to the memory, the processor configured to execute the executable instructions in order to effectuate a method comprising; determining a duration of remaining battery power for a first electronic device; determining a duration of remaining media content scheduled to be played on the first electronic device; determining whether the duration of remaining media content scheduled to be played on the first electronic device exceeds the duration of remaining battery power for the first electronic device; and in response to determining that the duration of remaining media content scheduled to be played on the first electronic device exceeds the duration of remaining battery power for the first electronic device, facilitating the transmission of the remaining media content scheduled to be played on the first electronic device to a second electronic device for playing on the second electronic device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising executable instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to effectuate a method comprising:
-
determining a duration of remaining battery power for a first electronic device; determining a duration of remaining media content scheduled to be played on the first electronic device; determining whether the duration of remaining media content scheduled to be played on the first electronic device exceeds the duration of remaining battery power for the first electronic device; and in response to determining that the duration of remaining media content scheduled to be played on the first electronic device exceeds the duration of remaining battery power for the first electronic device, facilitating the transmission of the remaining media content scheduled to be played on the first electronic device to a second electronic device for playing on the second electronic device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
