First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- transmitting, by a control device and to a peripheral device external to the control device, a first portion of content comprising a first portion of a signal, the signal corresponding to a multimedia presentation characteristic of the peripheral device;
receiving, at the control device and when an adjustment of the signal corresponding to the multimedia presentation characteristic is below an adjustment threshold, a first instance of an input indicating a request to change the multimedia presentation characteristic of the peripheral device;
adjusting, by the control device and in response to receiving the first instance of the input, a second portion of the signal corresponding to the multimedia presentation characteristic, a second portion of the content comprising the second portion of the signal;
transmitting, by the control device and to the peripheral device, and in response to receiving the first instance of the input, the second portion of the content comprising the adjusted second portion of the signal;
receiving, at the control device and when the adjustment of the signal corresponding to the multimedia presentation characteristic is at or above the adjustment threshold, a second instance of the input indicating a request to change the multimedia presentation characteristic of the peripheral device; and
transmitting, by the control device and to the peripheral device, and in response to receiving the second instance of the input, a communication signal to adjust a peripheral device control of an output of the multimedia presentation characteristic of the peripheral device.

12. An electronic device, comprising:
-
a control circuit configured to transmit content to a peripheral device external to the electronic device, the content comprising a signal, the signal corresponding to a multimedia presentation characteristic of the peripheral device; an adjustment module configured to adjust the signal corresponding to the multimedia presentation characteristic; a communication module configured to transmit a control signal to the peripheral device to adjust a peripheral device control of an output of the multimedia presentation characteristic of the peripheral device; and an interface configured to receive an input indicating a request to change the output of the multimedia presentation characteristic of the peripheral device; wherein the control circuit is further configured to; in response to the interface receiving the input when an adjustment of the signal corresponding to the multimedia presentation characteristic is below an adjustment threshold, cause the adjustment module to adjust, before a portion of the content comprising a portion of the signal corresponding to the multimedia presentation characteristic is transmitted, the portion of the signal; and in response to the interface receiving the input when an adjustment of the signal corresponding to the multimedia presentation characteristic is at or above the adjustment threshold, cause the communication module to transmit the control signal to the peripheral device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
