Abstract

The present invention relates to a system for media content delivery to a media destination device of a plurality of media destinations devices. The media content delivery is based on an input of an input reception device where based on the input the media content is selected. The system for media content delivery further comprises an associating device that is adapted to associate the input reception device with at least one media destination device of a plurality of media destination devices.

Claims

1. System for media content delivery to a media destination device (DD1) of a plurality of media destinations devices (DD1, DD2, DD3) based on an input of an input reception device (IRD), said input selecting said media content, CHARACTERISED IN THAT said system for media content delivery further comprises:

a. an associating device (AD), adapted to associate said input reception device (IRD) with at least one media destination device (DD1) of a plurality of media destination devices (DD1, DD2, DD3).

2. System for media content delivery according to claim 1 CHARACTERISED IN THAT said system for media content delivery further comprises:

b. a media delivery device (MDD), adapted to deliver said media content to said at least one media destination device (DD1) based on said association between said input reception device and said at least one media destination device (DD1).

3. Input reception device (IRD) for receiving an input for selecting media of a media delivery device (MDD) said media delivery device (MDD) being adapted to provision said media to a destination device of a plurality of destination devices, CHARACTERISED IN THAT said Input reception device (IRD) comprises a input forwarding part (IFP), adapted to forward said input to an associating device, adapted to hold an association between said input reception device and at least one destination device of a plurality of destination devices.

8. User terminal comprising input reception device according to claim 3.

9. User terminal according to claim 8, CHARACTERISED IN THAT said user terminal is a mobile phone.

10. User terminal according to claim 8, CHARACTERISED IN THAT said user input reception device is tag reader.

11. User terminal according to claim 8, CHARACTERISED IN THAT said user input reception device is an RFID reader.

4. Association device (AD) for use in a system for media content delivery to a media destination device (DD1) of a plurality of media destination devices (DD1, DD2, DD3) based on an input of an input reception device (IRD) in said system, said association device (AD) having a association part (AP), adapted to associate said input reception device (IRD) with at least one media destination device (DD1) of a plurality of media destination devices (DD1, DD2, DD3).

5. Association device (AD) according to claim 4, wherein said association device (AD) further comprises an association forwarding part (AFP), adapted to forward said association of said input reception device (IRD) with said at least one media destination device (DD1) towards a media delivery device (MDP) for provisioning said media to each of said at least one media destination device (DD1) by said media delivery part (MDP).

6. Media delivery device (MDD), for use in a system for media content delivery to a media destination device (DD1) of a plurality of media destinations devices (DD1, DD2, DD3) based on an input of an input reception device (IRD) in said system, said input identifying said media content, CHARACTERISED IN THAT said media delivery device (MDD) comprises a destination determination part (DDP), adapted to determine said at least one at least one destination device (DD1) of said plurality of destinations devices (DD1, DD2, DD3) from an association of said input reception device with said at least one media destination device (DD1) of a plurality of media destination devices (DD1, DD2, DD3) for provisioning said media content to said at least one destination device (DD1).

7. Media delivery device (MDD) according to claim 6, CHARACTERISED IN THAT said Media delivery device (MDD) further comprises a media provisoning part (MPP), adapted to provision said media content to each of said at least one destination device (DD1) . . . .
