Abstract

The present disclosure provides a device, system and method to present electronic content on a first mobile electronic device in communication and configured to receive electronic content from a second electronic device.

Claims

1. A system for presenting electronic content, comprising:

a first mobile electronic device having a first processor, a first short-range communications subsystem coupled to the first processor, one or more navigation elements, and a first display coupled to the first processor, wherein the first display is of a size suitable for viewing and navigating through visual content played by a user on the first mobile electronic device; and

a second mobile electronic device having a second processor, a second short-range communications subsystem coupled to the second processor, a long-range communications subsystem coupled to the second processor, and a second display coupled to the second processor, wherein a short-range wireless connection is established between the first and second short-range communications subsystems of the first and second mobile electronic devices and the coupling of the first and second short-range communications subsystems via the short-range wireless connection creates a personal area network (PAN) between the first and second mobile electronic devices;

wherein the second mobile electronic device presents a list of a plurality of navigable, selectable electronic-content-items available for downloading to the first mobile electronic device,

wherein in response to a request for one or more selected electronic-content-items received by the second mobile electronic device, the second mobile electronic device retrieves the one or more selected electronic-content-items and the second short-range communications subsystem of the second mobile electronic device transmits the one or more selected electronic-content-items to the first mobile electronic device via the short-range wireless connection, the one or more selected electronic-content-items if visual are playable or viewable on the first display of the first mobile electronic device, and the one or more navigation elements of the first mobile electronic device are operable to navigate through content of the one or more selected electronic-content-items,

wherein the first short-range communications subsystem of the first mobile electronic device is operable to transmit a first electronic contact list to the second mobile electronic device via the short-range wireless connection, wherein the first electronic contact list is an updated list of electronic content stored on the first mobile electronic device, and

wherein the second short-range communications subsystem of the second mobile electronic device transmits a second electronic contact list to the first mobile electronic device via the short-range wireless connection, wherein the second electronic contact list is an updated list of electronic content stored on the second mobile electronic device.
