Method and System for Enabling Rendering of Electronic Media Content Via a Secure Ad Hoc Network Configuration Utilizing a Handheld Wireless Communication Device
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a local network including at least one content rendering device; and
a handheld wireless communication device (HWCD) communicatively coupled with the at least one content rendering device, the HWCD configured to;
establish an ad hoc network to access content stored on a remote network device, the ad hoc network including the at least one content rendering device; and
control communication of the accessed content from the remote network device to the at least one content rendering device via the ad hoc network for rendering by the at least one content rendering device.

Abstract
A handheld wireless communication device (HWCD) establishes an ad hoc network comprising interconnected networks for a user. The HWCD gains access to content on a first device and controls communication of the content from the first device via the HWCD to a second device. The HWCD enables the second device to consume the content. The content may be streamed from the first device via the HWCD to the second device. The first device is a service provider network device or other network device. The access may be authenticated and/or secure. Secure access to the content is extended from the first device to the second device. The ad hoc network is configured and/or reconfigured until communication is complete. The HWCD comprises multiple wireless interfaces. The ad hoc network comprises a PAN, WLAN, WAN and/or cellular network. The HWCD may hand-off among base stations during communication of the content.
