1. A method, comprising:
- processing, by a computing device at a first location, a fling request to send stored content to a rendering device at the first location;
determining content quality to transmit to the rendering device based at least on a desired transmission path between a storage location of the stored content and the rendering device;
transforming the requested content to the determined content quality; and
transmitting, to the rendering device via the desired transmission path, the transformed content.

Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure relate to a content (e.g., media) transfer or fling platform or system and method in which content may be sent, transferred, or flung from an electronic device to an output device via a rendering device. The content may be transformed (e.g., processed) to meet a content quality based on network conditions and output device capabilities. The media may be stored locally in the electronic device or in a network attached storage or remote from the electronic device. Content stored remotely from the electronic device may also be flung under control of the electronic device.

16. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, from a computing device at a first premises, a request to send content to a rendering device at the first premises; determining if the content is stored remote from the computing device; in response to determining that the content is stored remotely, identifying a remote storage device storing the content; determining a transmission path for the content from the remote storage device to the rendering device; and determining content quality of the content to transmit to the rendering device based on the transmission path and output device information. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a computing device, user input to view a first content item; in response to receiving the user input to view the first content item, presenting the first content item on the computing device and determining whether the first content item is cached; and in response to determining that the first content item is cached, transmitting a fling request to a rendering device, the fling request comprising an identifier of the first content item. - View Dependent Claims (20)
