Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for managing playback of digital content on two or more different playback devices. A playback device designated as a controller is associated with a playback device designated as a playback target. Association is implemented via a local network discovery protocol. The controller issues commands to the target, which then streams digital content directly from a content server. The controller is able to separately stream related digital content for independent, but synchronized playback. Server mediated operations, such as device activation and application installation, are advantageously enabled by explicit association between the controller and the target.

Abstract translation: 本发明的一个实施例提出了一种用于管理在两个或多个不同播放设备上的数字内容的回放的技术。 被指定为控制器的播放装置与被指定为播放目标的播放装置相关联。 协会通过本地网络发现协议实现。 控制器向目标器发出命令，然后直接从内容服务器流式传输数字内容。 控制器能够独立流式传输相关的数字内容，用于独立但同步的播放。 服务器介入的操作（如设备激活和应用程序安装）有利地通过控制器和目标之间的明确关联来实现。
