摘要： Methods of operating a portable media device 100 including two onboard hardware media decoders (124, 128) operative to decode a given digital content item 148 are disclosed. In some embodiments, one of the onboard hardware media decoders 128 has a relatively high power consumption and produces a relatively ‘high quality’ media signal, and the other of the onboard hardware media decoder 124 has a relatively low power consumption and produces a relatively ‘low quality’ media signal. In one non-limiting use case: (i) when no external power is available, the relatively ‘low power’ hardware media decoder 124 may generate a relatively ‘low quality’ media signal which is presented on an onboard display screen 140a and/or onboard speaker 140b; and (ii) when external power is available, the relatively ‘high power’ hardware media decoder 128 may generate a relatively ‘high quality’ media signal which is exported out of the portable media device 100 via one or more media ports, and presented on an external host presentation device 160 (for example, a large-screen television).

摘要： A portable data storage device (dongle) is configured to serve as a joystick. A method and system are supplied for using the dongle joystick to modify the presentation of an a electric media content item over a host and for using the dongle joystick as a user input interface to select a content item to be presented over a host or to select a datum to be stored. One portion of the dongle joystick is connected to the host and held stationary while a user imposes a force on a second part of the joystick to select and play content. The dongle joystick may include a processor to process output into a format compatible with a legacy playing device host.

摘要： Files stored, or to be stored, in a storage device are marked either as non-discardable or as discardable in a file system structure associated with a storage device. Each discardable file has associated with it a discarding priority level. A publisher file is permitted to be stored in the storage device only if storing the publisher file does not narrow a storage usage safety margin that is reserved for user files. User files are allowed to be stored in the storage device even if storing them narrows the storage usage safety margin but, in such cases, the storage usage safety margin is restored by removing one or more discardable files from the storage device. A discardable file is removed from the storage device if its discarding priority level equals or is higher than a predetermined discarding threshold value.

摘要翻译： 存储或存储在存储设备中的文件在与存储设备相关联的文件系统结构中被标记为不可丢弃或可丢弃的。 每个可丢弃的文件都与丢弃优先级相关联。 仅当存储发布者文件不缩小为用户文件保留的存储使用安全裕度时，才允许发布者文件存储在存储设备中。 允许用户文件存储在存储设备中，即使存储它们缩小了存储使用安全裕度，但是在这种情况下，通过从存储设备中移除一个或多个可丢弃的文件来恢复存储使用安全裕度。 如果其丢弃优先级等于或高于预定丢弃阈值，则从存储设备中移除可丢弃的文件。

摘要： A portable digital content device and methods for use therewith are disclosed. In one embodiment, a portable digital content device and method are disclosed for tracking usage activity to support digital asset management in a mobile environment. In another embodiment, an offline/disconnected advertisement inventory management and advertisement decision system and method are disclosed. While these systems and methods can be used with any suitable portable digital content device, an exemplary portable digital content device is disclosed, which can be used for purposes in addition to or instead of implementing the usage activity tracking and advertisement decision system functions. Any of the embodiments described herein can be used alone or in combination.

摘要： The present disclosure relates to a portable digital media player, and in particular to a portable digital media player device having specific mechanical properties. In some embodiments, the portable digital media player includes a device port that is configured as a supportive port. In some embodiments, the device port is a plug. In some embodiments, a volume ratio between a minimally circumscribing rectangular prism of the digital media player and a minimally circumscribing rectangular prism of the plug is at most 10:1, or at most 5:1. In some embodiments, a media system is provided where the digital media player is mated with the host presentation device. In some embodiments, the media system provides certain mechanical properties.

摘要： A portable storage device having a memory and a wireless remote control receiver is equipped for connection to a digital content player, which is controllable by a wireless remote control transmitter. The memory stores digital content data. The remote control transmitter communicates with the remote control receiver to play the digital content data on the digital content player. Accordingly, an additional remote control transmitter is not necessary for the remote control playing of digital content data residing on the portable storage device. The digital content data may be loaded from an external source, such as a personal computer. The personal computer can also be controlled to play the digital content data by using remote control transmitter using a known protocol. Thus, a user wishing to play the digital content data stored in the portable storage device does not need to acquire an additional specially-matched remote control transmitter.
