Abstract: In one embodiment, media items can be identified as being of interest (i.e., "tagged") as they are being played, and this information can then be sent to a tag aggregator, which aggregates tags from multiple types of devices. The tag aggregator can be located on the same device as a tagging application on which the media items are tagged, or alternatively it can be located on a different device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide various communication techniques for communication between a mobile computing device and an accessory. An accessory protocol that is generic to the mobile computing device can be used for some communication. An application executing at the mobile computing device can communicate with the accessory using an application communication protocol. In some embodiments, the application communication protocol can be different from the accessory communication protocol. In other embodiments the application protocol may only be recognized by the application and the accessory. In some embodiments, messages conforming to an application protocol can be communicated between the application and the accessory by packaging the messages inside a message conforming to the accessory communication protocol.

Abstract: Techniques for facilitating communication between a portable media device PMD (202) and an accessory (204) via multiple communication paths (218, 220, 222). In one set of embodiments, an accessory can be coupled with a PMD via a first connection, thereby establishing a first control communication path. The accessory can send to the PMD, via the first control communication path, an enumeration of the communication paths supported by the accessory. The enumerated communication paths can include control communication paths and data (e.g., audio or video) communication paths. The accessory can further send, to the PMD via the first control communication path, an availability status of each data communication path. In response, the PMD can select, based on a routing policy, one or more of the data communication paths and can notify the accessory of the selected data communication path. The PMD and accessory can then interoperate by exchanging data signals over the selected data communication path.

Abstract translation: 用于经由多个通信路径（218,220,222）促进便携式媒体设备PMD（202）和附件（204）之间的通信的技术。 在一组实施例中，附件可以经由第一连接与PMD耦合，由此建立第一控制通信路径。 附件可以经由第一控制通信路径向PMD发送由附件支持的通信路径的列举。 枚举的通信路径可以包括控制通信路径和数据（例如，音频或视频）通信路径。 附件可以通过第一控制通信路径进一步向PMD发送每个数据通信路径的可用性状态。 作为响应，PMD可以基于路由策略选择一个或多个数据通信路径，并且可以向附件通知所选数据通信路径。 PMD和附件可以通过在所选择的数据通信路径上交换数据信号来进行互操作。

Abstract: A method for identifying an application usable with an accessory is provided. The method includes receiving an accessory identifier associated with the accessory, identifying an application protocol associated with the accessory identifier, identifying an application that supports the application protocol, and providing information about the application to a user device. A method for identifying an accessory usable with an application is also provided. The method includes receiving information about an application, determining an application protocol associated with the application, determining an accessory that supports the application protocol, and providing information about the accessory to a user device.
