Embodiment Construction

[0036]Media guidance functionality may be provided on wireless communication devices such as PDAs, smartphones, portable video players, portable music players, portable game consoles, or other wireless devices. Media can be coordinated between a wireless communication device and one or more user equipment devices such as televisions, set-top boxes, DVD players / recorders, Blu-ray players / recorders, DVRs, media servers, security cameras, GPS navigation units, etc. boot function. Providing media guidance applications on wireless communication devices is discussed in more detail in, for example, US Patent Application No. 12 / 495,522, filed June 30, 2009 by Chiu et al., which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

[0037] In some embodiments, wireless communication device 406 may be used to provide enhanced viewing options, such as multilingual support. One example of the type of media guidance functionality that may be provided on the wireless communication device 4...

Abstract

A wireless communications device provides users with opportunities to access interactive media guidance or other applications and to control user equipment and interactive media guidance applications. In an exemplary embodiment, if the wireless communications device goes outside of a predetermined range from the user equipment, content that was playing on user equipment may automatically be streamed to the wireless communications device. In another exemplary embodiment, users can play a program with subtitles in one language on user equipment while simultaneously playing the same program with subtitles in another language on the wireless communications device. In yet another exemplary embodiment, users can access a surfing guide application which allows browsing of screenshots of programs playing on broadcast channels on the wireless communications device.

Description

[0001] References to related applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Patent Application Nos. 12 / 652,569, 12 / 652,571 and 12 / 652,572, filed January 5, 2010, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Background technique [0003] The present invention relates to interactive application systems, and more particularly, to interactive media guidance application systems in which media guidance application functionality can be provided by a wireless communication device or media can be coordinated between the wireless communication device and one or more user equipment devices Bootstrap app functionality. [0004] Interactive applications are typically implemented at least in part on user equipment (eg, set-top boxes). Examples of interactive applications include interactive program guides, electronic mail, home shopping, gaming and other electronic commerce applications, financial applications, web browsers, games and other user device b...
