Embodiment Construction

[0018] In the user device, it is determined whether an audio port of the user device has been connected. When it is determined that the connection has been completed, the server is instructed to recognize the audio content. Audio content is then received from the server. For example, a smart cell phone may detect that a wired or wireless headset is connected to the smart cell phone. The smart cell phone can then notify the content provider server to identify and / or provide audio content to the device. As a specific example, a content aggregator application may instruct one or more content providers to limit the content provided to the application to audio-only content when the smartphone detects a headset connection. The application can then present only the audio content to the user of the device.

[0019] figure 1 Arrangements in which embodiments of the disclosed subject matter may function are shown. User device 110 may communicate with server 140 . This communicatio...

Abstract

In a user device, a determination may be made as to whether an audio output device has been connected to an audio port of the user device. When it is determined that the connection has been made, instructions may be sent to a server, instructing the server to identify only audio content. The audio content identified by the server may be identified by the server in a manner consistent with preferences of the user. The server may send one or more identifiers of the audio content to a user interface of the user device. A selection of a particular audio content item in the audio content may be received at the user device. The corresponding audio content may be received from the server. The audio content may be output via the audio port of the user device. The determining of whether a connection has been made to an audio port, the instructing of the server by the user device, and receiving may be performed by an aggregator application executing on the user device.

Description

Background technique [0001] Multimedia content is available from various content providers over a network (eg, the Internet). These providers may include, for example, news organizations, entertainment providers, and social media services. Content may take any of several forms and may include text, images, video and / or audio content. [0002] The user may access the content through any of several end-user devices such as desktop computers, laptop computers, tablet computers, smart cell phones, or wearable computing devices. This access can be provided through an application running on the user's device. An application can operate as a content aggregator, wherein various content from various content providers can be accessed through the application's user interface. Using an end-user device executing an aggregator application, a user can read articles from a newspaper's on-line outlet, view pictures associated with those articles, watch video from a local TV station and / or l...
