[0014] overview

[0015] Multi-device media exchange is described, and the features enable a user to switch between multiple video content items displayed on multiple devices while minimizing latency to request media exchange. Different devices may receive multiple items of video content through one or a combination of various techniques, which are described in more detail below. Based on the way multiple video content items are received at different devices, different techniques can be used, from the first video content Switch to the second video content.

[0016] In terms of multi-device media exchange, a mobile device implemented as a first screen device in a video content viewing system displays first video content on the device's integrated display and receives second video content without displaying the second video content. While receiving and displaying the first video content, the first screen device continues to receive the second video content without displaying t...

Abstract

In aspects of multiple-device media swap, a mobile device in a video content viewing system displays first video content on an integrated display of the device, and receives second video content without displaying the second video content. The mobile device continues to receive the second video content, without displaying the second video content, while the first video content is received and presented. The mobile device can initiate an instruction to swap from displaying the first video content to displaying the second video content on the integrated display of the mobile device. The instruction also initiates another device of the video content viewing system that is receiving both the first and second video content to swap from displaying the second video content to displaying the firstvideo content.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates generally to streaming video content, and switching between items of video content displayed on multiple devices. Background technique [0002] Content streaming is becoming more and more common. Mobile devices, display devices, and other computing devices are rapidly evolving to accommodate users' demands for streaming content on their devices. As this technology improves, users may wish to stream multiple content items on one device, or stream multiple content items on multiple different devices. For example, a user may wish to switch between two close football games near the end of each game. However, current technology only allows a single stream of content on a device. To switch to a different content stream, a request for new content is sent through the router to the server, and then the new content is sent back through the router to the requesting device. The requesting device then buffers the new content stre...
