CPC Class H04W

An apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a communication unit configured to communicate with a first electronic device, and a control unit operatively coupled with the communication unit, the control unit configured to receive, from the first electronic device via the communication unit, information associated with a playback location of multimedia data, the multimedia data to be presented at a second electronic device operatively coupled with the apparatus, based at least in part on the information, and transmit at least one portion of the multimedia data, to the second electronic device.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses related to an intelligent remote control device are described. A remote control device may control a device located at a premises via a remote computing device. Various communications may facilitate the control.

A dynamic time window and cache method under the heterogeneous network transmission is provided, including adding Available_Time and Asset_Size attributes of the media content in the signaling or other places for the existing signaling at a MMT, so that the client terminal gets the time when the corresponding media content is available and the size of the media content; at the same time determining the network bandwidth and the network delay of the content from the broadband to the client under the current broadband network by the client; wherein the client terminal calculates the time interval for transmitting a request for caching in advance and the size of a cache window required by the terminal through the available time of the content of a broadband source and the delay of a broadband channel.

A terminal device including a transmitter and circuitry. The circuitry is configured to detect a relay device accessible to the terminal device via a communication network, reproduce content, control the transmitter to transmit the content to the relay device via the communication network, generate a request for the relay device to send a query in accordance with the content to one or more of a plurality of servers, control the transmitter to transmit the request to the relay device via the communication network, and acquire a response to the request. The response is received via the communication network from the relay device and includes information from the one or more of the plurality of servers responsive to the query. The circuitry is configured to acquire, responsive to the acquired response, an application. Further, the circuitry is configured to execute the application to display additional information corresponding to the content.

User interfaces associated with devices and applications for distributing digital media content are described. A user interface may be provided that includes a favorites selection button allowing a user to identify selected media tracks and/or associated artists to be played more frequently. A ban selection button may be also provided allowing a user to selectively ban media tracks and/or associated artists. Additional controls may be provided including controls and interfaces for creating user customized stations to customize content delivery based on user specified preferences stored in a user profile.

Technologies for managing partially synchronized writes include a managed node. The managed node is to issue a write request to write a data block, on behalf of a workload, to multiple data storage devices connected to a network, pause execution of the workload, receive an initial acknowledgment associated with one of the multiple data storage devices, wherein the initial acknowledgement is indicative of successful storage of the data block, and resume execution of the workload after receipt of the initial acknowledgement and before receipt of subsequent acknowledgements associated with any of the other data storage devices. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may determine that a security context with a network node has been established for more than a threshold time period. The UE may identify, based on a key hierarchy, a parent network node associated with the network node. The UE may transmit a key refresh request message to the parent network node to trigger a key refresh procedure between the parent network node and the network node. The UE may perform a procedure with the network node to establish a new security context based on the key refresh procedure.
