  • Publication number: 20160189232
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques for streaming digital media content, such as music, video, or television content. In accordance with an embodiment, the system includes support for delivery of media content and advertisement or other sponsor-directed content across a connected media environment. Playback can selectively follow a user from one location to another location, or from one media device to another media device, either maintaining a same session or switching sessions depending on the user's location, media device used, and user activity. Playback of advertisement or other sponsor-directed content can be synchronized between different areas of the connected media environment, or between different media devices, for example between a secondary device such as an audio speaker in a particular room, which is being controlled by a primary device such as a smartphone in another room.
