Patent number: 11544313Abstract: A method, computer program product and computing device for selecting at least one playlist for transfer, the at least one playlist being stored on a first personal media device. The at least one playlist is converted to a common format, thus generating a first common format playlist. Communication is established with a second personal media device. The first common format playlist is transferred to the second personal media device.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2019Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Eric N. Klein, Jr., Joshua D. Hug

Publication number: 20220398275Abstract: A method, computer program product and computing device for receiving a request to load at least one new media content item on a personal media device. The size of the at least one new media content item is compared with the amount of storage space remaining on the personal media device to determine if the personal media device has sufficient available storage space. If the personal media device does not have sufficient available storage space, a relative weight associated with at least one old media content item stored on the personal media device is ascertained, the relative weight corresponding to a likelihood that the at least one old media content item will be rendered on the personal media device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2022Publication date: December 15, 2022Inventors: Eric N. Klein, JR., Joshua D. Hug
