Patent number: 8522299Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or method that manages media content. The disclosed system includes a component that synchronizes with a multimedia player that is in communication with the component. The component upon synchronization automatically determines an amount of storage space available on the handheld device and based at least in part on this available space, the component substitutes a first media presentation persisted on the storage space with a second media presentation retrieved from a media storage farm.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2007Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Curtis G. Wong, Dale A. Sather, Kenneth Reneris, Thaddeus C. Pritchett, Behrooz Chitsaz, Talal Ali Batrouny

Patent number: 7941516Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or method that manages storage media associated with a plurality of disparate devices. The disclosed system can include a network of disparate devices wherein each device in the network can be associated with storage media. Additionally, the disclosed system can also include a component that identifies each device in the network, associates a likelihood that the device will periodically leave or rejoin the network, and utilizes the associated likelihood to construct a logical redundant pile of inexpensive disks comprising the storage media associated with the disparate devices.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2007Date of Patent: May 10, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Curtis G. Wong, Dale A. Sather, Kenneth Reneris, Thaddeus C. Pritchett, Talal Ali Batrouny
