  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF CONTROLLING MEDIA CONTENT IN A MULTI-ROOM ENVIRONMENT USING A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE
    Publication number: 20200196360
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods for controlling media content with a wireless device in a wireless communication network via a media content streaming device communicatively coupled to an access point in a multi-room environment. Users associated with client computing platforms may obtain authentication to the wireless communication network via the access point. Upon gaining access to wireless communication network, users may be able to access the Internet using their client computing platforms. Users may be able to effectuate a wireless data communication session between their client computing platforms and media content streaming devices. Users may be able to control the media content streamed by the media content streaming device onto a media content display device. The access point may be connected to the media content streaming device via a dongle-type connector. Associations between media content streaming devices and client computing platforms may be maintained.
