  • Media context switching between devices using wireless communications channels
    Patent number: 11537357
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and/or devices for media context switching among electronic devices are described herein. In one aspect, a method is performed at a first electronic device. A first media item is played. While playing the first media item, a near-field-communication (NFC) channel is established with a second electronic device while the second electronic device is playing a second media item. First contextual data of the first electronic device is transferred via the NFC channel to the second electronic device, wherein the first contextual data corresponds to the first media item. A playback command for the second media item is received. In response to receiving the playback command for the second media item, the first electronic device plays the second media item.

  • Media context switching between devices using wireless communications channels
    Patent number: 10884697
    Abstract: While playing a first media item, a device establishes a first wireless communication channel with a second electronic device while the second electronic device is playing a second media item. The device receives, from the second electronic device, second contextual data of the second electronic device via the first wireless communication channel. The second context data corresponds to the second media item. The device receives a playback command for the second media item played at the second electronic device. In response, the device automatically plays the second media item without additional user input at the device. The device establishes a second wireless communication channel with a third electronic device; receives, from the third electronic device, third contextual data corresponding to a third media item; and, in response, queues the third media item to be played after playing the second media item at the first electronic device.
