Abstract: A portable wireless media server device provides a local Wi-Fi or Bluetooth network connection to groups of people via their mobile telephones or other portable devices having media playback capability. The media server device provides three different mechanisms for automatically delivering audio/video media to mobile telephones. A BLUETOOTH pairing automatically pushes media files to a connected device, a Wi-Fi connection responds to DNS requests from a browser by pushing a media selection application from the media server device to the connected device that may also provide selection for download of an application package such as a Bible reader. A micro-SD card programming feature transfers media automatically to an inserted micro-SD card and optionally locks the card, preventing re-use for unintended purposes.

Abstract: A media player device having an integrated ground-illuminating flashlight provides hands-free ground illumination while walking. The media player device includes a lanyard attached to a first end of a housing, a first lamp located at a second end of the housing for use as an ordinary flashlight, and a second lamp located on a front side of the housing and directed at an acute angle from the housing toward the second end of the housing, so that the ground in front of a wearer of the media player device is illuminated. A speaker for reproducing the audio generated by the media player device may also be located on the front of the housing to provide audibility of the playback audio, or may alternatively be located on the first end or side of the housing. Controls are provided on the front or side of the housing to provide easy access when wearing the device.
