Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for selecting an end-user device from a plurality of end-user devices to satisfy a user request. The method comprises storing at a portal aggregator data identifying a user device group comprising a plurality of end-user devices, wherein the data identifying the device group comprises the capabilities of each end-user device. When the portal aggregator receives a request from the user the portal aggregator generates a list of end-user devices from the device group that are capable of satisfying the user request. The portal aggregator then selects an end-user device from the list of capable end-user devices and then transmits a command to the selected end-user device to satisfy the request. In some cases the list of capable end-user devices may be sorted and/or filtered prior to selecting an end-user device from the list.

Abstract: Methods and systems according to the disclosure are for obtaining information for a music track on a radio broadcast and may include storing track information received from an information service in a data storage module. When an intermediary server receives a request from an end-user device for information for a particular music track playing on a particular radio broadcast signal, the server first checks the data storage module to determine if it has music track information for the particular music track. If so, the server provides that music track information to the end-user device. The intermediary server may be configured to automatically and preemptively request information from the music information service each time a new music track is played on a radio broadcast signal. The intermediary server may be configured to request information from the music information service the first time it receives a request for that particular music track.
