  • Publication number: 20220353312
    Abstract: A first electronic device, while a first media content item of a first type is playing back on a second electronic device, detects a user input selecting a second media content item. In response to the user input, the electronic device determines a type of media content item of the selected second media content item. In accordance with a determination that the second media content item is of the first type of media content item, the first electronic device generates a media control request for controlling playback of the second media content item at the second electronic device, and in accordance with a determination that the second media content item is of a second type of media content item, the first electronic device generates a media control request for controlling playback of the second media content item at a third electronic device that is distinct from the second electronic device.

  • Patent number: 11343295
    Abstract: An electronic device includes one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs. The one or more programs include instructions for presenting, on a first playback component coupled with the electronic device, a first media content item and receiving an input to preview a second media content item. The one or more programs include instructions for, in accordance with a determination that the electronic device is in a first mode of operation, while the first media content item is presented on the first playback component, presenting a preview of the second media content item on a second playback component. The one or more programs include instructions for, in accordance with a determination that the electronic device is not in the first mode of operation: ceasing presentation of the first media content item and presenting the preview of the second media content item.

  • Patent number: 9319445
    Abstract: An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device includes a display, one or more processors, memory, and one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors. The one or more programs include instructions for detecting a display change associated with media content item represented on a display, transmitting a request (e.g., to a server) for at least a portion of the media content item, receiving the requested portion of the media content item, storing the received portion of the media content item in a local cache, receiving a user input indicative of the selection of the media content item, and presenting the received portion of the media content item in response to receiving the user input indicative of the selection of the media content item.

  • Patent number: 8533965
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for measuring and alignment of a first component (2, 4) and a second component (3, 5) in relation to each other, where the device comprises a first detector unit (6) disposed to be mounted on the first component (2, 4) and a second detector unit (7) disposed to be mounted on the second component (3, 5) as well as a control unit (12) which is connected to the first detector unit (6) and the second detector unit (7). The device (1) comprises a first geometric pattern (16) disposed on the first detector unit (6) and a second geometric pattern disposed on the second detector unit (7). The position of the first geometric pattern (16) can be detected by the second detector unit (7) and the position of the second geometric pattern can be detected by the first detector unit (6). The invention also relates to a method for aligning a first component (2, 4) and a second component (3, 5).

  • Patent number: 6931738
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for alignment of a first component (1) and a second component (2) in a predetermined relation to each other, comprising a transmitter unit (7) arranged for mounting on said first component (1) and comprising a light source (9) for the generation of light radiation (10) with a predetermined pattern in the direction towards a receiver unit (11; 11?, 22, 27; 27?) arranged for mounting on said second component (2), where the receiver unit (11; 11?) comprises a detection device (18a, 18b; 18a?, 18b? 23a, 23b; 28a, 28b; 28?a, 28?b) for said light radiation (10). The invention is characterised in that said detector device (18a, 18b; 18a?, 18b?, 23a, 23b; 28a, 28b, 28?a, 28?b) comprises a first detector (18a, 18a? 23a; 28a; 28a?) and a second detector (18b; 18b? 23b; 28b; 28?b), respectively, which are separated depthwise in relation to said transmitter unit (7).
