Abstract: A multi-node media content distribution system is incorporated in portable slave node media content reproduction devices for sharing video, music, photo or any other media content files with other portable slave node media content reproduction devices wirelessly. The multi-node media content distribution system includes media content reproduction devices wirelessly configured as a network. One of the media content reproduction devices is designated as a master controller node media content reproduction device and provides the media content files to the network as a server. All remaining media content reproduction devices are slave nodes to the master controller node media content reproduction device to receive the media content files. The master controller node media content reproduction device encrypts the media content files with a unique encryption key that is known only to the member slave.

Abstract: A wireless network system includes a wireless master control hub in communication with a personal computer and provides a control protocol to human interface devices for communication to request and receive command messages, control messages, and data from the personal computer. Slave human interface devices controllers are associated with one of the human interface devices to provide translation of command or data information from the associated human interface device to the wireless control hub. The wireless control hub generates a synchronization signal to allow any of the human interface devices to permit communication between each of the human interface devices and the wireless control hub. The wireless control hub generates a receiving and transmitting time slot assignment signal for each of the human interface devices for a communication frame for communicating file requests and data between the personal computer and the human interface devices.
