The Patent Description & Claims data below is from USPTO Patent Application 20090163139, Apparatus and method of mobile media presentation docking station for portable electronic device.

What is claimed is:

1. A portable electronic device; said device comprising: a wireless receiver configured to receive wireless content; a communication interface configured to interface to a docking station having at least one connected media presentation host device; and content reproduction circuitry; wherein said content reproduction circuitry is configured to determine a format required by said media presentation host device and stream said content to said host device through said communication interface in said format.

2. The portable electronic device of claim 1, wherein said portable electronic device further comprises circuitry configured to detect a connection to said media presentation host device.

3. The portable electronic device of claim 1, further comprising a wireless transmitter configured to communicate with a source of said wireless content.

4. The portable electronic device of claim 1, further comprising a display screen.

5. The portable electronic device of claim 4, wherein said content reproduction circuitry is further configured to reproduce said content on said display screen when said portable electronic device is not connected to said docking station.

6. The portable electronic device of claim 1, wherein said reproduction circuitry is further configured to convert said wireless content from a first format into said format required by said media presentation host device.

7. The portable electronic device of claim 1, wherein said format required by said media presentation host device is selected from the group consisting of: television broadcast formats, radio broadcast formats, high-definition video formats, high-definition audio formats, conventional analog video formats, conventional analog audio formats, streaming video formats, and combinations and derivatives thereof.

8. A system of mobile media presentation, comprising: a remote content provider; and a portable electronic device in wireless communication with said remote content provider; wherein said portable electronic device is configured to receive content from said remote content provider of a first resolution when transmitting said content to a media presentation host device, and of a second resolution when not transmitting said content to a media presentation host device.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein said remote personal electronic comprises a media reproduction apparatus selected from the group consisting of: display screens, speakers, and combinations thereof.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein said portable electronic device is configured to reproduce said content on said display screen when not transmitting said content to said media presentation host device.

11. The system of claim 8, wherein said portable electronic device comprises interface circuitry configured to selectively connect with a docking station; wherein said docking station is in communication with said media presentation host device.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein said interface circuitry is further configured to detect a connection to said docking station and retrieve resolution information from media presentation host device upon said detection.

13. The system of claim 8, wherein said portable electronic device is configured to transmit a request to said remote content provider to change said resolution of said content upon detecting a change in connection status of said docking station.

14. The system of claim 8, wherein said first and second formats are selected from the group consisting of: television broadcast formats, radio broadcast formats, high-definition video formats, high-definition audio formats, conventional analog video formats, conventional analog audio formats, streaming video formats, and combinations and derivatives thereof.

15. A method of mobile media presentation, said method comprising: streaming digital content having a first format to a portable electronic device; receiving an indication that said portable electronic device has been connected to a docking station; and streaming digital content to said portable electronic device in a second format.

16. The method of claim 15, further comprising receiving an indication from said portable electronic device of a desired resolution.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein said digital content is streamed to said portable electronic device in said second format at said desired resolution.

18. The method of claim 15, wherein said second resolution is higher than said first resolution.

19. The method of claim 15, wherein said second format comprises a desired content protocol indicated by said portable electronic device.

20. The method of claim 15, wherein said method further comprises: receiving an indication that said portable electronic device has been disconnected from said docking station; and resuming streaming digital content to said portable electronic device at said first resolution.
