MOBILE DEVICE CONTROL OF MOBILE TELEVISION BROADCAST SIGNALS TO ALTERNATE DESTINATIONS

摘要

A portable mobile communications device for altering the destination of mobile television programs broadcast by a mobile television service provider includes a mobile television device, a processor running a mobile television redirect application communicable with the mobile television service provider, and a user interface for controlling the mobile television device and the mobile television redirect application such that mobile television broadcast programs can be redirected to an alternate device at higher definitions in response to input received by the user interface and sent to the mobile television service provider. The alternate device can include a home media server or a computer coupled to and communicable with the mobile television service provider via the Internet.
