Multiple media device infrastructure

摘要

Described herein are systems and methods for automatically discovering services available between two or more media devices. These services may be configured to provide content for presentation, present content, and so forth. Once discovered, connections may be established between the media devices. These connections may be used to control or deliver content using the services. The discovery, establishment of the connections, or both may occur automatically without user intervention.

1. A computer-implemented method for utilizing devices of a computerized system to present content, the computer-implemented method comprising:
activating a service module configured to provide a function associated with presentation of the content on a media device; providing, to a discovery manager module, a service description object indicative of the activated service module; based at least in part on the service description object, activating a device explorer module configured to send or receive device object data from the media device; activating a transport module associated with the device explorer module; generating a route map based at least in part on data acquired by the device explorer module; based at least in part on the route map, determining transport data indicative of routing information associated with the media device; establishing a connection with the media device based at least in part on the transport data; and sending, via the established connection, information associated with the functions provided by the service module to present the content on the media device.
