SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MULTI-PATH CONTROL SIGNALS FOR MEDIA PRESENTATION DEVICES

摘要

A method for controlling media presentation is disclosed. A first electronic device (102-1) receives a media control command for a second electronic device (106-1). In response to receiving said command, the first electronic device (102-1) sends a server media control request (112) to a server system (120), and sends a local media control request (116) to a second electronic device (106-1) within a local network (202) to which both the first electronic device (102-1) and the second electronic device (106-1) are connected. The server system (120) may be associated with an IP address outside an IP address space of the local network (202). The first electronic device (102-1) and the second electronic device (106-1) may be associated with IP addresses within the same subnetwork (202).
