<p>Many types of earpiece include a memory to which media items stored on a second device (114), such as music, audiobooks, and podcasts, may be transferred as requested by a user. However, it may be advantageous to configure the earpiece (202) and/or to fill the memory automatically with media items of predicted interest to the user in the manner of a cache (204). In such earpieces (202), interruption of the connection between the earpiece (202) and the second device (114) does not interrupt a currently streaming media item, and the earpiece (202) is capable of playing additional media items of predicted interest to the user even if the user has not requested transfer to the earpiece (202). Other uses of the cache (204) include adding appointments from a calendar of the second device (114) for presentation by the earpiece (202) as reminders during disconnection, and storing notes on the earpiece (202) that are automatically transferred back to the second device (114).</p> |
