Proximity and interface controls of media devices for media presentations

Abstract

Embodiments relate generally to electrical/electronic hardware, computer software, wired and wireless network communications, portable, wearable, and stationary media devices. RF transceivers and/or audio system in each media device may be used to wirelessly communicate between media devices and allow configuration and other data to be wirelessly transmitted from one media device to another media device. The proximity detection system may be configured to detect a presence of a user or multiple users and upon detecting presence, access content on a user device, and record the content while also playing back the content on the media device. One or more user devices in proximity of the media device post detection may wirelessly communicate with the media device and the media device may orchestrate handling of content from those devices or from a wirelessly accessible location such as the Cloud or Internet.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for proximity and interface control of content, comprising:
 detecting presence of a user using a proximity detection island on a media device;   detecting a wireless signal from a user device;   connecting wirelessly with the user device using the media device;   wirelessly accessing content from the user device or a location specified by the user device;   determining a type of the content accessed;   determining a status, static or dynamic, of the content; and   handling the content on the media device based on the type and the status of the content.
