Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 8:
9. A system comprising control circuitry configured to:
detect that a first display device is generating for display a first audio-visual media, and that a second display device is simultaneously generating for display a second audio-visual media, wherein the first audio-visual media is live media and the second audio-visual media is media time shifted version of the live media;
determine, based on a profile, that an importance of a first event occurring in the first audio-visual media is less than an importance of a second event occurring in the second audio-visual media simultaneously with the first event;
compare a screen size of the first display device displaying the first audio-visual media to a screen size of the second display device displaying the second audio-visual media to determine that the screen size of the first display device is larger than the screen size of the second display device; and
in response to: (a) the determining that the importance of the first event occurring in the first audio-visual media is less than the importance of the second event occurring in the second audio-visual media simultaneously with the first event and (b) that the screen size of the first display device is larger than the screen size of the second display device:
(a) cause the first display device to generate for display the second audio-visual media, and (b) cause the second display device to generate for display the first audio-visual media.
