Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions which, responsive to being executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising: wirelessly receiving, by a media processor, media from a media source responsive to an authorization provided by a multimode mobile communication device to the media source without the media being received from the multimode mobile communication device, the media source comprising a mailbox of a data storage facility, the mailbox being associated with the mobile communication device, the mailbox being remote from the multimode mobile communication device and remote from the media processor, wherein the multimode mobile communication device has a plurality of modes of communication including a first mode of communication for communicating with another communication device, wherein the multimode mobile communication device detects the media processor using a second mode of communication; wirelessly receiving, by the media processor, control signals for control of presentation of the media from the multimode mobile communication device subsequent to detection of the media processor by the multimode mobile communication device, wherein the presentation is at a display device coupled with the media processor, wherein the control signals are wirelessly received according to one of the plurality of modes of communication, wherein an icon is presented at the multimode mobile communication device according to whether any of the plurality of modes of communication available to the multimode mobile communication device upon detecting the media processor is compatible with a mode of communication utilized by the media processor; and disabling other control by the media processor over presentation of the media on the display device while allowing the multimode mobile communication device to continue controlling presentation of the media via the control signals, wherein the disabled other control includes playing, pausing, rewinding, and fast forwarding of the presentation of the media, wherein the disabling of the control by the media processor over the presentation of the media is in response to a disable signal wirelessly received from the multimode mobile communication device at the media processor, and wherein the disabling of the control by the media processor over the presentation of the media is based on identity of the multimode communication device.
