Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a plurality of digital media rendering devices; non-transitory logic to federate the digital media rendering devices into a single federated rendering device configured for utilization by a proximate mobile device for rendering digital media; non-transitory logic to accept a request for rendering services from the proximate mobile device to the single federated rendering device via a rendering protocol; non-transitory logic to track physical movement of the proximate mobile device and to implement a hand-off of rendering of audio from the proximate mobile device continuously to a device of the digital media rendering devices physically closest to the proximate mobile device; and non-transitory logic to implement the hand-off in a graduated fashion, with rendering of the audio from the proximate mobile device occurring simultaneously from more than one of the digital media rendering devices for a period of time or within an overlapping service boundary of the more than one of the digital media rendering devices.
