US 8120707 B2Abstract
A) Buttons or other mechanical controls provided on the device 28; B) A joy stick functionality of the external storage device 28, as described in U.S. Provisional Patent Application 60/803,047. Thus, in some embodiments, the external storage device 28 playback device includes one or more mechanical sensors residing on a housing of the external storage device 28 for sensing a force or stress on the housing of the portable media playback device. One or more media playback commands may be provided in response to the sensed forces, thereby allowing a user to control operation of the player by providing force on the coupled media playback device. 2) A remote control, as described in U.S. Provisional Patent Application 60/746,653. Thus, in some examples, the portable media playback device is operative to receive user-generated commands from a remote control via a wireless link. It is noted that, in the above ‘remote control’ example, the wireless link is separate from the communications link/data channel between the device port 30 of external storage device 28 and the host-side port 26 of the host display device 20. Thus, in some embodiments, the user command is received via a communications link (for example, the aforementioned wireless link) that is separate from device port 30.
