Claims

1. A method, comprising: initially prompting (40) a user through a consumer electronics device (12) to login to a profile managed over a network and associated with a remote storage device (26), the profile login information only being required a first time the consumer electronics device (12) attempts to access media files stored on the remote storage device (26) to access the media files and not thereafter being required of the user to access the media files; allowing (44) access to stored media files on the remote storage device (26); providing (46) a menu on the consumer electronics device (12) of stored media files located on the remote storage device (26); wherein the menu only presents media files capable of presentation on the consumer electronics device (12); and based on at least receiving a user's plural selections of media files, receiving (48) the plural media files from the remote storage device (26) for simultaneous presentation on the consumer electronics device (12).

2. The method of Claim 1, wherein determining media files to be provided on the menu comprises the steps of: determining (52) the characteristics of the consumer electronics device (12); and thereafter determining (54) which media files on the remote storage device (26) are capable of presentation on the consumer electronics device (12).

3. The method of Claim 2, comprising creating (56) a menu of content capable of presentation on the consumer electronics device (12) based on the characteristics of the consumer electronics device (12).

4. The method of Claim 1, wherein the network is the internet.

5. The method of Claim 1, comprising disassociating the consumer electronics device (12) with the profile.

6. A content management system for performing the method as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 7.

Specification

We Claim:
1. A method, comprising:
initially prompting (40) a user through a consumer electronics device (12) to login to a profile managed over a network and associated with a remote storage device (26), the profile login information only being required a first time the consumer electronics device (12) attempts to access media files stored on the remote storage device (26) to access the media files and not thereafter being required of the user to access the media files;
allowing (44) access to stored media files on the remote storage device (26);
providing (46) a menu on the consumer electronics device (12) of stored media files located on the remote storage device (26);
wherein the menu only presents media files capable of presentation on the consumer electronics device (12); and
based on at least receiving a user's plural selections of media files, receiving (48) the plural media files from the remote storage device (26) for simultaneous presentation on the consumer electronics device (12).
2. The method of Claim 1, wherein determining media files to be provided on the menu
comprises the steps of:
determining (52) the characteristics of the consumer electronics device (12); and thereafter determining (54) which media files on the remote storage device (26) are capable of presentation on the consumer electronics device (12).
3. The method of Claim 2, comprising creating (56) a menu of content capable of presentation on the consumer electronics device (12) based on the characteristics of the consumer electronics device (12).
4. The method of Claim 1, wherein the network is the internet.
