`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`Today, ?les having different display siZes and levels of
`resolution for images and video may be attached to e-mail
`messages using a personal computer (PC) and sent to other
`PC’s via the Internet. Also, ?les may be sent from one loca
`
`65
`
`2
`tion to another over a netWork such as a local area netWork
`(LAN) or a Wide area netWork (WAN)) using a ?le transfer
`protocol (FTP). The ?les may be used in conjunction With
`certain media players such as PC’s, DVD players, PDA’s, etc.
`Depending on the siZe of a video ?le or an image ?le, the
`content may be displayed in a different resolution, color con
`tent or display siZe. Files are often sent from a source location
`to a destination location Without the source having any
`knoWledge of the device capabilities at the destination loca
`tion.
`For example, a source PC may send a JPEG image ?le to a
`destination PC Without knoWing the display capabilities of
`the destination PC. The source PC may send the highest
`quality I PEG ?le Which can be a very large ?le. If the desti
`nation PC has a loWer quality display capability, then the
`destination PC cannot take advantage of the high quality level
`of the JPEG ?le. The large I PEG ?le may take a long time to
`transfer from the source PC to the destination PC Without the
`destination PC gaining any advantage (i.e., the destination PC
`cannot display the high quality of the J PEG ?le). Also, a very
`large bandWidth may be required to transfer the J PEG ?le in
`a reasonable amount of time.
`Further limitations and disadvantages of conventional and
`traditional approaches Will become apparent to one of skill in
`the art, through comparison of such systems With the present
`invention as set forth in the remainder of the present applica
`tion With reference to the draWings.
`
`BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
`
`Aspects of the present invention may be found in, for
`example, systems and methods that adapt media content. In
`one embodiment, a system may include, for example, a ?rst
`communications device and a second communications
`device. The ?rst communications device may be disposed in
`a ?rst location and may be operatively coupled to a netWork.
`The second communications device may be disposed in a
`second location and may be operatively coupled to the net
`Work. The second communications device may receive a
`device pro?le relating to the ?rst communications device,
`adapt media content based upon the device pro?le of the ?rst
`communications device, and send the adapted media content
`to the ?rst communications device.
`In another embodiment, a system may include, for
`example, a communications device that may be operatively
`coupled to a netWork. The communications device may store
`a revisable device pro?le of the communications device, send
`the revisable device pro?le to the netWork, and receive media
`content that has been adapted based upon the sent device
`pro?le.
`In another embodiment, a system may include, for
`example, a communications device that may be operatively
`coupled to a netWork. The communications device may
`receive a revisable device pro?le from the netWork, adapt
`media content based upon the received device pro?le, and
`send the adapted media content to the netWork.
`In another embodiment, a method may include, for
`example, one or more of the folloWing: receiving, by a ?rst
`communications device, a device pro?le relating to a second
`communications device, the ?rst communications device and
`the second communications device being operatively coupled
`to a netWork; adapting, by the ?rst communications device,
`media content based upon the device pro?le; and sending the
`adapted media content to the ?rst communications device.
`In another embodiment, a method may include, for
`example, one or more of the folloWing: storing, in a commu
`nications device, a revisable device pro?le of the communi

`cations device, the communications device being operatively
`coupled to a network; sending the revisable device pro?le to
`the network; and receiving media content from the network
`that has been adapted based upon the sent device pro?le.
