A media docking device is provided and includes an input module, an output module, and a process module. The input module is electrically connected to a media source device. The output module is electrically connected to multiple media playing devices and obtains device data from the media playing devices. The process module transmits the device data and screen numbers to the media source device through the input module. When determining to perform a display switch procedure, the process module modifies the device data and the screen numbers, and transmits the modified device data and the modified screen numbers to the media source device through the input module. The process module also transmits media data from the media source device to the corresponding media playing device.

Media docking device and media docking method

A media docking device includes an input module, an output module and a processing module. The input module is electrically connected to a media source device for receiving media data. The output module is electrically connected to a media play device. The processing module determines if an instruction is received from the media source device or a remote device. If the instruction is not received, the processing module transfers the media data to the output module to transmit to the media play device. If the instruction is received, the processing module limits a transmission of the media data according to the instruction, such that the media data will not be completely played by the media play device.
