METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATING AND ASSISTING WI-FI DIRECT CONNECTIONS USING MOBILE-DEVICE IR-BLASTER

摘要

In an aspect, an apparatus for establishing peer-to-peer communications is provided. The apparatus comprises a processing system, an infrared transmitter, and an antenna. The processing system is configured to receive a command to initiate a peer-to-peer communication. The processing system is further configured to generate an infrared signal for transmission to a second device and find the second device on a wireless communication network. The processing system is also configured to generate a request to form a peer-to-peer connection with the second device for transmission to the second device via the wireless communication network. The processing system is also further configured to connect to the second device via the peer-to-peer connection on the wireless communication network. The infrared transmitter is configured to transmit the infrared signal to the second device, while the antenna is configured to participate in wireless communications on the wireless communication network.
