MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND METHOD OF OPERATION

摘要

A mobile communication device communicates with at least one of a plurality of a plurality of Access Points (APs) in a venue. The APs receives a single stream of video data packets that are created by receiving multiple video streams and transcoding them into the single stream of video data packets with each of the plurality of video data packets for respective ones of the video streams being assigned a port number corresponding to the respective video stream. A processor in the mobile communication device identifies and stores the video data packets having the selected port number and plays the video stream corresponding to the selected port number on a display. The mobile communication device can “change channels” to view other video streams by changing the port number to the port number of the desired video stream.

主权项

1. A mobile communication device configured for communication with one or more of a plurality of wireless access points (APs) in a venue to receive selected data packets from a data stream transmitted by the plurality of APs, comprising:
a short-range transceiver configured to communicate with at least one of the plurality of APs and receive data transmitted therefrom, the transmitted data stream having a plurality of data packets each having a designated port number corresponding to one of a plurality of video streams; a processor configured to select a port number corresponding to a desired one of the plurality of video streams wherein the short-range transceiver receives the data packets having the selected port number; a memory device configured to store the received data packets having the selected port number; a display; and a video player configured to play the received data packets to thereby play the selected one of the plurality of video streams on the display.
