MECHANISM FOR FILE TRANSFORMATION AND SHARING ACROSS DEVICES USING CAMERA INTERFACE

摘要

Embodiments described herein relate generally to the transmission of a request for a file from a first computing device to a second computing device. The first computing device may present an image having a representation of a file to a user and detect a selection of a location on the image at which the representation of the file is disposed. The first computing device, in turn, may transmit the image and a description of the selection to the second computing device. Based on the received image and description of the selection, the second computing device may identify the file corresponding to the selected location on the image. The second computing device may adapt, or cause to be adapted, the identified file. The second computing device may then transmit the identified file (or the adapted version) to the first computing device. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

主权项

1. A portable electronic device having a visual file request feature, the portable electronic device comprising:
a display; a visual file requester, coupled with the display, to present on the display an image of another display of another computing device, wherein the image includes a representation of at least a portion of a file on the another computing device, and to detect a selection of a location on the image where the representation of the at least a portion of the file is at least partially disposed; and a transmitter, coupled with the visual file requester, to wirelessly transmit the image and a description of the selection to the another computing device to request the file from the another computing device.
