Wide area mirroring router

摘要

A wide area mirroring router enables mobile device screen mirroring across a wide area network. The wide area mirroring router (WAMR) is in wireless communication with a mobile device to receive Internet Protocol (IP) packets, including multicast packets, containing data related to mirroring content displayed on the mobile device to a remote display device. The WAMR encapsulates the IP packets into envelopes for transmission via a tunnel to the remote display device over the wide area network.

主权项

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a processor for receiving Internet Protocol (IP) packets from a mobile device, the IP packets including multicast packets that enable the mobile device to discover and connect to a remote display device and unicast packets containing mirrored content, the mirrored content being displayed on the mobile device and mirrored to the remote display device for display thereon via the unicast packets, the processor further for encapsulating the IP packets into envelopes for transmission via a tunnel to the remote display device; and an interface for communicating the envelopes to the remote display device via the tunnel over a wide area network; wherein the processor further provides a virtual Ethernet bridge for bridging a wireless domain coupling the mobile device to the apparatus and a wired domain coupling the apparatus to the wide area network.
