METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REAL-TIME SHARING OF MULTIMEDIA CONTENT BETWEEN WIRELESS DEVICES

摘要

The disclosure relates to sharing real-time multimedia content. The method may include identifying an application for sharing by a first device, discovering one or more second devices by the first device, independent of a technology or a platform of the devices, applying communication protocols and creating an association between the first device and the one or more second devices, and determining multimedia capabilities of the one or more second devices. Furthermore, such an example method may include selecting at least a portion of the screen of a first device for sharing based at least on the determined multimedia capabilities of the second devices, computing application associated performance parameters based at least on a type of content and transmitting the selected portion of the screen of the first device to the one or more second devices over the wireless connection.

主权项

1. A method for sharing multimedia content between wireless devices in real-time over a wireless connection, comprising:
identifying an application for sharing by a first device; discovering one or more second devices by the first device, wherein the discovering of the one or more second devices by the first device is independent of a technology or a platform of the one or more second devices; applying communication protocols for communicating with the one or more second devices and creating an association between the first device and the one or more second devices; determining multimedia capabilities of the one or more second devices; selecting at least a portion of a screen of the first device for sharing with the one or more second devices based at least on the determined multimedia capabilities of the one or more second devices; computing application associated performance parameters by the first device, wherein the performance parameters are computed by the first device based at least on a type of content identified for sharing by the application on the first device and the determined multimedia capabilities of the one or more second devices; and transmitting the selected portion of the screen of the first device to the one or more second devices over the wireless connection.
