摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed for transferring video display between video playback devices. In one embodiment, a mobile, or handheld, device receives user input that initiates transfer of display of video content to the mobile device from a desired renderer located proximate to the mobile device. The mobile device then causes transfer of display of the video content to the mobile device from the desired renderer. In another embodiment, a mobile, or handheld, device receives user input that initiates transfer of display of video content from the mobile device to a desired renderer located proximate to the mobile device. The mobile device then causes transfer of display of the video content from the mobile device to the desired renderer.

主权项

1. A method of operation of a mobile device comprising:
receiving user input that initiates transfer of display of video content rendered to the mobile device from a desired renderer located proximate to the mobile device; automatically detecting the desired renderer, wherein automatically detecting the desired renderer comprises:
obtaining a location of the mobile device; andobtaining a direction that the mobile device is pointing while the mobile device is pointed toward the desired renderer;wherein the desired renderer is enabled to be indentified from a plurality of renderers based on the location of the mobile device and the direction that the mobile device is pointing while the mobile device is pointed toward the desired renderer; and causing transfer of display of the video content to the mobile device from the desire renderer located proximate to the mobile device.
