Abstract

A method for rendering a electronic content on a rendering device, the rendering device communicating with a mobile device. The method includes: recognition of data acquired by the mobile device in order to obtain metadata associated to the acquired data; selection of a rendering device; retrieval of configuration parameters of the selected rendering device; based on the configuration parameters of the selected rendering device, determination of a set of metadata associated to the acquired data the selected rendering device is able to render; and transmission to the selected rendering device of an electronic content to be rendered, the electronic content consisting at least in the metadata associated to the acquired data.

Claims

1. A method for rendering electronic content on a rendering device, the rendering device communicating with a mobile device, the method comprising the following acts performed by the mobile device:

acquiring data by the mobile device,

recognition of the data acquired by the mobile device,

obtaining a set of metadata associated to the acquired data, said metadata being able to be rendered,

selection of a rendering device,

retrieval of configuration parameters of the selected rendering device,

based on the configuration parameters of the selected rendering device, determining that the selected rendering device can only render a part of said set of metadata, sorting said metadata associated to the acquired data into first and second sets, the first set comprising any of the metadata that the selected rendering device is able to render, and the second set comprising any of the metadata that the selected rendering device is not able to render,

transmission to the selected rendering device of the electronic content to be rendered, said electronic content comprising, among said metadata, only all or part of the first set of metadata associated to the acquired data, and

rendering acquired data on the mobile device and said all or part of the first set of additional information on the selected rendering device.

2. The method of claim 1 comprising a prior act of registering at least one rendering device in a configuration parameters database.

3. The method of claim 2 comprising an act of storing in the configuration parameters database, for each registered rendering device, an identifier of the registered rendering device associated to configuration parameters of the rendering devices.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the selection of the rendering device comprises reception of the identifier of the rendering device by the mobile device.

5. The method of claim 3, wherein the selection of the rendering device comprises retrieving the identifier of the rendering device.

6. A mobile device communicating with a rendering device capable of rendering electronic content, the mobile device comprising:

a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon;

a computer configured by the instructions to;

acquire data,

recognize the data acquired by the mobile device

obtain a set of metadata associated to the acquired data, said metadata being able to be rendered,

select a rendering device,

retrieve configuration parameters of the selected rendering device, said configuration parameters being stored in a configuration parameters database,

based on the configuration parameters of the selected rendering device, determining that the selected rendering device can only render a part of said set of metadata, sorting said metadata associated to the acquired data into first and second sets, the first set comprising any of the metadata that the selected rendering device is able to render, and the second set comprising any of the metadata that the selected rendering device is not able to render, and

transmit to the selected rendering device an electronic content to be rendered, said electronic content comprising, among said metadata, all or part of the first set of metadata associated to the acquired data, and

rendering acquired data on the mobile device and said all or part of the first set of additional information on the selected rendering device.

7. A system comprising:

a mobile device, at least one rendering device capable of rendering electronic content, wherein the mobile device comprises;

a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon;

a computer configured by the instructions to acquire data, transmit the acquired data to at least one network equipment, select the rendering device, and interrogate a configuration parameters database, and

the at least one network equipment, which comprises;

the configuration parameters database;

a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon;

a computer configured by the instructions to recognize the data acquired by the mobile device in order to obtain a set of metadata associated to the acquired data, said metadata being able to be rendered, determine that the selected rendering device can only render a part of said set of metadata, sort a set of metadata associated to the acquired data into first and second sets, the first set comprising any of the metadata that the selected rendering device is able to render and the second set comprising any of the metadata that the selected rendering device is not able to render, based on the configuration parameters of the selected rendering device, transmit the electronic content to be rendered to the selected rendering device, the electronic content including, among said metadata, only all or part of the first set of metadata associated to the acquired data, and render acquired data on the mobile device and said all or part of the first set of additional information on the selected rendering device.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a computer program stored thereon, which comprises program code instructions for rendering electronic content on a rendering device when the program is executed by a processor of a mobile device, the rendering device communicating with the mobile device, wherein the instructions configure the processor of the mobile device to:

acquire data by the mobile device,

recognize the data acquired by the mobile device;

obtain a set of metadata associated to the acquired data, said metadata being able to be rendered,

select a rendering device,

retrieve configuration parameters of the selected rendering device,

based on the configuration parameters of the selected rendering device, determining that the selected rendering device can only render a part of said set of metadata, sorting said metadata associated to the acquired data into first and second sets, the first set comprising any of the metadata that the selected rendering device is able to render, and the second set comprising any of the metadata that the selected rendering device is not able to render,

transmit to the selected rendering device the electronic content to be rendered, said electronic content comprising, among said metadata, all or part of the first set of metadata associated to the acquired data, and

render acquired data on the mobile device and said all or part of the first set of additional information on the selected rendering device.
