Abstract

A device, method and computer program product for transmitting data within remote application are disclosed. The method includes the following steps: detecting a connection attribute with a receiver; selecting an available transmission condition according to the detected connection attribute; and transmitting an audio data and/or a video data to the receiver responsive to a determination that the available transmission condition is fulfilled.

Claims

1. A method for transmitting data within a remote application, comprising the following steps:

detecting a connection attribute with a receiver;

selecting an available transmission condition according to the detected connection attribute; and

transmitting an audio data and/or a video data to the receiver responsive to a determination that the available transmission condition is fulfilled.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step of selecting the transmission condition further comprises:

accessing a set of configuration data having a plurality of predetermined transmission conditions; and

selecting the available transmission condition according to the detected connection attribute with the set of configuration data.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein at least a part of the configuration data is selected from at least one of the followings:

a configuration data set by a provider, a configuration data set by the receiver, and a default transmission condition.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step of transmitting comprises:

upon a short-cut key is triggered, sending a signal notifying that the available transmission condition is accomplished.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the transmission conditions includes at least one of the followings:

an transmission interval, a page flip, a region selection, a presentation pause, a presentation resume, a image change, a move of the selected region, an intensity beyond a background threshold value, and an initiation of a short-cut key.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step of transmitting further comprises:

when the transmission condition is identified as a video stream, continuously transmitting the video stream as the video data to the receiver.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step of transmitting further comprises:

when the transmission condition is identified as a audio stream, continuously transmitting the audio stream as the audio data to the receiver.

8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step of transmitting further comprises:

capturing a screenshot from a video stream; and

transmitting the captured screenshot as the video data to the receiver.

9. The method according to claim 8, further comprising the step of adjusting the captured screenshot into a preferred file attribute.

10. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step of transmitting further comprises:

capturing a segment of the audio stream when the intensity of audio stream is over a background threshold value; and

transmitting the captured segment as the audio data to the receiver.

11. A computer program product having a program code for performing the following steps upon executing on an electronic device:

detecting a connection attribute with a receiver;

selecting an available transmission condition according to the detected connection attribute; and

transmitting an audio data and/or a video data to the receiver responsive to a determination that the available transmission condition is fulfilled.

12. The computer program product according to claim 11, wherein the step of selecting the transmission condition further comprises:

accessing a set of configuration data having a plurality of predetermined transmission conditions; and

selecting the available transmission condition according to the detected connection attribute with the set of configuration data.

13. The computer program product according to claim 11, wherein the step of transmitting comprises:

upon a short-cut key is triggered, sending a signal notifying that the available transmission condition is accomplished.

14. The computer program product according to claim 11, wherein the program code is executed for further performing the step of:

when the transmission condition is identified as a video stream, continuously transmitting the video stream as the video data to the receiver.

15. The computer program product according to claim 11, wherein the program code is executed for further performing the step of:

when the transmission condition is identified as a audio stream, continuously transmitting the audio stream as the audio data to the receiver.

16. The computer program product according to claim 11, wherein the program code is executed for further performing the step of:

capturing a screenshot from a video stream; and

transmitting the captured screenshot as the video data to the receiver.

17. The computer program product according to claim 16, wherein the program code is executed for further performing the step of:

adjusting the captured screenshot into a preferred file attribute.

18. The computer program product according to claim 11, wherein the program code is executed for further performing the step of:

capturing a segment of the audio stream when the intensity of audio stream is over a background threshold value; and

transmitting the captured segment as the audio data to the receiver.

19. A device for coupling to a receiver and transmitting data within a remote application, comprising:

a detecting module for detecting a connection attribute with the receiver; and

a transmitting module for transmitting an audio data and/or a video data to the receiver responsive to a determination that the available transmission condition is fulfilled.

20. The device according to claim 19, further comprising:

a storage unit for storing a set of configuration data having a plurality of predetermined transmission conditions; and

a capturing a screenshot from a video stream; and

transmitting the captured screenshot as the video data to the receiver.

selecting module for selecting the available transmission condition according to the detected connection attribute with the set of configuration data.

21. The device according to claim 19, further comprising:

a video capturing unit for capturing a screenshot from a video stream so that the captured screenshot is transmitted as the video data to the receiver.

22. The device according to claim 19, further comprising:

an audio capturing unit for capturing a segment of the audio stream when the intensity of audio stream is over a background threshold value so that the captured segment is transmitted as the audio data to the receiver.

23. The device according to claim 19, further comprising:

an input unit with a short-cut key to be triggered by a user;

wherein, upon the short-cut key is triggered, a signal is transmitted to notify that the available transmission condition is accomplished.
