Abstract

A system for mirroring a portable device over a remote display is disclosed herein and includes a portable device, a router and a remote display. The portable device includes a mirror program. The router is configured to download and decode a plurality of video streams in accordance with a request of the mirror program. The remote display is configured to display the plurality of video streams, which are decoded by the router.

Claims

1. A system for mirroring a portable device over a remote display, comprising:

a portable device including a mirror program;

a router configured to download and decode a plurality of video streams in accordance with a request by the mirror program; and

a remote display configured to display the plurality of video streams, which are decoded by the router.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of video streams are downloaded from the Internet to the router.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the router includes a controller to decode the plurality of video streams.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the router includes a video port configured to connect to the remote display.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the router is connected to the remote display by an 802.11 b/g/n WIFI connection or an Ethernet port.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the portable device includes an 802.11 b/g/n WIFI connection.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of video streams are High Definition video streams.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of video streams are downloaded from a local drive to the router.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the local drive is installed in the portable device or the router.

10. A method for mirroring a portable device over a remote display, comprising:

activating a mirror program in a portable device;

choosing a video program and sending a display request to a router by the mirror program;

downloading a plurality of video streams;

decoding the plurality of video streams by the router;

transmitting the plurality of video streams to a remote display; and

displaying the plurality of video streams on the remote display.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the mirror program is activated by launching software in the portable device.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein the mirror program is activated by pushing a button in the portable device.

13. The method of claim 10, wherein the downloading step is to download the plurality of video streams from the Internet.

14. The method of claim 10, wherein the downloading step is to download the plurality of video streams from the portable device.

15. The method of claim 10, wherein the download step is to download a plurality of high definition video streams.

16. The method of claim 10, wherein the transmitting step is to transmit the plurality of video streams via wire.

17. The method of claim 10, wherein the transmitting step is to transmit the plurality of video streams via wireless.
