Abstract

A wireless transfer system includes a wireless transfer device having a wireless module, microprocessors for executing transfer protocols, a motion sensing module, and an infrared sensor; a central server; and one or more display devices, the wireless transfer device, and the central server being connected though one or more networks, the one or more networks comprising at least one of wireless communications networks and wired communications networks.

Claims

1. A wireless transfer device, comprising:

a wireless module;

a microprocessor configured for executing transfer protocols; and

an infrared sensor.

3. The device of claim 1, comprising:

a 9-axis MEMS spatial microprocessor.

4. The device of claim 1, comprising:

a microphone.

5. The device of claim 1, comprising:

an LED.

6. The device of claim 1, comprising:

a housing, the housing being substantially spherical, and having a radius lying in a range of about 3.3 to about 4.5 cm in radius.

7. The device of claim 6, the housing having an outer surface.

8. The device of claim 1, the housing being formed to have a substantially spherical shape.

9. The device of claim 1, the housing being formed to have a substantially spherical shape, and an outer compliant surface.

10. The device of claim 7, wherein the compliant material comprises rubber.

11. The device of claim 7, wherein the housing contains the wireless module and the microprocessors.

12. The device of claim 7, comprising:

a scroll wheel, the scroll wheel being configured for actuation from an outer surface of the housing.

13. The device of claim 7, comprising:

a scroll wheel, the scroll wheel being configured for actuation from a surface of the housing, the housing being substantially spherical.

14. The device of claim 1, the microprocessors being configured to execute client discovery and recognition protocols.

15. The device of claim 1, comprising:

a display, the display being configured to display a device interface for displaying user selection selected from the group comprising;

voice control, broadcast content, transfer content, and save to cloud.

2. A wireless transfer system, comprising:

a wireless transfer device having a wireless module, a microprocessor for executing transfer protocols, and an infrared sensor;

a central server; and

one or more display devices, the wireless transfer device, and the central server being connected though one or more networks, the one or more networks comprising at least one of wireless communications networks and wired communications networks.

16. A wireless transfer method, comprising:

receiving a user actuation at the wireless transfer device; and

recognizing a display device that the user desires to control by the wireless transfer device.

17. The method of claim 16, comprising:

receiving a user selection of a file for transfer;

recognizing a display to which the user desires to transfer the selected file, the recognizing comprising determining that the wireless transfer device is pointing at the display; and

wirelessly transferring the file.

18. The method of claim 16, comprising:

receiving the user'"'"'s placement of a cursor on a target file;

receiving a user actuation at the wireless transfer device

receiving the user'"'"'s selection to save to a cloud account; and

saving the target file to the cloud account.

19. The method of claim 16, comprising:

receiving a user actuation at the wireless transfer device;

receiving a user'"'"'s spoken input; and

displaying results, the results being generated by a native language user interface.

20. The method of claim 16, comprising:

registering a plurality of the users to a group account hosted by a central server on the wireless transfer device;

receiving a user actuation at the wireless transfer device for access to central server menu option content;

receiving a user'"'"'s broadcast content selection; and

wirelessly pushing the content selection to the registered wireless transfer device.
