Abstract

A flat panel television (TV) and a method of mirroring content from a mobile device onto the flat panel TV are provided. The method includes receiving one or more encoded audio-video packets from the mobile device that accesses the flat panel TV via a universal serial bus (USB) connection, decoding the one or more encoded audio-video packets and rendering the content, and displaying the content on the flat panel TV.

Claims

1. A method of minoring content from a mobile device onto a television (TV), the method comprising:

receiving one or more encoded audio-video packets from the mobile device that accesses the TV;

decoding the one or more encoded audio-video packets, and rendering the content; and

displaying the content on the TV.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the TV is a flat panel TV and wherein the mobile device is disposed on a mobile cradle included in the flat panel TV.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the content displayed on the flat panel TV is controlled by a user using one of a remote control device and a remote mobile device.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the content from the mobile device is stored in an internal memory of the flat panel TV.

5. The method of claim 2, wherein the content from the mobile device is synchronized with an internal memory of the flat panel TV.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the TV is a flat panel TV.

6. A flat panel television (TV) for minoring content received from a mobile device, the flat panel TV comprising:

an interface configured to access a mobile device via a universal serial bus (USB) connection;

a communication interface configured to perform electronic communication with the mobile device;

a memory configured to store a plurality of instructions; and

a processor configured to respond to the plurality of instructions,

wherein, in response to the plurality of instructions,

the processor is configured to receive one or more encoded audio-video packets from the mobile device that accesses the flat panel TV via the USB connection,

the processor is configured to decode the one or more encoded audio-video packets, and rendering the content, and

the processor is configured to display the content on a screen of the flat panel TV.

7. The flat panel TV of claim 6, further comprising a mobile cradle that supports the mobile device.

8. The flat panel TV of claim 7, wherein the mobile cradle is further configured to charge the mobile device.

9. The flat panel TV of claim 6, wherein the content displayed on the screen of the flat panel TV is configured to be controlled by a user by using one of a remote control device and a remote mobile device.

10. The flat panel TV of claim 6, wherein the content received from the mobile device is configured to be stored in an internal memory of the flat panel TV.

11. The flat panel TV of claim 6, wherein the content received from the mobile device is configured to be synchronized with an internal memory of the flat panel TV.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for executing the method of mirroring content from a mobile device onto a flat panel television (TV), the method comprising:

receiving one or more encoded audio-video packets from the mobile device that accesses the flat panel TV via a universal serial bus (USB) connection;

decoding the one or more encoded audio-video packets, for rendering the content; and

displaying the content on the flat panel TV.

14. A flat panel television (TV) for minoring content received from a mobile device, the flat panel TV comprising:

an interface configured to access a mobile device;

a communication interface configured to perform electronic communication with the mobile device; and

a processor configured to respond to a plurality of instructions,

wherein, in response to the plurality of instructions,

the processor is configured to receive one or more encoded audio-video packets from the mobile device that accesses the flat panel TV,

the processor is configured to decode the one or more encoded audio-video packets, and rendering the content, and

the processor is configured to display the content on a screen of the flat panel TV.

15. The flat panel TV of claim 14, further comprising a memory configured to store a plurality of instructions.

16. The flat screen TV of claim 14, wherein the interface is configured to access the mobile device via a universal serial bus (USB) connection and the processor is configured to receive the one or more audio-video packets via the USB connection.
