Abstract

A method and system is provided for WiDi cloud mode. The method includes sending a command from a computing device to a cloud network. A connection between the cloud network and a remote adapter based on the command may be monitored. A data stream sent from the cloud network to the remote adapter via the connection may be controlled.

Claims

1. A method for WiDi cloud mode, comprising:

sending a command from a computing device to a cloud network;

monitoring a connection between the cloud network and a remote adapter based on the command; and

controlling a data stream sent from the cloud network to the remote adapter via the connection.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the data stream is a video stream, and the video stream is decoded and decrypted at the remote adapter.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the data stream is a video stream that is rendered on a remote device.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the cloud network is a personal or home network, further comprising obtaining the video stream from a networked computer.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the data stream is an audio stream that is played through speakers coupled with the remote adapter.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the data stream includes photographs.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the data stream is audio and video associated with a computer game played on the computing device.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the computing device is configured to operate as a cloud controller.

9. A computing device, comprising:

a central processing unit (CPU) that is configured to execute stored instructions and a storage device that stores instructions, wherein the storage device includes processor executable code that, when executed by the CPU, is configured to;

send a command from a computing device to a cloud network;

monitor a connection between the cloud network and a remote adapter based on the command; and

control a data stream sent from the cloud network to the remote adapter via the connection.

10. The computing device of claim 9, wherein the data stream is a video stream, and the video stream is decoded and decrypted at the remote adapter.

11. The computing device of claim 9, wherein the data stream is a video stream that is rendered on a remote device.

12. The computing device of claim 9, wherein the cloud is a personal or home network, further comprising obtaining the video stream from a networked computer.

13. The computing device of claim 9, wherein the data stream is an audio stream that plays through a speaker coupled with the remote adapter.

14. The computing device of claim 9, wherein the data stream is audio and video associated with a computer game that is played on the computing device.

15. The computing device of claim 9, wherein the computing device is configured to operate as a cloud controller.

16. The computing device of claim 9, further comprising a radio and a display, the radio and display communicatively coupled at least to the central processing unit.

17. At least one machine readable medium having instructions stored therein that, in response to being executed on a computing device, cause the computing device to:

send a command from a computing device to a cloud network;

monitor a connection between the cloud network and a remote adapter based on the command; and

control a data stream sent from the cloud network to the remote adapter via the connection.

18. The at least one machine readable medium of claim 17 wherein the data stream is a video stream, and the video stream is decoded and decrypted at the remote adapter.

19. The at least one machine readable medium of claim 17, wherein the data stream is a video stream that is rendered on a remote device.

20. The at least one machine readable medium of claim 17, wherein the cloud is a personal or home network, further comprising obtaining the video stream from a networked computer.
