1. A method for operating a transmitter device that facilitates sharing of media data, the method comprising:
- at the transmitter device;
connecting to an input channel of a first computing device;
detecting a service being broadcast by a second computing device;
establishing, in response to detecting the service, a control channel with the second computing device;
receiving, via the control channel, a command from a web application executing on the second computing device, wherein the command corresponds to a request to display the media data;
receiving the media data from the second computing device; and
causing, in response to receiving the media data, the first computing device to display the media data.

Abstract
Some embodiments provide a system for interacting with a web browser. During operation, the system establishes a network connection with the web browser from a portable electronic device. Next, the system provides data to the web browser using a web server on the portable electronic device. Finally, the system sends a set of control instructions from the web server to the web browser, wherein the control instructions direct the web browser to obtain and display the data.
