Abstract

The present invention provides a method for controlling apps activation within local network having at least one receiver module associated with external screen and at least one touch enabled device, both enabled to activate multimedia streaming applications. The method comprising the steps of: selecting between at least one receiver module and at least one touch enabled device for activating multimedia application selected by a user, based on predefined rules or user instruction. In case the selected device is not a mobile device having touched enabled screen:reverse mirroring of activated multimedia applications from the receiver module of the selected device to the touch enabled device through direct local wireless communication network and conveying input data from the touch enabled device in real-time to the receiver module of the selected device through direct local wireless communication network.

Claims

1. A method for controlling apps activation within local network having at least one receiver module associated with external screen and at least one touch enabled device, both enabled to activate multimedia streaming applications, said method comprising the steps of:

selecting between at least one receiver module and at least one touch enabled device for activating multimedia application or content selected by a user, based on predefined rules or user instruction,

in case the selected device is not a mobile device having touched enabled screen;

reverse mirroring of activated multimedia applications from the receiver module of the selected device to the touch enabled device through direct local wireless communication network and conveying input data from the touch enabled device in real-time to the receiver module of the selected device through direct local wireless communication network.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of transmitting the identification the multimedia content to be activated from touch enabled device to the receiver module.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of transmitting the identification the required multimedia application to be activated from touch enabled device to the receiver module.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of transmitting the multimedia application binary data to be activated from touch enabled device to the receiver module.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of installing the multimedia application on the receiver module.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of transmitting the identification the multimedia content to be activated from the receiver module to the touch enabled device.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of transmitting the identification of the required multimedia application to be activated from the receiver module to the touch enabled device.

8. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of transmitting the multimedia application binary data to be activated from the receiver module to the touch enabled device.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein the predefined rules for selecting the available device for activating multimedia application, include checking video streaming quality.

10. The method of claim 1 wherein the predefined rules for selecting the available device for activating multimedia application, include identifying the use case of the application and the type of content.

11. A system for controlling apps activation within local network having at least one receiver module associated with external screen and at least one touch enabled device, both enabled to activate multimedia streaming applications, said system comprised of:

switching module for selecting between at least one receiver module and at least one touch enabled device for activating multimedia application or content selected by a user, based on predefined rules or user instruction,

wherein, in case the selected device is not a mobile device having touched enabled screen;

activating mirroring module for reverse mirroring of activated multimedia applications from the receiver module of the selected device to the touch enabled device through direct local wireless communication network and conveying input data from the touch enabled device in real-time to the receiver module of the selected device through direct local wireless communication network.

12. The system of claim 11 wherein the switching further comprising the step of transmitting the identification the multimedia content to be activated from touch enabled device to the receiver module.

13. The system of claim 11 wherein the switching further comprising the step of transmitting the identification the required multimedia application to be activated from touch enabled device to the receiver module.

14. The system of claim 11 wherein the switching further comprising the step of transmitting the multimedia application binary data to be activated from touch enabled device to the receiver module.

15. The system of claim 11 wherein the switching further comprising the step of installing the multimedia application on the receiver module.

16. The system of claim 11 wherein the switching further comprising the step of transmitting the identification the multimedia content to be activated from the receiver module to the touch enabled device.

17. The system of claim 11 wherein the switching further comprising the step of transmitting the identification of the required multimedia application to be activated from the receiver module to the touch enabled device.

18. The system of claim 11 wherein the switching further comprising the step of transmitting the multimedia application binary data to be activated from the receiver module to the touch enabled device.

19. The system of claim 11 wherein the predefined rules for selecting the available device for activating multimedia application, include checking video streaming quality.

20. The system of claim 11 wherein the predefined rules for selecting the available device for activating multimedia application, include identifying the use case of the application and the type of content.
