Method and system for broadband near-field communication
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- in a first mobile consumer electronic device that comprises a broadband near-field communications (BNC) transceiver;
running an application on the first mobile electronic device;
using magnetic field induction to capture, via said BNC transceiver, a plurality of signals that spans multiple frequency bands;
selecting one or more of the multiple frequency bands according to the application running on said first mobile electronic device, wherein a transmission band comprises the selected one or more of the multiple frequency bands; and
transmitting video data over the transmission band, wherein the video data is destined for a second mobile consumer electronic device and the video data defines a graphical user interface of the application running on the first mobile electronic device.

Abstract
A first mobile consumer electronic device comprises a broadband near-field communications (BNC) transceiver and is configured to operate as a main processing unit for a second mobile consumer electronic device that is configured as a thin-client. The first mobile consumer electronic device may capture, via the BNC transceiver, a signal over a range of frequencies that spans multiple frequency bands which are licensed by a regulatory authority. The first mobile consumer electronic device may process the captured signal to determine which of the multiple frequency bands are not currently in use by other devices. The first mobile consumer electronic device may select a plurality of the frequency bands. The first mobile consumer electronic device may transmit, via the BNC transceiver, a signal over the selected plurality of frequency bands at a determined strength, where the signal carries video data destined for the second mobile consumer electronic device.
