Abstract
A mobile media router and a method for using the same receive multimedia data from a first wireless network and reroute the multimedia data in another format without rendering the multimedia. The mobile media router and the method for using the same may reroute the multimedia data over a second wireless network to a rendering device. The mobile media router and the method for using the same may translate, reformat and/or repackage the multimedia data into a form that allows consumption of the multimedia on the rendering device. The mobile media router and the method for using the same may reroute the multimedia data in real time so that the rendering device renders the multimedia as the multimedia data is received by the mobile media router.

18. A method for transmitting multimedia data from a local device to a remote device wherein the local device is connected to a first wireless network and the remote device is connected to a second wireless network and further wherein the first wireless network is a wireless local-area network and the second wireless network is a wireless wide-area network, the method comprising the steps of:
-
connecting a mobile device to the first wireless network; providing capability information of the mobile device to the first wireless network wherein the capability information indicates processing ability of the mobile device; providing capability information of the remote device to the mobile device wherein the capability information of the remote device indicates an ability of the remote device to render the multimedia data; transmitting the multimedia data from the local device to the mobile device via the first wireless network wherein the local device transmits the multimedia data in a first format to the mobile device and further wherein the first format of the multimedia data is selected based on the capability information of the mobile device; converting the multimedia data from the first format to a second format wherein the second format is different than the first format wherein the mobile device converts the multimedia data from the first format to the second format and further wherein the second format is selected based on the capability information of the remote device; and transmitting the multimedia file in the second format from the mobile device to the remote device via the second network. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
