Abstract

The present invention provides a method for real-time multimedia interface management of receiver module associated or integrated with an external display. The receiver device having processor and communication module for supporting streaming multimedia applications. The method comprising the steps of: reverse mirroring of activated multimedia applications from the receiver module to a touch enabled device through direct local wireless communication network; and concurrently or non-concurrently and conveying input data from the touch enabled device in real-time to the receiver device through direct local wireless communication network.

Claims

1. A method for real-time multimedia interface management of receiver module associated or integrated with an external display, said receiver device having processor and communication module for supporting streaming multimedia applications, said method comprising the steps of:

reverse mirroring of activated multimedia applications from the receiver module to a touch enabled device through direct local wireless communication network; and

concurrently or non-concurrently

conveying input data from the touch enabled device in real-time to the receiver device through direct local wireless communication network, wherein the input data is related to the activation of mirrored multimedia applications;

wherein the reverse mirroring and conveying input data is performed by at least one processor.

2. A method of claim 1 further comprising the steps of:

receiving and identifying, in real time, information parameters relating to a use case of the streamed multimedia on the receiver device;

wherein the reverse mirroring streaming include only partial video/audio data or include additional data, streamed from the receiver module to the touch enabled device in accordance with the received information parameters and pre-defined rules which define the type, format, timing or context of partial video/audio data to be streamed.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein information parameters indicate of user input.

4. The method of claim 2 wherein information parameters indicate of sensor data of the touch enabled device.

5. The method of claim 2 wherein the input data includes partial or additional data includes at least one of:

video interface, audio data, subtitle.

6. The method of claim 2 wherein the information parameters relate uses case of watching video, wherein the video is displayed only at the external display and the reverse mirroring include only control interface to be displayed on the mobile device.

7. The method of claim 2 wherein the information parameters indicate of user connecting a head set, related use case of watching video, wherein the video is displayed only at the external display and the reverse mirroring include only audio stream.

8. The method of claim 6 wherein streaming quality of control interface is degraded by degrading the frame rate of the UI elements motion.

9. The method of claim 2 wherein the information parameters relate uses case of games playing session and the pre-defined rule determine to decrease the video parameters, while sending all sensor information to the dongle.

10. The method of claim 3 of wherein the information parameters relates to use case of Static applications, identifying when the user view mostly static information , the pre-defined rule determines to decrease the frame rate significantly, while increasing the bit rate.

11. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of receiving an indication of activation of nearby receiver module before starting the reverse mirroring streaming process.

12. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of identifying the current status of multimedia activation and wherein the reverse mirroring include streaming the multimedia activated content.

13. A system including at least one processor for real-time multimedia interface management of receiver module associated with an external display, said receiver device having processor and communication module for supporting streaming multimedia applications, said system comprised of:

a touch enabled device including an interaction module which concurrently or non-concurrently convey input data in real-time to the receiver device through direct local wireless communication network;

wherein the input data is related to the activation of mirrored multimedia applications.

14. The system of claim 13 wherein the reverse mirroring module is partly implemented at the touch enabled device.

15. The system of claim 13 wherein the receiver module is implemented in dongle device associated with a target display.

16. The system of claim 13 wherein the receiver module is implemented in the external display device.

17. The system of claim 13 wherein the mirroring module include, receiving and identifying, in real time, information parameters relating to a use case of the streamed multimedia on the receiver device, wherein the reverse mirroring data include only partial video/audio data or additional data from the receiver module to the touch enabled device in accordance with the received information parameters input data and pre-defined rules or user control which define the type, format, timing or context of the partial video/audio data to be streamed.

18. The system of claim 13 wherein information parameters indicate of user input.

19. The system of claim 13 wherein information parameters indicate of sensor data of the touch enabled device.

20. The system of claim 13 wherein the input data includes partial or additional data includes at least one of:

video interface, audio data, subtitle.

21. The system of claim 13 wherein the information parameters relate uses case of watching video, wherein the video is displayed only at the external display and the reverse mirroring include only control interface to be displayed on the mobile device.

22. The system of claim 13 wherein the information parameters indicate of user connecting a head set, related uses case of watching video, wherein the video is displayed only at the external display and the reverse mirroring include audio stream.

23. The system of claim 13 wherein streaming quality of control interface is degraded. by degrading the frame rate of the UI elements motion.

24. The system of claim 13 wherein the information parameters relate uses case of games playing session the pre-defined rule determines to decrease the video parameters, while sending all sensor information to the dongle.
