Abstract

A method for rendering data in a network is disclosed. The network comprises at least one rendering device and a mobile device. This method, known as a “follow-me” method, comprises a detection of a rendering device by the mobile device thanks to a capture by the mobile device of at least an image of the rendering device; an identification of the detected rendering device by the mobile device from among the at least one rendering device; and a rendering of data on the identified rendering device. An associated mobile device configured to render data on a display device of a network and network device implementing the rendering method are further disclosed.

Claims

1-12. -12. (canceled)

13. A method for rendering data in a network, said network comprising at least one rendering device and a mobile device, the method comprising:

detection of a rendering device by said mobile device, said detection comprising a capture by the mobile device of at least an image of said rendering device;

identification of the detected rendering device by the mobile device among the at least one rendering device for rendering the data;

transmission to the network of an item of information representative of said identified rendering device as the rendering device for rendering.

14. The method according to claim 13 wherein the capture by the mobile device of an image of the rendering device is initiated by the pressing by a user of a first determined key of said mobile device or by a first determined movement applied to the mobile device by said user.

15. The method according to claim 13 wherein the identification of the rendering device comprises an object recognition associating a determined rendering device with said image of said rendering device.

16. The method according to claim 13 wherein each rendering device comprises an identifier representative of said rendering device, wherein said image of said rendering device comprises said identifier and wherein the identification of the rendering device comprises a recognition of said identifier associating a determined rendering device with said image.

17. The method according to claim 13 further comprising a preliminary storing of said data to be rendered comprising:

detection of a rendering device by said mobile device;

storage of data displayed on said detected rendering device by said mobile device.

18. The method according to claim 17 wherein the detection of a rendering device in the preliminary storing of said data to be rendered comprises the capture by the mobile device of an image of said rendering device, said capture being initiated by the pressing by a user of a second determined key of said mobile device or by a second determined movement applied to the mobile device by said user.

19. The method according to claim 17 wherein the preliminary storing of said data to be displayed comprises stopping the rendering of said data on said detected rendering device.

20. The method according to claim 17 wherein said mobile device comprises a rendering device and wherein the preliminary storing said data to be displayed comprises the rendering of said data on said rendering device of said mobile device.

21. The method according to claim 13 wherein the detection, identification and transmission are iterated.

22. The method according to claim 13 further comprising a transmission by the mobile device to a device of the network of an item of information representative of said detected rendering device.

24. The mobile device according to claim 21 wherein the capture of an image of the rendering device is initiated by the pressing by a user of a first determined key of said mobile device or by a first determined movement applied to the mobile device by said user.

25. The mobile device according to claim 21 further comprising a rendering device for rendering said data to render.

26. The mobile device according to claim 21 wherein a preliminary storing of said data to be rendered is initiated by a capture of an image of said rendering device by the pressing by a user of a second determined key of said mobile device or by a second determined movement applied to the mobile device by said user.

23. A mobile device configured to render data in a network, said network comprising at least one rendering device and said mobile device;

said mobile device comprising;

a camera for detection of a rendering device and configured to capture at least an image of said rendering device;

a processor configured to identify the detected rendering device for rendering the data among the at least one rendering device;

a communication module to transmit to the network an item of information representative of said identified rendering device.

27. A network device for rendering data in a network, said network comprising at least one rendering device and a mobile device;

said network device comprising a processor configured to;

detect a rendering device from a capture of at least an image of said rendering device by said mobile device;

identify the detected rendering device for rendering the data among the at least one rendering device;

transmit through the network of an item of information representative of said identified rendering device.
