Abstract

Various techniques for enhancing wireless networks and/or devices that can receive wireless signals are disclosed.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

generating, by a network device, data comprising video, the video streamed to a remote device;

receiving, by the network device, orientation data identifying an orientation of the remote device, wherein the orientation of the remote device is based on an accelerometer;

altering, by the network device, the orientation of the data comprising video based on the orientation of the remote device that is based on the accelerometer; and

sending, by the network device, the altered orientation of the data comprising video to the remote device.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving the data comprising video from a website.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

encoding user profile information into the data comprising video.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

encoding an advertisement into the data comprising video.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

encoding a message conforming to a simple mail message protocol into the data comprising video.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

submitting a bid to an arbiter in response to receiving a request for a data channel from the device, the bid comprising a price per block of datum transferred to the device; and

receiving an indication that the bid was accepted and the data channel was allocated to the device.

18. The method of claim 1, wherein the remote device is a mobile phone.

19. The method of claim 1, wherein the altering the orientation of the data comprising the video comprises changing a way that frames of video are encoded into packets.

7. A network device comprising:

a processor; and

memory coupled to the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising;

generating data comprising video, the video streamed to a mobile device;

receiving orientation data identifying an orientation of the mobile device, wherein the orientation of the mobile device is based on an accelerometer;

altering the orientation of the data comprising video based on the orientation of the mobile device that is based on the accelerometer; and

sending the altered orientation of the data comprising video to the device.

8. The system of claim 7, the operations further comprising:

receiving the data comprising video from a website.

9. The system of claim 7, the operations further comprising:

encoding user profile information into the data comprising video.

10. The system of claim 7, the operations further comprising:

encoding an advertisement into the data comprising video.

11. The system of claim 7, the operations further comprising:

encoding a message conforming to a simple mail message protocol into the data comprising the video.

12. The system of claim 7, the operations further comprising:

submitting a bid to an arbiter in response to receiving a request for a data channel from the device, the bid comprising a price per block of datum transferred to the device; and

receiving an indication that the bid was accepted and the data channel was allocated to the device.

13. A computer readable storage medium that is not a propagating signal, the computer-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:

generating data comprising video, the video streamed to a remote device;

receiving orientation data identifying an orientation of the remote device, wherein the orientation of the remote device is based on an accelerometer;

altering orientation of the data comprising video based on the orientation of the remote device that is based on the accelerometer; and

sending the altered orientation of the data comprising video to the remote device.

14. The computer readable storage medium of claim 13, the operations further comprising:

encoding user profile information into the data comprising video.

15. The computer readable storage medium of claim 13, the operations further comprising:

encoding an advertisement into the data comprising video.

16. The computer readable storage medium of claim 13, the operations further comprising:

encoding a message conforming to a simple mail message protocol into the data comprising video.

17. The computer readable storage medium of claim 13, the operations further comprising:

submitting a bid to an arbiter in response to receiving a request for a data channel from the device, the bid comprising a price per block of datum transferred to the device; and

receiving an indication that the bid was accepted and the data channel was allocated to the device.
