20160188279 | MODE-SWITCH PROTOCOL AND MECHANISM FOR HYBRID WIRELESS DISPLAY SYSTEM WITH SCREENCASTING AND NATIVE GRAPHICS THROWING - Methods and apparatus for implementing a mode-switch protocol and mechanism for hybrid wireless display system with screencasting and native graphics throwing. Under a Mircast implementation, A Wi-Fi Direct (WFD) link is established between WFD source and sink devices, with the WFD source device configured to operate as a Miracast source that streams Miracast content to a Miracast sink that is configured to operate on the WFD sink device using a Miracast mode. The WFD source and sink devices are respectively configured as a native graphics thrower and catcher and support operation in a native graphics throwing mode, wherein the WFD source devices throw at least one of native graphics commands and native graphics content to the WFD sink device. In response to detection that Miracast content has been selected to be played on the WFD source device, the operating mode is switched to the Miracast mode. The mode may also be automatically or selectively switched back to the native graphics throwing mode. The techniques may also be applied to methods and apparatus that support other types of screencasting techniques and both wireless and wired links. | 06-30-2016 |
20160192436 | APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD OF DISCONNECTING A WIRELESS LINK - Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, devices, systems and methods of disconnecting a wireless link. For example, a mobile device may include a radio to communicate with a wireless display in a room to share content from the mobile device on the wireless display over a wireless link between the mobile device and the wireless display; and a controller to determine whether or not the mobile device is out of the room, and, if the mobile device is determined to be out of the room, to initiate disconnection of the wireless link between the mobile device and the wireless display. | 06-30-2016 |
