Abstract

Screen content from a first telecommunication device, such as a smartphone, is cast wirelessly and received by a second telecommunications device. The received screen content is formatted for presentation on the second telecommunications device. Screen content from among the received screen content may be selected for transmitting to a third telecommunications device. The selected screen content is transmitted to the third telecommunications device for presentation on a virtual screen of the third telcommunications device.

Claims (32)

1. A method for presenting screen content, comprising:

receiving screen content presented on a screen of a first telecommunication device at a second telecommunication device, wherein the screen content is cast wirelessly from the first telecommunication device directly to the second communication device, and wherein the first telecommunication device is a smartphone;

formatting the received screen content for presentation on at the second telecommunications device; and

presenting the formatted received screen content for display on a virtual screen of the second telecommunications device, such that the received content appears on the virtual screen of the second telecommunications device virtually the same as the screen content appears on the screen of the first telecommunications device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the screen content is received, formatted, and presented in substantially real time.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second telecommunication device is a smartphone.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

selecting screen content from among the received screen content for transmitting to at least one third telecommunications device; and

transmitting the selected screen content to the at least one third telecommunications device for presentation on a virtual screen of the at least one third telecommunications device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selected screen content is received and formatted by the at least one third telecommunication device for presentation on the at least one third telecommunications device.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the screen content includes at least one of static content and dynamic content, and wherein the static content and dynamic content include at least one of video content and audio content.

7. A device for presenting information, comprising:

a transceiver for receiving screen content from a telecommunication device, wherein the screen content is cast wirelessly from the telecommunication device directly to the transceiver, and wherein the telecommunication device is a smartphone;

a processor: and

a memory having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

formatting the received screen content for presentation on the device; and

presenting the formatted received screen content from the telecommunication device for display on a virtual screen of the device, such that the received content appears on the virtual screen of the device virtually the same as the screen content appears on the screen of the telecommunications device.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the screen content is received, formatted, and presented in substantially real time.

9. The device of claim 7 , wherein the device is a smartphone.

10. The device of claim 7 , wherein the memory further has instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to select screen content from among the received screen content for transmitting to at least one other telecommunications device, and the transceiver transmits the selected screen content to the at least one other telecommunications device for presentation on a virtual screen of the at least one other telecommunications device.

11. The device of claim 7 , wherein the received screen content includes at least one of static content and dynamic content, and the static content and the dynamic content include at least one of video content and audio content.

12. A non-transitory computer program product including a storage medium upon which instructions are recorded that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for presenting screen content, the method comprising:

receiving screen content from a first telecommunications device at a second telecommunication device, wherein the screen content is cast wirelessly from the first telecommunication device directly to the second telecommunication device, and wherein the first telecommunication device is a smartphone;

formatting the received screen content for presentation on the second telecommunications device; and

presenting for display the formatted received screen content from the first telecommunications device on a virtual screen of the second telecommunications device, such that the received content appears on the virtual screen of the second telecommunications device virtually the same as the screen content appears on the screen of the first telecommunications device.

13. The non-transitory computer program product of claim 12 , wherein the screen content is received, formatted, and presented in substantially real time.

14. The non-transitory computer program product of claim 12 , wherein the second telecommunication device is a smartphone.

15. The non-transitory computer program product of claim 12 , wherein the method further comprises:

selecting screen content from among the received content for transmitting to at least a third telecommunications device; and

transmitting the selected screen content to the at least one third telecommunications device for presentation on a virtual screen of the at least one other telecommunications device.

16. The non-transitory computer program product of claim 12 , wherein the selected screen content is received and formatted by the at least one third telecommunication device for presentation on the at least one third telecommunications device.

17. The non-transitory computer program product of claim 12 , wherein the received screen content includes at least one of static and dynamic content, and wherein the static content and dynamic content include at least one of video content and audio content.
