Abstract

Example methods and apparatus to display information are described. On example method includes a method including a mobile device exchanging information with at least one other mobile device; controlling transmission of media, to the mobile device and the at least one other mobile device, based on attributes of the mobile devices; and presenting the received media.

Claims (39)

1 . A mobile device comprising:

a projector to present images;

a communication subsystem to exchange information with at least one other mobile device;

a controller to control transmission of media, to the mobile device and the at least one other mobile device, based on attributes of the mobile device and the at least one other mobile device.

2 . The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the communication subsystem receives attributes of the at least one other mobile device.

3 . The mobile device of claim 2 , wherein the attributes of the at least one other mobile device comprise data connectivity information.

4 . The mobile device of claim 2 , wherein data connectivity information comprises one or more of communication signal quality, data communication speed, or data network connectivity.

5 . The mobile device of claim 2 , wherein the attributes comprise one or more of remaining battery life or processing speed.

7 . The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the communication subsystem exchanges information with the at least one other mobile.

8 . The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the controller controls transmission of media to the mobile device and the at least one other mobile device.

9 . The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the controller directs the transmission of media to the mobile device and the at least one other mobile device.

10 . A mobile device comprising:

a projector to present images;

a communication subsystem to exchange information with at least one other mobile device;

a controller to control presentation of media based on attributes of the mobile device and attributes of the at least one other mobile device.

11 . The mobile device of claim 10 , wherein the communication subsystem receives attributes of the at least one other mobile device.

12 . The mobile device of claim 11 , wherein the attributes of the at least one other mobile device comprise data connectivity information.

13 . The mobile device of claim 11 , wherein the attributes comprise one or more of remaining battery life, processing speed, or projector capabilities.

14 . The mobile device of claim 10 , wherein the communication subsystem exchanges information directly with the at least one other mobile device.

15 . The mobile device of claim 10 , wherein the controller directs presentation of media by the mobile device and the at least one other mobile device.

16 . The mobile device of claim 10 , wherein the controller directs presentation of media by the mobile device and the at least one other mobile device.

17 . A method for execution by a mobile device, the method comprising:

exchanging information with at least one other mobile device;

controlling transmission of media based on attributes of the mobile device and attributes of the at least one other mobile device; and

presenting the received media.

18 . The method of claim 17 , further comprising receiving attributes of the at least one other mobile device.

19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the attributes of the at least one other mobile device comprise data connectivity information.

20 . The method of claim 18 , wherein data connectivity information comprises one or more of communication signal quality, data communication speed, or data network connectivity.

21 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the attributes comprise one or more of remaining battery life or processing speed.

22 . The method of claim 17 , further comprising controlling transmission of media to the mobile device and the at least one other mobile device.

23 . The method of claim 17 , further comprising directing the transmission of media to the mobile device and the at least one other mobile device.

24 . A method for execution by a mobile device, the method comprising:

exchanging information with at least one other mobile device; and

controlling presentation of media based on attributes of the mobile device and attributes of the at least one other mobile device.

25 . The method of claim 24 , wherein further comprising receiving attributes of the at least one other mobile device.

26 . The method of claim 25 , wherein the attributes of the at least one other mobile device comprise data connectivity information.

27 . The method of claim 25 , wherein the attributes comprise one or more of remaining battery life, processing speed, or projector capabilities.

28 . The method of claim 24 , further comprising directing presentation of media by the mobile device and the at least one other mobile device.

29 . The method of claim 24 , further comprising directing presentation of media by the mobile device and the at least one other mobile device.
