Communicating content and call information over WiFi
A computing device may send using bluetooth a signal to find another computing device having a display device. The computing device and the another computing device may be registered to a same user and proximate to each other. Content is communicated to display on the display device using a WiFi network. The Wi-Fi network may also be utilized to communicate a notification of an incoming call.
1. A wireless entertainment device comprising:
a processor configured to send, using short range communication, a poll to contact a first sink device having a first display device, wherein the wireless entertainment device and the first sink device are registered to a wireless hub and proximate to each other in a first zone and wherein a low power mode is utilized in relation to the poll;
a transmitter configured to communicate, in relation to the poll, content to display on the first display device using a WiFi network
and to communicate, by utilization of the WiFi network, a notification of an incoming call;
wherein caller identification associated with the incoming call is displayed on a display of the wireless entertainment device and the first display device;
wherein the content and voice data of the incoming call are directly transferred to a second sink device, registered to the wireless hub, in a second zone based on a location change of the wireless entertainment device; and wherein characteristics of the wireless entertainment device are automatically sent to adjust the second sink device.
2. The wireless entertainment device of claim 1 further comprising:
the transmitter and a memory, of the wireless entertainment device, are configured to substantially simultaneously send a first video output to display on the first display device and a second video output to display on another display device.
3. The wireless entertainment device of claim 2 , wherein the first video output and the second video output are different.
4. The wireless entertainment device of claim 2 , wherein the second video output includes complimentary content to the first video output.
5. The wireless entertainment device of claim 2 , wherein the second video output includes an alternate view of the first video output.
6. The wireless entertainment device of claim 2 , wherein the wireless entertainment device is further configured to receive gestural input of a user.
7. The wireless entertainment device of claim 2 , wherein the wireless entertainment device is further configured to receive an audible input from a user and perform a function in response to the audible input.
8. The wireless entertainment device of claim 6 , wherein the wireless entertainment device is further configured to change a television channel on the first display device in response to the received gestural input of the user.
9. A method performed by a wireless entertainment device, the method comprising:
sending, by the wireless entertainment device using short range communication, a poll to contact a first sink device having a first display device, wherein the wireless entertainment device and the first sink device are registered to a wireless hub and proximate to each other in a first zone and wherein a low power mode is utilized in relation to the poll;
communicating, by the wireless entertainment device in relation to the poll, content to display on the first display device using a WiFi network;
communicating, by the wireless entertainment device by utilization of the WiFi network, a notification of an incoming call;
wherein caller identification associated with the incoming call is displayed on a display of the wireless entertainment device and the first display device;
wherein the content and voice data of the incoming call are directly transferred to a second sink device, registered to the wireless hub, in a second zone based on a location change of the wireless entertainment device; and wherein characteristics of the wireless entertainment device are automatically sent to adjust the second sink device.
10. The method of claim 9 further comprising:
sending, substantially simultaneously by the wireless entertainment device, a first video output to display on the first display device and a second video output to display on another display device.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the first video output and the second video output are different.
12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the second video output includes complimentary content to the first video output.
13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the second video output includes an alternate view of the first video output.
14. The method of claim 10 further comprising:
receiving, by the wireless entertainment device, a gestural input of a user.
15. The method of claim 10 further comprising:
receiving, by the wireless entertainment device, an audible input from a user; and
performing, by the wireless entertainment device, a function in response to the audible input.
16. The method of claim 14 further comprising:
changing, by the wireless entertainment device, a television channel on the first display device in response to the received gestural input of the user.
