Abstract

A method for automatically establishing a wireless connection between a receiving screen and a mobile wireless device to enable streaming of multimedia data is provided herein. The method comprises the steps of: (i) creating a dynamic image code which includes data enabling wireless connection that is associated with the target screen device; (ii) displaying said image code on the target screen device, until a connection with a mobile wireless device is established; (iii) capturing said dynamic image code by the mobile wireless device; (iv) decoding the dynamic code for retrieving the data enabling wireless connection that is associated with the target screen; and (v) establishing a wireless connection between a target screen device and a mobile wireless device for enabling data streaming by the mobile wireless device based on the retrieved enabling data wireless connection.

Claims (30)

1. A method for automatically establishing a wireless connection between a target screen device and a mobile wireless device to enable streaming of multimedia data, said method comprising the steps of:

automatically creating an initial dynamic image code which includes specific data which enables establishing wireless connection of the mobile device with the target screen device;

displaying said initial dynamic image code on the target screen device, until a connection with a mobile wireless device is established;

capturing said initial dynamic image code by the mobile wireless device;

decoding the initial dynamic image code for retrieving the specific data that are associated with the target screen device, wherein the initial dynamic image code includes connection parameters including wireless network parameters and a stream encryption key;

establishing an initial wireless connection between the target screen device and the mobile wireless device for enabling multimedia data streaming by the mobile wireless device based on the retrieved specific data;

automatically generating and displaying a new dynamic image code on the target screen device when a connection between a mobile wireless device and the target screen device is terminated, wherein the new dynamic image code comprises specific data that includes wireless network parameters having at least one value equal to at least one value of the wireless network parameters of the initial dynamic image code and a new stream encryption key, and

restoring the wireless connection between the target screen device and the mobile wireless device for enabling continued multimedia data streaming by the mobile wireless device based on the specific data from the new dynamic image code.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further includes the step of presenting all available target screen devices by a User Interface (UI) to allow the correct identification of the target screen device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further includes the step of displaying data that is streamed from the mobile wireless device on the target screen device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the specific data includes an identification code of the target screen device, wherein the identification code of the target screen device is used to retrieve wireless connection parameters from a data storage.

5. A system for automatically establishing a wireless connection between a target screen device and a mobile wireless device to enable streaming of multimedia data, the system comprising:

a mobile wireless device comprising:

a dynamic image code decoding software;

a camera;

data; and

a target screen device;

wherein the target screen device is configured to automatically create an initial dynamic image code which includes specific data which enables wireless connection of the mobile device with the target screen device,

wherein the target screen device is configured to display said initial dynamic image code on the target screen device, until a connection with a mobile wireless device is established,

wherein the mobile wireless device is configured to capture said initial dynamic image code,

wherein the mobile wireless device is configured to decode the initial dynamic image code for retrieving the wireless connection parameters that are associated with the target screen device,

wherein the mobile wireless device is configured to establish a wireless connection between the target screen device and the mobile wireless device for enabling multimedia data streaming by the mobile wireless device based on the specific data,

wherein the target screen device is configured to automatically generate and display a new dynamic image code when a connection between a mobile wireless device and the target screen device is terminated, wherein the new dynamic image code includes specific data that includes wireless network parameters having at least one value equal to at least one value of the wireless network parameters of the initial dynamic image code and a new stream encryption key; and

wherein the mobile device is configured to restore the wireless connection with the target screen device for enabling continued multimedia data streaming by the mobile wireless device based on the specific data from the new generated dynamic code.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the dynamic image code decoding software is running on the mobile wireless device.

7. The system of claim 5 , wherein the dynamic image code decoding software is a Software As a Service (SAAS) that is running on a cloud.

8. The system of claim 5 , wherein the mobile wireless device further includes a User Interface (UI) that presents all available target screen devices in order to allow the correct identification of the target screen device.

9. The system of claim 5 , wherein the target screen device is displaying data that is streamed from the mobile wireless device.

10. The system of claim 5 , wherein specific data of the initial dynamic image code that enable connection between a mobile wireless device and the target screen device further includes at least one of: Media Access Control (MAC) address, Service Set Identifier (SSID), WiFi encryption key, PIN-code, Internet Protocol (IP) address, and other parameters.

11. The system of claim 5 , wherein the specific data of the initial and new dynamic image codes includes an identification code of the target screen device, wherein the identification code of the target screen device is used to retrieve wireless connection parameters from a data storage.
