Abstract

An information processing device is an information processing device that receives a stream for outputting image information from another information processing device through wireless communication, and includes a wireless communication unit and a control unit. The wireless communication unit performs communication with another information processing device so as to exchange the capability information about the information processing device and the capability information about the other information processing device. The control unit sets a power consumption mode in the other information processing device based on the capability information about the other information processing device.

3. The first information processing device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the management information is related to management of identification information of the second information processing device and the second capability information, and

wherein the identification information is associated with the second capability information.

4. The first information processing device according to claim 3 ,

wherein the management information includes, as the second capability information, at least one of first information about radio wave propagation measurement of the wireless communication or second information about power consumption by the second information processing device, and

wherein the wireless communication is between the first information processing device and the second information processing device.

5. The first information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein the management information includes, as the second capability information, at least third information of an output format to display image information.

6. The first information processing device according to claim 5 , wherein

the third information indicates that the image information is one of a main display or a sub-display, and

the circuitry is further configured to set the low power consumption mode in the second information processing device based on the output format that indicates the sub-display.

7. The first information processing device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the second information processing device transmits timing information to the first information processing device based on a switching process between the main display and the sub-display, and

wherein the timing information indicates a time associated with the switching process.

8. The first information processing device according to claim 2 ,

wherein at least one component of the second information processing device sleeps for a time interval in the low power consumption mode of the second information processing device.

9. The first information processing device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the circuitry is further configured to transmit a command to the second information processing device based on a change of the management information, and

wherein the command is to notify the change of the management information to the second information processing device.

10. The first information processing device according to claim 9 ,

wherein the circuitry is further configured to transmit a RTSP Message as the command to the second information processing device, and

wherein the RTSP Message contains a Wi-Fi display (wfd)-triggered-method defined in Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast specifications.

11. The first information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to set a power consumption mode with a RTSP message defined in Wi-Fi Display specifications.

12. The first information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the circuitry is further configured to exchange the first capability information and second capability information through one of capability negotiation or capability re-negotiation, and

wherein the capability negotiation and the capability re-negotiation are defined in Wi-Fi Display specifications.

13. The first information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the first capability information and second capability information are exchangeable in a RTSP Message in at least one of capability negotiation or capability re-negotiation.

14. The first information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:

communicate with the second information processing device based on one of a first frequency band or a second frequency band, wherein a first data transmission rate of the second frequency band is higher than a second data transmission rate of the first frequency band, and

set one of a first power consumption mode for the first frequency band or a second power consumption mode for the second frequency band.

15. The first information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:
