Abstract

A method and system may detect an external display coupled to the mobile device. A digital input device may be presented on the integrated touch sensitive display of the mobile device to operate the mobile device. Multimedia content may be presented on the external display in response to the operation of the mobile device through the digital input device.

Claims (64)

1. A system to control a television, comprising:

a node, comprising:

a display interface arranged to couple to a television via a high-definition multi-media interface (HDMI) communication channel,

a first wireless interface, and

a second wireless interface,

a remote control, comprising:

at least one physical input button, and

a third wireless interface arranged to send a first control signal to the node, via the third wireless interface and the second wireless interface, the first control signal comprising an indication of a first command to control the television display, the first command generated responsive to an interaction with the at least one physical input button, and

a mobile device, comprising:

a touch sensitive display,

a fourth wireless interface,

a processor, and

at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions, which in response to being executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

present a digital input on the touch sensitive display, the digital input comprising a plurality of digital input buttons to control the television,

detect interaction with at least one digital input button of the plurality of digital input buttons, and

transmit a second control signal to the node, via the fourth wireless interface and the first wireless interface, the second control signal comprising an indication of a second command to control the television.

2. The system of claim 1 , the first command different from the second command.

3. The system of claim 1 , at least one the digital input button of the plurality of digital input buttons different from the at least one input button.

4. The system of claim 1 , the plurality of digital input buttons comprising a play button, a fast forward button, a rewind button, is different from the at least one input button.

5. The system of claim 1 , the third node comprising a microphone, the second command comprising an indication of control words received via the microphone.

6. The system of claim 1 , the display interface a high-definition multi-media interface (HDMI).

7. The system of claim 1 , the second wireless interface and the third wireless interface an infrared (IR) interface.

8. The system of claim 1 , the first wireless interface and the fourth wireless interface a wireless fidelity (WiFi) interface.

9. A system to control a television, comprising:

a node, comprising:

a display interface arranged to couple to a television via a high-definition multi-media interface (HDMI) communication channel,

a first wireless interface, and

a second wireless interface,

a remote control, comprising:

at least one physical input button, and

a third wireless interface arranged to send a first control signal to the node, via the third wireless interface and the second wireless interface, the first control signal comprising an indication of a first command to control the television display, the first command generated responsive to an interaction with the at least one physical input button, and

at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions, which in response to being executed by a processor of a mobile device comprising a touch sensitive display and a fourth wireless interface, cause the processor to:

present a digital input on the touch sensitive display, the digital input comprising a plurality of digital input buttons to control the television,

detect, via the touch sensitive display, interaction with at least one digital input button of the plurality of digital input buttons, and

transmit a second control signal to the node, via the fourth wireless interface and the first wireless interface, the second control signal comprising an indication of a second command to control the television.

10. The system of claim 9 , the first command different from the second command.

11. The system of claim 9 , at least one the digital input button of the plurality of digital input buttons different from the at least one input button.

12. The system of claim 9 , the plurality of digital input buttons comprising a play button, a fast forward button, a rewind button, is different from the at least one input button.

13. The system of claim 9 , the third node comprising a microphone, the second command comprising an indication of control words received via the microphone.

14. The system of claim 9 , the display interface a high-definition multi-media interface (HDMI).

15. The system of claim 9 , the second wireless interface and the third wireless interface an infrared (IR) interface.

16. A system comprising:

a first node, comprising:

a display interface arranged to couple to an external display via a communication interface,

a first wireless interface, and

a second wireless interface,

a second node, comprising:

at least one input button, and

a third wireless interface arranged to send a first control signal to the first node, via the third wireless interface and the second wireless interface, the first control signal comprising an indication of a first command to control the external display, the first command generated responsive to an interaction with the at least one input button, and

a third node, comprising:

a touch sensitive display,

a fourth wireless interface,

a processor, and

at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions, which in response to being executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

present a digital input on the touch sensitive display, the digital input comprising a plurality of digital input buttons to control the external display,

detect interaction with at least one digital input button of the plurality of digital input buttons, and

transmit a second control signal to the first node, via the fourth wireless interface and the first wireless interface, the second control signal comprising an indication of a second command to control the external display.

17. The system of claim 16 , the first command different from the second command.

18. The system of claim 16 , at least one the digital input button of the plurality of digital input buttons different from the at least one input button.

19. The system of claim 16 , the plurality of digital input buttons comprising a play button, a fast forward button, a rewind button, is different from the at least one input button.

20. The system of claim 16 , the third node comprising a microphone, the second command comprising an indication of control words received via the microphone.

21. The system of claim 16 , the display interface a high-definition multi-media interface (HDMI).

22. The system of claim 16 , the second wireless interface and the third wireless interface an infrared (IR) interface.

23. The system of claim 16 , the first wireless interface and the fourth wireless interface a wireless fidelity (WiFi) interface.
