Abstract
Disclosed are an apparatus and method of communicating between a mobile device and a host computing device. One example method of operation may include sensing a wireless communication signal at the host computing device, establishing a wireless connection between the mobile device and the host computing device via the wireless communication signal, and migrating at least one application from the mobile device to the host computing device. The ongoing communication between the mobile device and the host computing device enables applications to be executed on one device and accessed via the other device, providing a user with the capability to operate more than one device at a time.
Claims20
A method of communicating between a mobile device and a host computing device, the method comprising:
- establishing a wireless connection between the mobile device and the host computing device;
- migrating control for at least one application and corresponding functions of the at least one application from the host computing device to the mobile device, wherein the migrating of the control comprises moving functionality of the at least one application and the corresponding functions from an input of the host computing device to being controlled through a touch screen of the mobile device;
- and
- transferring and running a data file on the mobile device or the host computing device based on a default optimization configuration when the user accesses the data file, the default optimization configuration based on a data rate that the mobile device established during a previous connection.
A mobile apparatus configured to communicate with a host computing device, the mobile apparatus comprising:
- a transmitter configured to establish a wireless connection with the host computing device;
- a touch screen configured to receive input from a user;
- and
- a processor configured to migrate control for at least one application and corresponding functions of the at least one application from the host computing device to the mobile apparatus, wherein the migrating of the control comprises moving functionality of the at least one application and the corresponding functions from an input of the host computing device to being controlled through the touch screen of the mobile apparatus, wherein
- the processor is configured to transfer and run a data file on the mobile apparatus or the host computing device based on a default optimization configuration when the user accesses the data file, the default optimization configuration based on a data rate that the mobile apparatus established during a previous connection.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to facilitate communication between a mobile device and a host computing device, the processor further configured to:
- establish a wireless connection between the mobile device and the host computing device;
- migrate control for at least one application and corresponding functions of the at least one application from the host computing device to the mobile device, wherein the migrating of the control comprises moving functionality of the at least one application and the corresponding functions from an input of the host computing device to being controlled through a touch screen of the mobile device;
- use the mobile device as a host source for an environment of an application when the application is a non-streaming application;
- and
- use whichever of the mobile device and the host computing device has a connection with a greatest data rate and stability higher data rate as a host Internet source for the environment of the application when the application is a streaming application, wherein
- a default optimization configuration of the mobile device is based on a data rate that the mobile apparatus established during a previous connection.
