Abstract
Systems and methods for providing services are disclosed. One method can comprise receiving data having a first format and transmitting the data to a first device. The method may also comprise detecting a second device, automatically recognizing a supported second format of the detected second device, converting the data to the second format, and transmitting the converted data to the second device via wireless communication.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a discovery element, first content, wherein the first content is in a first format;
- sending, to an output device, the first content;
- determining a user device;
- determining that the user device is associated with a second format;
- receiving, from the user device, second content, wherein the second content is in the second format;
- converting the second content from the second format to the first format;
- and
- generating, by the discovery element, an output to be rendered at the output device, wherein the output comprises one or more of the first content or the converted second content.
5 more elements
A method comprising:
- determining, by a discovery element, a user device;
- determining that the user device is associated with content in a first format;
- requesting, from the user device, the content in the first format;
- receiving, based on the requesting the content in the first format, the content in the first format;
- converting at least a portion of the content to a second format;
- and
- causing an output device to output at least a portion of the content in the first format or at least a portion of the content in the second format as one or more of merged content or overlaid content.
4 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory storing processor executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
- receive first content, wherein the first content is in a first format;
- send, to an output device, the first content;
- determine a user device;
- determine that the user device is associated with a second format;
- receive, from the user device, second content, wherein the second content is in the second format;
- convert the second content from the second format to the first format;
- and
- generate an output to be rendered at the output device, wherein the output comprises one or more of the first content or the converted second content.
