To allow a second screen device to discover virtualized over-the top (OTT) application, a first screen device can act as a proxy DIAL server device. The proxy DIAL server device can utilize the DIAL protocol to communicate with the second screen device and transmit requests for one or more OTT applications from the second screen device to a network resource that hosts the one or more OTT applications. The proxy DIAL server device can act as a bridge between the second screen device and the network resource so as to facilitate the establishment of a communication connection between the second screen device and the network resource, for example, a virtual OTT application hosted by the network resource. Once the communication connection is established, the second screen device can request that content accessible via a selected virtual OTT application hosted by the network resource be displayed at the first screen device.
A method for a proxy discovery and launch (DIAL) server device to establish a connection between a virtual over-the-top (OTT) application of a network resource and a DIAL client device, the method comprising:
A proxy discovery and launch (DIAL) server device for establishing a connection between a virtual over-the-top (OTT) application at a network resource and a DIAL client device, comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium of a proxy discovery and launch (DIAL) server device storing one or more instructions for establishing a connection between a virtual over-the-top (OTT) application of a network resource and a DIAL client device, which when executed by a processor of the proxy DIAL server device, cause the proxy DIAL server device to perform one or more operations comprising:
