Abstract
A multimedia content redirection method is provided. The multimedia content redirection method reproduces media content at a sink node employing enhanced media reproduction performance by redirecting a current media content being reproduced to the sink node when the sink node, such as audio device or media player, capable of reproducing multimedia contents is discovered in a network while a source node such as mobile terminal is reproducing the media content in an ad-hoc network.
Claims22
A multimedia content redirection method for redirecting a multimedia content to a remote sink node in proximity and reproducing the multimedia content at the sink node, comprising:
- reproducing multimedia content locally;
- searching a proximity for a sink node;
- determining whether it is possible to redirect the multimedia content to the sink node;
- establishing a connection to the sink node;
- dynamically extending functions of the sink node;
- and
- redirecting the multimedia content to the sink node.
A multimedia content redirection method for receiving and reproducing a redirected multimedia content from a source node which locally reproduces the multimedia content, comprising:
- receiving a connection ready message from the source node;
- determining whether a function extension is required to receive a redirected multimedia content;
- requesting and receiving a mobile code from the source node;
- dynamically extending functions based on the received mobile code when the function extension is required;
- connecting a media player to the multimedia content;
- and
- receiving the redirected multimedia content from the source node.
A computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for executing a multimedia content redirection method for redirecting a multimedia content to a remote sink node in proximity and reproducing the multimedia content at the sink node, the instructions comprising:
- a first set of instructions for reproducing multimedia content locally;
- a second set of instructions for searching a proximity for a sink node;
- a third set of instructions for determining whether it is possible to redirect the multimedia content to the sink node;
- a fourth set of instructions for establishing a connection to the sink node;
- a fifth set of instructions for dynamically extending functions of the sink node;
- and
- a sixth set of instructions for redirecting the multimedia content to the sink node.
