Energy-efficient transmission of content over a wireless connection

A computing device, comprising:

• one or more processing units;
• memory;
• a Wi-Fi radio;
• and
• one or more computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions for causing the computing device to perform operations for energy efficient transmission of content, comprising:
• generating a plurality of slide presentation elements for a slide presentation;
• transmitting the plurality of slide presentation elements to a second computing device for playback by the second computing device;
• placing the Wi-Fi radio into a low power mode;
• and
• upon detecting a presentation event:
• exiting the low power mode;
• transmitting a presentation command to the second computing device, wherein the presentation command is a command to control the slide presentation for the plurality of slide presentation elements;
• and
• placing the Wi-Fi radio into the low power mode.

A method, implemented at least in part by a first computing device comprising a wireless radio and a processing unit, for energy efficient transmission of content, the method comprising:

• by the first computing device:
• generating a plurality of slide presentation elements for a slide presentation;
• transmitting the plurality of slide presentation elements to a second computing device for playback by the second computing device;
• placing the wireless radio into a low power mode;
• and
• upon detecting a presentation event:
• exiting the low power mode;
• transmitting a presentation command to the second computing device, wherein the presentation command is a command to control the slide presentation for the plurality of slide presentation elements;
• and
• placing the wireless radio into the low power mode.
