Asynchronous quick connect for low-latency transitions of content presentation between two devices

An electronic device comprising:

• a transmitter;
• a receiver;
• a first clock
• a device interface communicatively coupled to a second device;
• a memory having a user interface application and a queue for containing output data;
• a controller comprising a processor communicatively coupled to the transmitter, the memory, and the device interface, the processor executing program code to enable the electronic device to:
• transmit an out-of-band frame sync signal by the device interface to the second device to prompt the second device to synchronize a second clock of the second device with the first clock of the electronic device and to one of:
• (i) connect;
• and (ii) reconnect an in-band over-the-air (OTA) communication session with the electronic device;
• establish the in-band OTA communication session, the establishment expedited by the out-of-band frame sync signal;
• and
• transmit output data, via the in-band OTA session, by the transmitter to the second device to present the output data on a second user output device of the second device.

A computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage device;
• and
• program code on the computer readable storage device that when executed by a processor associated with a first device, the program code enables the first device to provide the functionality of:
• transmitting an out-of-band frame sync signal by a first device to a second device to prompt the second device to synchronize second clock of the second device with a first clock of the first device and to one of:
• (i) connect;
• and (ii) reconnect an over-the-air (OTA) communication session with the first device;
• establishing the OTA communication session that is expedited by the out-of-band frame sync signal;
• and
• transmitting output data, via the in-band OTA session, by the first device to the second device to present the output data on a second user output device of the second device.
