1-20. (canceled)
A content presentation device, comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- wirelessly receive, from a wireless communication device, a frame indicating an application to be executed at the content presentation device, the circuitry being configured to receive the frame without an established direct wireless connection with the wireless communication device, wherein the frame includes at least one of:
- information about a role of at least one of the wireless communication device or the content presentation device,
- information about at least one of a protocol or a port number associated with the application, or
- information about a capability associated with the application;
- establish a direct wireless connection with the wireless communication device after wirelessly receiving the frame from the wireless communication device;
- and
- receive, using the direct wireless connection, content data from the wireless communication device based on execution of the application at the wireless communication device.
A method of a content presentation device, comprising:
- wirelessly receiving, from a wireless communication device, a frame indicating an application to be executed at the content presentation device, the frame being received without an established direct wireless connection with the wireless communication device, wherein the frame includes at least one of:
- information about a role of at least one of the wireless communication device or the content presentation device,
- information about at least one of a protocol or a port number associated with the application, or
- information about a capability associated with the application;
- establishing a direct wireless connection with the wireless communication device after wirelessly receiving the frame from the wireless communication device;
- and
- receiving, using the direct wireless connection, content data from the wireless communication device based on execution of the application at the wireless communication device.
A method of a wireless communication device, comprising:
- wirelessly transmitting to a content presentation device a frame indicating an application to be executed at the content presentation device, including transmitting the frame without an established direct wireless connection with the content presentation device, wherein the frame includes at least one of:
- information about a role of at least one of the wireless communication device or the content presentation device,
- information about at least one of a protocol or a port number associated with the application, or
- information about a capability associated with the application;
- establishing a direct wireless connection with the content presentation device after wirelessly transmitting the frame;
- and
- transmitting, using the direct wireless connection, content data to the content presentation device based on execution of the application at the wireless communication device.
A wireless communication device, comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- wirelessly transmit to a content presentation device a frame indicating an application to be executed at the content presentation device, the circuitry being configured to transmit the frame without an established direct wireless connection with the content presentation device, wherein the frame includes at least one of:
- information about a role of at least one of the wireless communication device or the content presentation device,
- information about at least one of a protocol or a port number associated with the application, or
- information about a capability associated with the application;
- establish a direct wireless connection with the content presentation device after wirelessly transmitting the frame;
- and
- transmit, using the direct wireless connection, content data to the content presentation device based on execution of the application at the wireless communication device.
