Method for wireless data transfer

A method for wireless data transfer, performed by a first multimedia device, for exchanging data with a second multimedia device, in which the first multimedia device and the second multimedia device are connected via a point-to-point wireless connection that is operable according to a first wireless data transfer standard and to a second wireless data transfer standard, and in which the first wireless data transfer standard and the second wireless data transfer standard are different from and /not compatible with each other, said method comprising:

• receiving a data transmission, by the second multimedia device, including data transmitted according to the first wireless data transfer standard from the first multimedia device;
• thereafter, adaptation layer processing in which, after the data transmission has switched from being received by the second multimedia device according to the first wireless data transfer standard to being received according to the second wireless data transfer standard without interruption of the data transmission, a standard conversion is performed by the second multimedia device, the standard conversion including processing data transmitted in the data transmission according to the second wireless data transfer standard to obtain connection commands, connection parameters, and connection data according to the first wireless data transfer standard;
• connection layer processing in which the connection commands, connection parameters, and connection data resulting from the adaptation layer processing are converted into respective application commands, application parameters, and application data according to the first wireless data transfer standard;
• and
• an application data processing executed by the second multimedia device, wherein the converted application commands, application parameters, and application data resulting from the connection layer processing are provided to an application of the first multimedia device.

A multimedia device connectable with a further multimedia device via a point-to-point wireless connection that is operable according to a first wireless data transfer standard and to a second wireless data transfer standard, in which the first wireless data transfer standard and the second wireless data transfer standard are different from and/not compatible with each other, the multimedia device comprising:

• a connection layer configured to receive application commands, application parameters, and application data of the first wireless data transfer standard from an application layer, and further configured to process the application commands, application parameters, and application data to generate respective connection commands, connection parameters, and connection data according to the first wireless data transfer standard, the application layer providing access to a data storage unit of the multimedia device which stores data;
• a transmission unit configured to transmit a data transmission including the connection commands, connection parameters, and connection data generated by the connection layer according to the first wireless data transfer standard;
• a managing unit configured to determine whether to switch from the transmitting the data transmission according to the first wireless data transfer standard to transmitting the data transmission according to the second wireless data transfer standard, the managing unit further configured to seamlessly switch from transmitting the data transmission according to the first wireless data transfer standard to transmitting the data transmission according to the second wireless data transfer standard, when transmitting the data stored in the data storage unit, after the connection layer has generated the connection commands, connection parameters, and connection data according to the first wireless data transfer standard;
• and
• an adaptation layer configured to, after the managing unit switches from transmitting the data transmission according to the first wireless data transfer standard to transmitting the data transmission according to the second wireless data transfer standard when transmitting the data stored in the data storage unit, perform a standard conversion, the standard conversion including converting the connection commands, connection parameters, and connection data generated by the connection layer into respective processed connection commands, processed connection parameters, and processed connection data according to the second wireless data transfer standard, wherein
• the transmission unit is configured to transmit the data transmission, including the processed connection commands, processed connection parameters, and processed connection data resulting from the adaptation layer via the wireless connection according to the second wireless data transfer standard Go as to transmit the data stored in the data storage unit.
