  • Publication number: 20140218380
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided in which a digital image is transmitted to a presentation projector resource over a wireless transmission medium using a reduced amount of bandwidth by transmitting a subset of the digital image data. The subset of image data may be a delta subset that represents those areas of the image that have changed since the previous transmission. The subset image data may also be a scalable vector graphics representation of the subset of the digital image. A projector discovery logic selects a suitable projector resource based on the order or signal strength of the discovery replies. A wireless image transmission session is established with the selected projector resource during which the projector is unavailable to other devices. The subset image data may be compressed and transmission coordinated with the projector resource so that the data is sent only when it is ready to be received.

  • Patent number: 7350923
    Abstract: In a computing device configured to be connected to a wireless network, a method of projecting an image via a projection device over the wireless network, is provided, wherein the projection device is connected to the wireless network via an image-rendering device configured to receive data over the wireless network. The method includes detecting the image-rendering device over the wireless network, presenting a display identifying the image-rendering device to a user, receiving selection of the image-rendering device by the user and sending data representing the image from the computing device to the image-rendering device over the wireless network for projection by the projection device.
