  • Publication number: 20210303058
    Abstract: Screen casting on between two devices is described. In an example implementation, a communication link is established by a first device with a second device for casting a screen of the second device on the first device. Upon establishing the communication link, a command message is sent by the first device to the second device to set a backlight of the screen of the second device based on user backlight settings. When no user activity is detected on the second device for a specific time period, a request message is received by the first device from the second device, indicating switching the backlight of the screen of the second device to power-saving backlight settings. In response to the request message, a command message is sent by the first device to the second device to set the backlight of the screen of the second device based on the power-saving backlight settings.

  • Patent number: 11039370
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed in which smart routing of a signal from a Wi-Fi device to an Access Point (AP) is performed by consulting a dynamic mesh network of measured path information between entities in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). The WLAN consists of at least two possible paths between the Wi-Fi device and the AP, and each path may include one or more sub-paths. The measured path information consists of Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) and Quality Indication (QI) measurements. The dynamic mesh network is generated by APs performing beamforming operations with other APs in the WLAN and obtaining distinct RSSI and QI for each measured path. The measured RSSI and QI of each path, for both the 2.4 and 5.0 GHz bands, is added to the mesh network. Wi-Fi devices entering the WLAN consult the mesh network to determine the optimum connectivity path to the AP, thus avoiding routing through an unnecessary number of additional APs as well as APs with an already heavy payload.
