Abstract: Disclosed are methods, circuits, devices and associated executable code for facilitating transmission, reception and presentation (e.g. rendering) of video information/signals on a video display unit such as a flat-screen display, a touchscreen and/or a tablet computing platform. There may be provided a video display unit adapted to receive video signals through two or more video signal paths, wherein one of the signal paths (i.e. a first signal path) may be a wired signal path. Another signal path (i.e. a second signal path) may be a wireless signal path. The display unit may be matched or paired to a matched computing platform. The paired matched computing platform may send video signals to the display unit along the wired signal path, e.g. when the display unit is docked with the matched computing platform. The paired matched computing platform may send video signals to the display unit along the wireless signal path, e.g. when the display unit is disconnected from the matched computing platform.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, circuits and systems for wireless transmission of a video signal from a computing platform. There is provided a video and/or audio signal source device such as a laptop computer. The video and/or audio signal source device may include a Display Mini Card (DMC) System Connector. The video and/or audio signal source device may include a Mini Card (HMC or FMC) System Connector, and/or a Display Port (DP) connector. There may be provided a Display Mini Card (DMC) or a Mini Card (FMC or HMC) which may include electrical circuits adapted to receive video and/or audio signals from the DMC System Connector or the DP connector of the video and/or audio signal source device. Received video and/or audio signals may be transmitted to a functionally associated video/audio receiver. The electrical circuits of the Display Mini Card (DMC) or the Mini Card (FMC or HMC) may be adapted to transmit a video and/or audio signal using a video link such as WHDI, WIFI DIRECT or WIFI DISPLAY.

Abstract: A display and input appliance may include one or more wireless communication circuits for wirelessly communicating with a functionally associated processing core or engine. The core may include one or more processors adapted to execute an application and to communicate visual output of the application to the appliance through a wireless communication link established between the appliance's communication circuits and one or more wireless communication circuits associated with the core. Communication may be bidirectional—for example: (1) the core may transmit video and audio streams to the appliance, and (2) the appliance may transmit detected user inputs (e.g. touch, accelerometer input, gyroscope input, GPS, etc.) to the core.

Abstract: A portable, data storage device, player, playback device, data streaming device, audio player, video player, audio and video player, satellite radio device, cellular phone (with an integrated audio and/or video player), PDA (personal digital assistant), PMP (portable media player), gaming device, handheld and/or mobile device, each embedded with inherent audio and/or video playing/playback capabilities, attached to a docking station or cradle via a single or plural audio/video connectors, wirelessly transmitting audio and/or video and/or control data via infrared optical signals to a set of remote wireless receiving device/s, speaker/s and/or video reproduction device/s.
