![]() ![]() a mobile phone or tablet), or a Windows device, such as a mobile phone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer, and a Miracast/Chromecast capable receiver. To mirror devices from these vendors, one needs a Miracast or Chromecast capable sending device such as an Android mobile computing device (e.g. Other vendors that utilize Microsoft Windows or Google Android operating systems are making use of different solutions such as Miracast () or Chromecast (). Apple TV is a hardware solution while other receivers, such as AirServer, can do the same as a software solution, AirPlay requires the sending and receiving devices to be connected to the same wireless network in order to work. Apple's iPhone® (as of version 4S) and iPad® mobile devices (both of which run the iOS operating system) are capable AirPlay sending devices and Apple's Apple TV® digital media extender is a capable receiver. Mirroring is an umbrella term for a group of wireless technologies that facilitate the projection of what you see and hear on a sending device or computer to a receiving device's display and speakers.Īpple has implemented a mirroring solution through its AirPlay® protocol (). In general, these problems are solved with a technology called screen mirroring. ![]() This method of presenting is considered suboptimal for the following reasons: disconnecting and connecting are physical operations, and the sound from the device is not projectable to the external display. When many people are presenting, switching from one user to another requires the cable to be disconnected from one laptop/computer and connected to the laptop/computer of the person who needs to present content. In other cases the receiver or “receiving device” may be built in/embedded in a TV or projector, or in a dongle running receiver software. This situation requires the laptop/computer to be physically connected with a cable. An external display can be a projector or a TV or any device connectable to a laptop/computer. The user has the need to show others, or generally visualize, the screen contents of their device on an external display. A typical example of content presentation is a user with his or her computer/laptop connected to a projector in a meeting room, classroom or any type of venue that has an external display. It is commonly known that people often need to present content from their computing devices. Android, Windows) can currently make use of technologies such as Chromecast, Google Cast™, Miracast®, DNLA, Mirrorop and Airtame to achieve mirroring for their relevant platforms. Apple® iOS® mobile computing devices can use the AirPlay® protocol to mirror content to devices such as the Apple TV, which can be connected to a screen such as a TV. The limitation with current mirroring technologies is that heterogeneous operating system platforms (e.g., Apple®, Google® Android™, Microsoft® Windows®) are unable to mirror content to a single content receiver. The invention is directed to wireless mirroring from multiple types of device platforms (operating systems) via multiple types of mirroring protocols to a single receiver capable of receiving mirroring streams from devices. 23, 2014, incorporated herein in its entirety. 22, 2015, which claims priority under 35 U.S.C. ![]() ![]() 20, 2017, which is a national stage application under 35 U.S.C.
