Design and Implementation of Imaging Protocol for Mobile Phones

This paper describes the design and implementation of an imaging protocol for mobile phones. This protocol enables a user to transfer content from a mobile phone to various display devices (e.g. projector) and control content presentation (e.g. display, forward , backward, etc.) by the same mobile phone, via various network interfaces (e.g. WLAN, Bluetooth, USB and IrDA). Using the proposed protocol, a mobile phone user can realize a content presentation equivalent to that possible with a PC. To ensure interoperability with existing display devices, we set a gateway between the mobile phone and the display devices. The gateway outputs the commands accepted by the device selected to allow the mobile phone user to control the device transparently.
