Patent ID: 8284797

Claim:
A method for wireless data transfer, performed by a first multimedia device, for exchanging data with a second multimedia device, in which the first multimedia device and the second multimedia device are connected via a point-to-point wireless connection that is operable according to a first wireless data transfer standard and to a second wireless data transfer standard, and in which the first wireless data transfer standard and the second wireless data transfer standard are different from and not compatible with each other, said method comprising: application data receiving in which application commands, application parameters, and application data of the first wireless data transfer standard are received by the first multimedia device from an application of the first multimedia device; thereafter, transmitting data, in a data transmission, from the first multimedia device according to the first wireless data transfer standard by performing connection layer processing in which the application commands, application parameters, and application data are processed by the first multimedia device to obtain respective connection commands, connection parameters, and connection data according to the first wireless data transfer standard; thereafter, while transmitting data in the data transmission from the first multimedia device to the second multimedia device according to the first wireless data transfer standard, determining to switch from the first wireless data transfer standard to the second wireless data transfer standard; and thereafter, switching from the first wireless data transfer standard to the second wireless data transfer standard, by the first multimedia device, so as to switch from transmitting data, in the data transmission, according to the first wireless data transfer standard to transmitting data, in the data transmission, according to the second wireless data transfer standard without interruption of the data transmission, the switching including performing adaptation layer processing in which a standard conversion is performed, the standard conversion processing including converting the connection commands, connection parameters, and connection data from the connection layer processing, which are in accordance with the first wireless data transfer standard, into respective processed connection commands, processed connection parameters, and processed connection data, which are in accordance with the second wireless data transfer standard.
