Abstract
A portable electronic device that includes a touch screen display and a wireless communication circuitry operable at least partly in the 2.4 GHz frequency band is disclosed and enabled. The portable electronic device includes features for searching output devices using the wireless communication circuitry; displaying on the touch screen display a list identifying one or more output devices found by the searching; receiving an input supplied to the touch screen display for selecting a selected output device; and subsequently, receiving, from at least the selected output device, via the wireless communication circuitry, an output device attribute; configuring an output stream using the output device attribute; and transmitting, via the wireless communication circuitry, the configured output stream to the selected output device. The output device may be a display device, a television, a printer, an audio device, or an external controller connectable to a television.
